Portia has been a top player in her class for the last couple seasons, showing she can play at an elite level over the last couple seasons too.

She does it all for her team and always does whatever it takes to win, that is just what type of player she is. She gets doubled often but fights through it to find open teammates or even break open to get her own bucket. She plays elite defense and can cause havoc, being able to defend any guard in the state. She will have a great college player too, being a team first player and always being unselfish.

Portia is going to be the top player for Newport and with some underclassman who have yet to show their game off at the varsity level, Polo should expect double teams often. She has been dealing with it already in fall league action but has played through the pressure in a big way. She can dribble through double teams and use her quickness to find her open teammates or get down-low in the paint to get the contact and get the bucket. She is a phenomenal game manager, being able to control the pace of the game well. 4 year coaches should have her on thier radars.
