Livi Fosness Livi Fosness 6'0" | PF/C Mountain Home | 2026 State AR is a paint beast who is essentially unstoppable to stop. Now the Harding commit is keeping her great regular play going in the postseason.

In a tough second-round win over Vilonia, Fosness could not be handled, putting up 23 points and pulling down 20 rebounds. This is not the first time she has put up a stat line like that, as she killed Greenwood with 34 points and 22 boards right before the playoffs began.
