Maybe a surprise pick for some, but not for me as Jackson lead her mostly young, but talented team to an excellent regular season and a place in the Final Four. It’s not a surprise pick for Grayson head coach Tim Slater either, who had to play and beat Hillgrove to get to the state championship game. Jackson is fundamentally sound and a very capable scorer from all three levels. She plays with maturity and intelligence, never forcing shots and letting the game come to her. Hillgrove has so many young, talented players with bright futures themselves, but they deffered to Jackson and let her lead. Something she did exceptionally well. She is an elite athlete with excellent quickness and lateral movement. She handles the ball well and is an outstanding passer. She plays the game with no fear and a high level confidence and conviction. I expect Jackson to have a very good college career with a chance to potentially play overseas when she is done.
