A point guard that showed good handles and the ability to get to the paint in half court offensive sets. A deep outside shooter that demands respect from the defense helped create driving gaps for the guard. Good vision int he open floor always looking to advance the ball with the pass.

Solid on the ball defense keeping herself between the ball handler and basket. Tough player that did not mind selling out on the floor for a loose ball. 2026 that has offers to play ball at the next level.

Got the opportunity to watch Matney PGH Battle in the Sunflower. The effort and hustle she competes with caught my attention right away. It didn’t hurt either that she could knock down the 3. The guard will need to pick up the load of the scoring due to graduation and loss of scorers

The point guard that played solid each game I watched and brings little bit of every skill set you are looking for in a guard. A good shooter from 3-point range on the catch and shoot. Feet were set, hands ready all she needed was the ball on the kick or reversal. When ran off the line she wasted no time in getting to the paint reading the defense. She showed a pull up jumper, straight drive or the kick to the open shooter. On the pick and roll with the post she showed the patience to give the roller the time needed before passing the ball resulting into a nice scoring opportunity.

Scrappy guard that had no issues in getting on the floor for the loose ball. Nice reads on the next pass jumping the lane for the steal leading to points off turnovers. Matney never seemed to get tired or have an attitude. I watched her attack the rim get knocked to the ground on the no call and hustled back on defense. Enjoyed watching her play in person for the first time this weekend..

Matney is an exceptional all-around player who excels in multiple facets of the game. Whether on offense or defense, she consistently demonstrates her versatility and skill.

Offensively, she shows great vision, creativity, and accuracy, while defensively, she is quick, strategic, and reliable.

Her all-around talent makes her an indispensable contributor to any game.
