A promising combo forward with good athleticism, Powell provided a huge spark on the bench. Hit an open jumper in the mid-range. Otherwise did her work around the rim, even attacking out of the high post for a big time finish through contact. She converted the free throw and that got Metro within three in the fourth. While it was a bitter ending, her performance in state is a fantastic building block. If she can continue to refine her raw edges, she could be a real force as a sophomore. And beyond.
