“Nation is one of the top players to come out of Nevada in the state’s history. She is a matchup nightmare at 6-2 with her skill set and because of how hard she competes. She draws double- and triple-teams and handles the pressure like a player beyond her years. It’s rare to find a kid her size and age who has made such an impact so soon.”
