About Mariah
Expert Analysis
Brandon Bradley | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
First and foremost, Mariah is one of the fastest, most athletic guards in the state, regardless of graduating class. She is a talented on-ball defender who can lock up 84-feet, plus she can turn on the jets and dribble by defenders in transition. Monday, she was very aggressive offensively. She knocked down shots from outside, was steady at the free throw line, plus she was very good at seeing passes in advance and leading teammates to easy scores. She gives Lawrence Central a unique presence in the backcourt.

When you think about playmaking, usually you think offensively. However, Mariah is one of those kids who if you watch her enough, your mind moves to the defensive end of the floor. She can take over games as a ball hawk, and she did such a thing Sunday morning. Down 16 points, her and her teammates rallied due to their defense, and she was at the center of it all. She caused turnovers, created transition opportunities, and she even knocked down a couple of needed jumpers.

Mariah is absolutely an “intangibles” kid who you are going to have to watch for all of the “little things” she does and not just calculate statistics. She is an absolute blur in transition, and she can run by most kids, even with the ball in her hands. Defensively, she is a legitimate baseline-to-baseline on-ball defender, and she can really disrupt opposing backcourts. She gave quite a defensive boost to the Lady Bears this Winter. As she continues to work on her perimeter shot, it will only benefit her because of her speed, and when she mixes up her gears, she’s difficult to contain.
