Playing the four spot for the Eagles is the long, fast and athletic Boyd. Versatility will be a major calling card in the years ahead. A high of 11 boards against Shawnee Mission Northwest shows her rebounding chops and her handle in transition highlights her ability to work on the perimeter. Averaging 5 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game through 5 games watch her to develop into a high caliber wing.
