Team Elite (Georgia) Fall Finale Standouts

Mone Florence | 2021
Florence was phenomenal coming off the bench for Team Elite. She immediately contributed causing deflections and grabbing steals in order to create her own offensive possessions. She quickly turned these into fast break opportunities driving against contact and finding her open teammates in order for them to score, too. If she did have to play set defenses, she did an excellent job staying with her opponent or sliding into help positions when her teammates needed her to. In half court offensive situations, she did an excellent job getting her opponent off of her by using fakes and her speed to get by them.

Jayda Low | 2021
If you want someone who knows how to move her body quickly with and without the ball causing problems on both ends of the court, Low is your athlete. She was seemingly uncatchable running the floor knocking the ball out of opponents’ hands and creating fast breaks from that opportunity. She quickly crashed the boards and made cuts on offense showing that she is sneaky with her moves getting by her defenders. Additionally, she had several second chance opportunities with these moves.

Session recently committed to Furman, and she showed that she certainly belongs there. She was aggressive inside the paint making strong post moves to score.

On defense, she is very active constantly moving around the court with her feet and hands causing problems for her opponents to get by her.

Galvan was dominant on defense over the weekend. She could pick the pockets of her opponents grabbing the ball right out from under players trying to dribble or right out of their hands when trying to hold the ball.

These steals quickly turned into fast break opportunities for her.

Kyndall Sessom | 2023
Sessom was a very unselfish player, and you could tell by the way she was always looking around for her teammates when she was handling the ball.

She had several old fashioned three point plays.

Camille Files | 2025
Files seemed to have the composure of a much older athlete while handling the ball for her team. She controlled the tempo of the game pushing the ball up the court or slowing it down and setting up offenses on that end of the court. When she didn’t have the ball, she was making some nice backdoor cuts losing her opponent in the process. On defense, she was constantly grabbing steals and pushing them up the court to get her own points in transition or pass to one of her teammates to score.

She showed great vision of the court looking to pass to her teammates, too.
