Very good footwork in the paint, gets to the rim and make plays. Aggressive with excellent handles and can push the tempo and finish strong through contact.  Excellent court vision and distributes well into the paint.

Nariyah Crowe Nariyah Crowe 5'7" | PG Bardstown | 2025 State KY showed up in a big way and had a monster game against Team 419 in her final game of the tournament. She went off for a team-high 27 points, dished 5 assist, poked away 4 steals, and pulled down 3 rebounds. Nariyah showed that she can put up big numbers, get others involved, and make an impact on the defensive end as well.

I really didn’t get to see much of Bardstown’s half court offense because their guards really weren’t letting the opponent past half court. Grabbed a number of steals both in the press and from applying excellent pressure defensively. Made great decisions with the ball, including some impressive passes in transition. Scored at all 3 levels in a variety of ways. Made some crafty moves to finish at the rim.

Crowe is one of the best defenders and rebounders on this list. Despite being one of Bardstown’s primary ball handlers, she is actually leading them in rebounds throughout their 1st 4 games at 8.2 RPG. I don’t have the stats for steals, but I’d imagine she’s up at the top in that category as well, so she clearly doesn’t just bring an offensive presence to the floor. Crowe is really quick and she uses her length well. Offensively, she’s a good passer and she can create. She also does a great job of getting to the rim and drawing fouls. If she can get her free throw percentage up, I can see Crowe averaging a double-double by the end of this season.

Crowe is quick and she utilizes her length so well. She does a great job of getting out into the passing lanes and coming up with steals. She also crashes the boards really well and she goes after rebounds strong. Crowe can defend any position and she consistently plays hard. Offensively, she is a really good outside shooter. She catches the ball ready to shoot and she moves to the open areas on the perimeter. Crowe is also a good passer. She makes great passes inside and down the floor in transition. Bardstown graduated 2 excellent players in Jaileyah Cotton and Kadence Walls, who also led them in scoring last season, so expect Crowe to play a much bigger role for the Lady Tigers this season.
