Expert Analysis
Akiem Bailum | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Coach Henry Middleton’s Team USC Unleashed 2024 squad may have had a rough go of things matching up against Carolina Hoopers 2024 on Sunday afternoon, but Lauren proved to be the bright spot she is game in and game out. The 1A Trojans’ standout made plays left and right for Team USC Unleashed 2024 en route to a 20-point showing. Middleton can effectively run point and throws defenses for a loop with her ability to either score or pass. When she does attack the rim, she is particularly difficult to contain and she possesses the ability to place points on the board from long range.

Middleton has played her travel ball with Team USC Unleashed. She has been a big reason why the 1A Trojans have been particularly difficult to contend with on their home court. Cross has only dropped one out of its six home games this season and that defeat was to the 2A powerhouse known as Timberland. Middleton is navigating the Trojans through a Region 8-A that includes St. John’s as well as two-time defending 1A champions Military Magnet. Between what she does as a scorer, rebounder and defender, there is a reason why Middleton was an eighth grader playing at the varsity level.

Middleton was able to step up her game some today on the defensive end of the floor. Lauren played active in the passing lanes while picking up some steals the other way in transition.
Middleton plays at a small Class 1A school down in Berkeley County and a bit off the grid at times.
