GIRLS STANDOUTS

ZANIA SOCKA, JAGUARS

Zania is a 6'3 point-forward that does it all. This weekend we watched her rebound the ball on the defensive end and start the fast break, handle the ball with full court pressure, and catch the ball at the high post and knock down a 15-footer. In two games she posted 16 points and 5 blocks total.

SANIYA HYMES, JAGUARS

The versatile and agile post player does a little bit of everything. In a victory over a very talented Team Excel , Saniya dropped a quiet 20 points. She shot 100% from the free throw line (5-5) and connected with a 3-pointer. 

QADENCE SAMUELS, TEAM EXCEL

One of the most versatile players in the league. In her return, she collected 18 points and 5 rebounds in a close game against the Jaguars. She seemed to give her team a boost when they needed it, whether it was an And 1 bucket or a 3-pointer to keep the score close.

NIA FORD, F.O.E. UNITED

This NC Central University commit shoots the ball very well. In a two-point victory over the Jaguars, Nia scored 10 points and knocked down a pair of 3-pointers.

EMRIE AARONS, F.O.E. UNITED

A point guard that does a great job distributing the ball on offense and giving her opponents a tough time on defense. Emrie doesn't score a lot, but her contributions are major. She scored a game-high this weekend with 14 points against GameTime Elite.

RANDI GRIFFIN, TEAM AMIRA

A very solid and consistent post player. Currently averaging 8 points and 4 rebounds per game. In week 6,  had a game-high 12 points against Production Over Hype.
