is a big reason Maiden is a state champion. Her versatility on the court and ability to see where to go to be an offensive threat is an asset. She moves well flashing in the paint, and she does what it takes to grab rebounds. She also makes moves off the dribble getting into position to score some points.

Approximately a week ago, Culliver concluded her illustrious career at 4A Maiden by leading her Blue Devils with a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds en route a 44-39 state championship victory over Fairmont at The Joel in Winston-Salem. She would follow that up with a 14-point performance for North Carolina at Dorman HS. As those numbers suggest, Culliver is a stellar rebounder and scorer who is also difficult to guard against because of her tall stature. Defensively, she is a threat to collect a sizable amount of steals and block plenty of shots. She averaged 16.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.6 steals, 2.1 assists and 1.4 blocks in her swan song season at Maiden. Two words – unsigned senior.

was doing a lot of work in the paint sealing off her opponents to get the entry pass, and she didn’t back down from contact going up for shots or rebounds. She was using offensive rebounds to get her own points. Her offensive rebounding was effective giving her team the lead back with under a minute to go and ultimately winning the game for her team.

When matching up against Maiden, one must find a way to keep its veteran big off the scoreboard and off the board boards. The senior Blue Devils star ensured her final time in a Maiden uniform would be one to remember as she led her Maiden assembling to the tune of a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Culliver also made sure that whenever she was fouled it translated to good fortunes for Maiden. She had seven attempts from the charity stripe and was true on all seven. Culliver also grabbed a game-high eight offensive rebounds in addition to a pair of steals. The Kay Yow Most Valuable Player recipient is among the six 2026s set to graduate from Maiden.

runs the floor well waiting for the pass in transition to score some points. She knew when to go up herself or make the extra pass hitting her teammate for the shot. She got on the floor going after loose balls making sure her team could get the turnover. She even picked the pocket of her opponents trying to drive to the rim.
