Expert Analysis
Evan Bell | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Kayla had a very solid game for Michigan Cobras 17U at the PGH MI College Tour II. She worked hard inside to corral rebounds on both ends and dribbled the ball comfortably up the floor with her left. Kayla patiently changed speeds, surveyed the scene, and lulled the defense to sleep with her wide dribbles. Once driving lanes opened up, she accelerated towards the basket and caused fouls. Kayla knocked down free throws with confidence and made a nice transfer for a catch and finish in transition. She’s an athletic and determined two-way player.

“Kayla is in her 2nd year on varsity, getting the opportunity to start many games last season. She is a physical and tough player. She has the ability to get to the rim and cause defenders to foul her. She had a great summer of development and we look for her to play a large role in our success this year.” – Coach Hovermale
