Tristan’s back step jumper from mid-range is unstoppable! Her wheels are next level; in a blink she’s grabbing a board and scoring on the other end of the court in a matter of seconds! It doesn’t matter who’s guarding her, this baller has proved why she’s one of the best! Ice in her veins- she was clutch, knocking down both free-throws with 4.2 seconds left in the game to seal the win! (Featured Photo, with ball)

! The future UNLV Rebel is ready to rock and roll as the #1 seed in their bracket! She is completely confident in her shot and her ability to get downhill and score with zero hesitation in both the halfcourt and transition. I’m excited to see how the star shooting guard performs when the lights are the brightest in the state tournament!

There isn’t enough that can be said about Williams’s game! She is truly a difference maker and pure bucket from all spots on the floor. The UNLV commit is nothing short of phenom on the court when the game is on the line! Williams is a sensational transition scorer when attacking the basket and seeks out contact when going towards the rim. She is an elite ball handler who is more than capable of handling herself when facing full court pressure. Her three-point shot is pure as she demonstrates each game that she is a three-level scorer! When you need a quick backet, Williams is the clear chose to get it for you. Electric first step and strength finishing inside makes her a dynamic presence for the Gators. Being the best player on the Laurel Gators, there is no doubt in my mind that she will have a very bright future at the college level when her time comes!

The role for Tristan changed considerably this season as she had to take on more of a scoring role and she lived up to the challenge. Her steady court play and leadership was key to the success at Laurel this year. Averaged 22 points per game and looks for a big summer heading into her senior season.

Williams enjoys cutting and finishing through traffic! Capable of taking on the paint and either dishing it to her teammate or finishing with a delicate touch. Strong and athletic when shooting the basketball. Williams is an extremely talented and hardy guard! She responds to passes so fast that she ends up getting steals. She can shoot really impressively from behind the three-point line. Great body control on her way up to score. With the biggest leap in the rankings she will be moving off the watchlist to number 15 in the rankings!
