Natalie Potts Gatorade 2020 - 2021: Player of the Year Girls Basketball

“The thing about Natalie is that she plays both ends of the court. Her offensive numbers are very impressive, but she also alters tons of shots defensively and she runs the floor at such a high level that she is a huge asset in the press. She affects the game in so many ways.”
