“She excels in all phases of the game in the midfield and final third. She distributes the ball anywhere in the attacking half of the field, moves off the ball well, attacks individually with the ball and makes off-ball runs into the box. She’s a stud and infuriating to play against.”

Bucky McCarley

Head Coach head coach at Myers Park High
