A young lady who always seems to impress me. From start to finish, she has grown in her all-around game and has not been pigeon-holed into a particular position. One who can get it done on the inside, but also spray from the arc. She’s on the boards, defends at a high clip, and is willing to do the little things right to give her team an edge. No matter the platform, she’s dialed in and gives maximum effort. This kid has thrived, and every club she has been a part of, whether it’s travel ball or school ball, she has done nothing but rise to the occasion and help push her team over the edge. She’s a ballplayer and is going to be a steal for whatever program she commits to at the next level. Whoever it may be will be getting a tireless worker who has a high basketball IQ and the will to do whatever it takes to win.

A workhorse who seems to always be adding to her game. She’s a get who has transitioned nicely to playing various positions/spots on the floor. Sure, she can grind it out down low with her back to the basket, exploit the mid-range, knock down 3s along the perimeter, but now she’s even added to where she can catch and show a counter, then take you off the dribble. An aggressive ballplayer who is going to do her part on both ends of the floor. She’s on the board. She’s going to defend. She’s going to defend. She’s a contributor in every statistical category there is. She’s on a mission to help her school go deep this senior season. In the meantime, look for her to also commit to a program at the next level and truly be a solid piece for that school for years to come.

 Versatile forward who brings it every time she steps onto the floor. Can play inside or out; her ability to stretch the floor and contribute inside makes her a difficult matchup. Call her a vet in this game, since she’s been doing this for a while. The one thing I will say, she is as consistent as they come. Each game, she gets better and better, and her presence on the floor makes a world of difference. She’s solid, consistent, and gives her best effort no matter the task. She’s a heady ballplayer who picks her spots to exploit. A lunchpail, hard hat type of young lady, you better believe any time she is on the floor, she’s going to be a difference maker. 

Every year, this young lady adds to her bag. She is a tough competitor who can do many things. From knocking down shots on the perimeter to finishing in the paint, she’s grown every single year offensively, turning herself into a threat any time she is on the floor. She’s also one who will contribute in other phases of the game. Rebounds, steals, boxing out, she brings a total package to the game that is impactful. The maturation process has been phenomenal, and I look for her to be a solid addition to a club at the next level.

Tough kid who is about to have a breakout year. This kid has the willingness to do whatever it takes to win. Effort and energy, and of course talent, this kid strives to excel every time she steps onto the floor. A determined individual who can score but also contribute in multiple phases of the game. She is an all-around player, and she is going to be front and center as her team gets going this upcoming season. Look for her to reel in some offers and help her ballclub reach new heights.

Olivia Loveday Olivia Loveday 5'8" | SF/SG The King's Academy | 2027 State TN is one of the better shooters in the entirety of the class of 2027. She has a quick trigger on her jumper and has great off-ball movement to go with it. Because of her good off-ball movement, she can get open looks beyond the arc consistently, despite teams trying to key in on her.

Beyond her shot, Loveday is also a great creator. She can run her team’s offense when needed. When she does so she is efficient in looking for her teammates when they are in ideal spots to score. Loveday can also fire passes through tight windows.

Put Liv at the top of the glue player list! She recently earned “The Glue Award” by TKA. Well deserved and well earned! Loveday works extremely hard on and off the court. In the classroom, she holds a 4.2 GPA. She continues to make an impact in anything she does. Now, let’s speak facts on the basketball court! Liv is one of the best communicators. She is vocal on offense, defense, and she is always vocal when it’s her time to sit. A leader with a bright light that continues to shine! Defensively, she will give up her body to take charges, and she will dive on the floor for every loose ball. She is a strong finisher around the rim. She can finish well with either hand. She continues to rebound exceptionally well. Liv Loveday is a name that will continue to be mentioned. Check out one of her highlights:

Loveday was the first athlete to get on the board for TKA. She has a knack for finding open spots on the court. She is an athlete that truly gives over 110% on every possession. Despite the loss, there was no quit in Liv and I have no doubts that Loveday, & the TKA squad won’t bounce back!

The epitome of a teammate! No matter where Liv is on the court or off, she is actively contributing to her team’s success! She continues to demonstrate effective communication skills. If you are in a quiet gym, you will hear Loveday! I love how this athlete has a team-first mentality! She doesn’t care if she is the leading scorer, the leading rebounder, or at the top of any list. She cares about her team and winning! Liv’s positive attitude and commitment to being her best self will continue to set her apart from so many athletes! This young kid gets it and I love following her journey! I truly can’t say enough great things that Liv does on and off the basketball court!
