Powell has the natural talent and the opportunity at Metro Christian to have a huge sophomore campaign. Promising athlete and with her plus wingspan, she plays bigger than her 5’10 listing. While also having the long term potential to defend along the perimeter. Dominating on the glass and being efficient around the rim are good bench marks for Powell to impact winning for a Metro team that is replacing quite a bit of production. Consistent shooting, especially if she can match her older sister, will be a key area to track for her long term development.

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.

Powell was covered in Instant Reactions. After going through more notes and footage from the camp, her all around defensive impact was underreported in that write up. Disruptive in passing lanes with deflections, getting out to trap and denying when covering off the ball. Continued to be impressed with the potential of intangibles and athleticism.

Energy always stands out and that was the case for Powell. Her effort was most apparent in how she ran the floor hard and attacked the glass. Especially on the offensive end. Always seemed to be the one to corral rebounds and then quickly score. Looks to be a better athlete then her older sister, Natalie (who’s a very good senior shooter). There’s room to grow on the skill side but enthusiasm and athleticism are a great starting point for the 918 standout’s high school career.

The addition of Norah adds another tall forward to the Metro Christian Academy.
