Ford was one of the more consistent playmakers throughout the weekend in metro-Atlanta. She was one of two eighth graders that earned roster spots with First Presbyterian Day this past season and was part of a Vikings team that concluded its 2025-26 season with a 17-12 record. One Step Away Select 2030 was another team whose Peach Games weekend began inauspiciously as it suffered a close defeat to Grind To Shine (GTS) Basketball 15U. Three wins later and Ford led One Step Away Select 2030 to a successful weekend. Among Ford’s many positive hoops attributes include knowing when to score and when to pass, handling the ball with either hand, turning defense into offense and willing to fall to the floor to complete a play.

Ford ensured that her One Step Away Select 2030 team was in a spot to win on Friday evening at Marietta HS. Her speed and shiftiness with the ball in her hand can make her particularly tough for defenses to contend with. She also takes a fearless approach to attacking the basket and a 3-point shot is also an element of her offensive repertoire. Defensively, Ford understands the importance of keeping one’s hands and arms outstretched. Her playmaking abilities will attract plenty of double teams from opposing defenses. She added nine points to her team’s effort in what was an entertaining contest with Grind To Shine (GTS) Basketball 15U.
