Olivia Boyce: The 5’6 guard from Carmel Christian high school was an All-State team selection this last season. She is a scrappy, tough nosed, player. She is a knock down 3 point shooter, converting 39% of her attempts, and has a nice high release. On top of being a good shooter, she drives to the rim hard and can take the contact and finish well. She sees the floor well, passes ahead to open teammates, or finds them behind the arc. She is tough on the boards to for her size and position, grabbing 4 boards a game. She plays AAU for the Lady Attack Elite organization.
Emma Phibbs: The 5’8 guard from Metrolina Christian Academy is a stat sheet stuffer. Has her fingerprints all over the game with her scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals. She shoots the 3 ball well, and if you close out on her standing up straight she just drives past you to the rim. She has a nice floater and can finish right or left handed. She has good court vision, if she drives and the defense collapses she can dish off, and when they close out on her jump shot she dumps down to the post. She snags right around 5 boards a game too. She does a good job of crashing weak side, and being in the right place at the right time. She plays AAU for the Lady Attack Elite organization.
Sophie Deese: The 5’6 guard from University Christian high school is another scrappy, hard nosed player. She is a tough defender, averaging nearly 4 steals per game, she plays hard and reads the floor well when on defense. She recorded a season high 11 in the opening game of the season. She is capable of shooting the 3, but better when getting into the paint. For her size she rebounds hard, is not afraid of getting in the paint and battling on the boards grabbing right around 5 per game.
Lilly Reynolds: The 5’8 guard from Metrolina Christian Academy is a long and lanky hustle player. While a capable 3 point shooter, she is better from mid-range. She gets in the paint and and is long enough to finish over and around people. Another player who is fine with taking a hit while going up for a layup, and a player who crashes the boards hard.
