“Jadyn is an all-around player. She does everything for Sidwell. The thing I love most about Jadyn is she plays defense, rebounds and sacrifices her game for the sake of the team. She has the potential to take over the game at any given moment when it’s needed.”

Andre Foreman

Head Coach - head coach of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School
