The 5-foot-7 floor general had been really good this season through seven games, and it’s her ability to distribute the basketball that’s been the pass-first point guard’s best strength.
“I would say my strongest skill set is passing the ball. I’m a player that looks for my teammates before taking a shot myself. And my goal is to get my teammates open and help my team win in any way I can,” said Eimers.
“I would say I need to get better at making moves around defenders, like the second move when a defender steps up. And I’ll continue to work on shooting.”
Through seven games, Eimers has been averaging 11.4 points, 4.6 assists and 3.1 steals per game for the Bobcats.
“I’ve definitely stepped up into more of a leader role this season, talking a lot and just setting an example,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of girls injured this season, and I missed four games this season; I’m ready to get back out there.”
Tom play Division II basketball is a goal for her, and she’ll be playing with Elite 17U this coming spring and summer, a local team with girls from the Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois Tri-State area. So far, Eimers has been hearing from some D2 and D3 schools.
“I want to tand play D2 basketball ,” she said. “And I hope our AAU plays as well as we can this year.”
