Olivia Moore Olivia Moore 5'7" | CG Mead | 2022 State WA provides strong scoring threat
2022 5’7 CG Olivia Moore Olivia Moore 5'7" | CG Mead | 2022 State WA is a guard wired to score and she showed that for Mead as she dropped 24 points on 10-15 shooting. 4 out of her 10 made field goals came from the three line, but she also scored in transition and knocked down some pull-up jumpers. When Moore is knocking down her shots, Mead is a tough out.
Omlin is a physical slasher
2023 5’10 SF Kendall Omlin Kendall Omlin 5'10" | SG Ferris | 2023 WA (Ferris HS) is a lefty slasher that made her mark on the game early on finishing in the paint and drawing fouls. It was not quite her usual scoring output, but you could see Mead made it a point to make things difficult for her. Omlin will be able to help a program at some level of college.
Mead brings defensive intensity
Mead is aggressive and applies a tough man to man full court defense. 2022 5’10 SF Alicia Suggs Alicia Suggs 5'10" | SF Mead | 2022 State WA is a versatile defender that can also score. 2022 6’0 PF Parker Brown Parker Brown 6'0" | PF Mead | 2022 State WA (Air Force commit) provides some rebounding and rim protection. 2024 5’8 CG Teryn Gardner Teryn Gardner 5'8" | PG Mead | 2024 State WA scored 14 points, but she is a solid athlete that does a good job on the ball defensively.
GSL is down this year
The GSL is the standard in girls basketball for the state of Washington, but this year is not a regular year top to bottom. While Mead is 10-0, and considered a state title contender, the GSL as a whole is not what it once was. There is a real lack of Division 1 level players when there would be 10-15+ D1 prospects across the league.
Spink is a recruitable prospect for Ferris
2022 5’10 Kacey Spink Kacey Spink 5'8" | PG Ferris | 2022 State WA (Ferris HS) had a solid second half and led Ferris with 12 points for the game and she is the second player that could be recruited at some level of college.
