The amount of talent from top to bottom on this team is beyond impressive. In every position they are loaded and cover all areas of the game.

Their lockdown defense left teams frustrated and scoreless. Their hustle never turned down from start to finish. Jazzarah Donaie (’25) and Mikayla Taborn (’24) together have a wingspan that can stretch across the paint. They are versatile on both ends of the court. Jazzarah can shoot the from deep and Mikayla owns the boards. They both are quick and get down the court in transition. Other players like Ashanti Fox (’25) and Laniya Scales (’24) add gas to the fire to always keep the energy and level of play high. This team was exciting to watch.
