Maya McCorkle Maya McCorkle 5'9" | CG Cannon | 2025 State NC | Cannon
McCorkle is a play maker drawing defenders towards her to dish the ball to her teammates or take it all the way to the hoop herself. Contact does not scare her as she can score through any opponent that is trying to stop her. She moves well with the ball controlling the tempo, and she makes smart cuts shifting the defense to set up the right play. She tracks the ball well on defense grabbing steals and even shows off her shot blocking abilities.
Delanie Hill Delanie Hill 5'7" | CG Providence | 2024 State NC | Providence
Hill has been on many people’s radar for a while with her shooting abilities, but her IQ and shot selection have really stood out this past year. She is consistent with her ball handling and her shooting no matter who she is competing against. She knows how to get space between her and her defenders to get a play going. Her vision of the court is apparent on defense as well knowing when to jump into passing lanes to disrupt her opponents.
Jasmine Harris Jasmine Harris 5'8" | CG Northern Guilford | 2024 State NC | Northern Guilford
Harris has the work ethic and will to learn that others envy and will certainly take her far. She has a wide range of moves with the ball that gets her by her opponents. She doesn’t need to make it all the way to the basket to score, though, as she has a nice jump shot all over the court. She is quick and knows how to push the ball up the court with speed. She can also slow it down to run a play for her team. She’s already picked up an offer from Appalachian State University, and I am sure the list will continue to grow.
Olivia Burke Olivia Burke 5'8" | CG Porter Ridge | 2024 State NC | Porter Ridge
Burke continues to impress all over the court with her ability to make moves everywhere whether she has the ball or not. She takes control of the game by driving the ball to the hoop herself or make cuts to get passes to score. She is a scorer on all three levels making three points behind the arc and the old fashioned way. She is a tough defender staying in front of her opponent making it difficult for them to get by her.
