Parham runs the floor hard to get ahead of the ball and put herself in position to score, showing she can pull up for a jumper off the dribble and knock down threes from the corner. She hustles and follows her shot, crashing the glass after missing a corner three and getting her own rebound for a putback. She’s scrappy on defense and isn’t afraid to get on the floor for loose balls, using her active hands to collect multiple steals and turn them into fast-break layups, while also showing she can defend well in the full court.

Parham brings a lunch-pail mentality to every team she joins. Need someone to check a tough scorer? Parham clocks in. Need someone to battle for rebounds? She’s ready to work. Need the dirty work that never appears on the scoreboard? Look for Parham. Her toughness and strong work ethic make her invaluable to a roster. Every team needs someone willing to put on a hard hat and handle the tough jobs. Parham embraces that role.

Parham looks to step into a bigger role this season. Since then, her work and development have made her a reliable piece for the Bruins. A physical guard, Parham welcomes contact when battling for rebounds, defending larger opponents, and cleaning up missed shots. Additionally, her volleyball background translates into explosive athleticism on the basketball court. She pairs that explosiveness with a lunch-pail approach, embracing the gritty work her team needs. As her role expands, that willingness should make her a valuable contributor for Western Branch.

Samiah may be the lesser-known Parham twin, but that does not mean she is less skilled. Instead, she makes her impact through the gritty work that rarely grabs headlines. A relentless defender, Parham embraces physical play and refuses to shy away from contact. Whether battling in the post, pursuing loose balls, or taking charges, she competes without hesitation. Those skills and intangibles should serve her well as she steps into the starting lineup for her sophomore season.

Samiah meanwhile, may not fill the stat sheet like her twin. However, she impacts winning in many ways. She battles for rebounds, dives for loose balls, and takes on tough defensive assignments. Consequently, her blue-collar approach and relentless effort make her invaluable to any roster.
