The track and field standout used her strength to get on the glass and convert tough baskets inside. Carson, a shot putter, would swallow up rebounds and carve out space with her elbows. Her physicality is impressive.
2023 5-10 F Kynnadi Howard – Warner Robins
Long and active, Howard alters shots with her great length. She’s a mobile forward that runs the floor and can beat opponents to the rim. Kynnadi doesn’t need set plays called for her in order to be effective.

2023 5-7 G Loren Nelson Loren Nelson 5'7" | CG Marietta | 2023 VA – Marietta
The three-point shooting of Loren Nelson Loren Nelson 5'7" | CG Marietta | 2023 VA was timely for Marietta. Nelson isn’t the biggest guard, but she likes to stick her nose into scrums and can fight her way to offensive rebounds. When teams run her off the three-point line, Nelson can get to the mid-range in one or two dribbles and knock it down.
2024 5-6 SG Frances Storey – Marietta
Spark plug. That’s what Frances Storey was, especially in the first half when she netted 8 points. Storey hit a pull-up jumper to pair with two three-pointers. Storey shot the ball well over the offseason and her confidence has translated into early season success.
