Katie has length, a high motor, toughness, and versatility that will make her an immediate impact player at Pinckney this winter. Katie had a fierce look of determination as she took a defensive rebound coast-to-coast, driving hard to the basket through contact, and earning a trip to the line. Her assertive drives resulted in multiple fouls, and she converted free throws with a confident stroke from the charity stripe. Katie was active on the defensive end, sprinting back to break up a fast break on one possession and sprinting back to pick off a pass on another. After intercepting the pass, she immediately looked to score and motored up the court straight to the rim for two points. Katie used a swift crossover dribble to get by a defender and finished a layup with her left hand off two feet for a fast break bucket. She had a solid day for Team 4 at the PGH Freshman Showcase.

Katie showed toughness and confidence throughout the night at the Prep Girls Hoops MI State Showcase while competing with Team 2. Despite being one of the younger players on the floor, she never looked overwhelmed and competed hard every possession. Offensively, her quick first step allowed her to beat defenders off the dribble and get into the paint consistently. One of her best plays came when she attacked the basket, blew past her defender, and finished with a smooth reverse layup at the rim. Katie played with aggressiveness and poise, showing the ability to create scoring opportunities while holding her own against older competition.
