“Sayvia is an amazing player. Her handle, finishing and shooting are next level. At our tournament [the Al Howard Shootout], she was the MVP and won the free-throw and 3-point contests. She can get a bucket whenever she wants, but she’s not a selfish player at all.”
Eric Pomerleau
Head Coach - head coach of Soldotna High
