These rising seniors put up some big numbers this last year and are going to look to do the same in their final run. Here is who you should know:
Jillian Villanti: The 5’8 guard from Lake Norman Charter is an all conference player. She has a strong and solid build to her already, so she is able to get in the paint and finish through contact (going left or right). She has a good looking shot from deep and good range, but did not attempt that many on the season. Because of her size she is a good rebounding guard averaging almost 7 per game. She recorded 4 double-doubles on the season, and came just short a handful of times. She plays AAU for the Charlotte Dream Elite organization.
Grace Loftin: The 5’10 power forward from Newton-Conover was a glue kid who plays hard until the end. Averaging just under 11 points per game and 7 rebounds per game, she is the kid who plays until the whistle stops her. She recorded 5 double doubles on the season, and out of their last 7 games, 6 of them she scored 17 or more points. She was really getting them going down the stretch of the playoffs. Another great season is ahead of her.
Ashlyn White: The 5’6 guard from North Lincoln high school is a hustle player. Defensively she is all over the court for her team. She anticipates, she is not afraid to dive on the floor, or get knocked down going after steals. Averaging right at 4 per game, but recorded 5+ in 8 different games on the season. To go along with her high energy defense, she averaged 5 assists per game, recording over 100 on the season. She is an unselfish teammate, who does the little things to make her team go.
