Zamareya Jones Zamareya Jones 5'6" | PG North Pitt | 2024 State NC | North Pitt
Jones is such a crafty ball handler getting around any defender in front of her. She can finish around the rim no matter who is trying to stop her showing off some nice finger tip rolls and reverse layups to score her points. As someone who handles the ball well on the offensive side, she reads her opponents knowing how to strip the ball away when she is playing defense. It’s no surprise she already has Division I offers.
Taylor Barner Taylor Barner 5'7" | PG Panther Creek | 2024 State NC | Panther Creek
Barner can score from anywhere on the court, and she knows how to create space between her and her opponents with ball fakes, crossovers, hesitation moves, and everything in between. She stays ready to put up her shot whether she is pulling up for a midrange jumper or setting herself up for a deep three. Her defense creates more offensive possessions for her as she pushes steals up the court on fast break opportunities.
Serenity McNair Serenity McNair 5'5" | PG Grace Christian | 2024 State NC | Greenfield
McNair (pictured above) is such a great play maker already knowing exactly how to contribute to points on the court even when she isn’t the one putting the ball through the hoop. She moves efficiently with the ball shifting the defense to open up her teammates for their own points. She sees the floor well finding the open lanes to get to the basket herself. She seems to scope out the defense and determine how they will react before making her moves.
Bailee Goodlett Bailee Goodlett 5'6" | PG North Rowan | 2024 State NC | North Rowan
Goodlett is a fierce competitor and a tough defender grabbing steal after steal to take the other direction. She plays right up on her opponent knocking the ball out of their hands, or she can jump into passing lanes using her anticipation skills to dictate how her opponents are going to try to get a play going. On offense, she has a nice jab step and crossover that throws off her defenders in order for her to get to the basket or pull up for a jump shot.
