Blanca Thomas Blanca Thomas 6'5" | C Charlotte Catholic | 2024 State NC | Charlotte Catholic | PF | 2024
18 points // 14 rebounds // 5 steals // 4 blocks
Thomas continues to dominate in the paint grabbing boards and blocking shots. She did well setting herself up at the top of the key to get a play going followed by flashing in the paint for a pass and some points. She can battle through contact and convert from the free throw line.
Sarah Evans Sarah Evans 5'11" | SF Ardrey Kell | 2023 NC | Ardrey Kell | SF | 2023
8 points // 8 rebounds // 3 steals // 1 block
Evans (pictured above) is certainly expanding her game showing off a deep shot from behind the arc. She’s aggressive following shots to grab the rebound, and she sees the floor well finding her open teammates. She was constantly moving on offense cutting in and out of the paint making herself a big target to get the pass and score.
Jada Brigman Jada Brigman 5'9" | SF Olympic | 2022 State NC | Olympic | SF | 2022
7 points // 11 rebounds // 3 assists // 1 steal
Brigman showed her strength inside the paint grabbing rebounds and driving hard to the hoop. She sees the floor well and reads the defense knowing when to make her cuts. The UNC Asheville commit certainly knows how to make an immediate impact as soon as she steps into the game.
Olivia Robertson | Mallard Creek | SF | 2025
7 points // 6 rebounds // 3 steals // 6 blocks
Robertson is a strong presence inside sealing off her opponents, blocking shots, and grabbing rebounds. She does well reading the defenders knowing exactly when to block their shot, and she doesn’t let anyone get the rebound near her. She was instrumental in blocking shots but also grabbing the steal from those blocks completely ending the possession for her opponents.
