High
School Statistics: 16PPG,
12RPG, 1STL, 1APG, FG 32% and FT 75%. High
School Former Coach Gary Rady's Comments: 3
or 4 spot (Co-Captain). Solid rebounder, very capable of finishing
the play. Starting to feel comfortable creating shots in the
paint. Runs the floor and likes to play defense. Difficult
to defend because of her ability to shoot from the outside and her
ability to play down low. Excellent floor leader.
*Florida
High's earliest player male/female
to score 1,000 points in basketball career. 4th all time leading
scorer.

AAU/YBOA Statistics:
12PPG,
4RPG, 1STL, 1APG, 1BLK, FG 32% and FT 57%. Coach Mickey Clayton's Comments, mickeyhsd@earthlink.net:
Can
penetrate from the perimeter & knocks her free-throw down. Can
score from perimeter but is not consistent. Does a little bit of
everything, looks to pass first, improving as a rebounder as her
strength improves. Does a good job of anticipating passes and
steals while watching the offense, but has to improve on ball defense.
Is the daughter of a
college coach, is left handed and knows the game well. Is a warrior and
is playing out of position in high school but is a perimeter player.
Has 3 point range but has to become more consistent, Gets to the basket
and gives up her body, last year shot 200 more free throws than anyone
else in the big bend area and hit them at 71% clip.
Has 8 double-double games in 11
contests. Does
excellent job of filling lanes on break, must get stronger - has never
lifted weights so there is room there for that strength to be developed.
Is not physical player thought not intimidated - she is more of
a finesse wing player. Senior year will be enrolled in Physics and
Calculus. Has had 3 years of Latin, already. She is mid level D-1
prospect due to size and ability to play the wing.
Additional
Comments: Lightening
rod of the team and the leader, looks to take big shot, can hit
the 3 (but not as consistent as I would like to see it but has 3 point
range). Myah had 23 point & 12 rebs in quarterfinals of Boo
Williams Tournament vs. 6'4, 6'3, 62 inside players. She scored from
perimeter and off dribble. Myah is awkward getting to basket but gets there as
she gives her body up and has tendency not to be focused all the time,
defensively. She knows the game as a coaches daughter and is heady.
She
has become a shot blocker but still needs to get stronger. She
will be taking college classes in the fall as she
enters her senior campaign. Myah can get to
basket but does not handle the ball well enough to be a big guard but
adequate enough for the 3 and will get better. She lives at free-throw
line and can get out of control from time-to-time, trying to lead break
and that is not her strength, can create own shot better from corner,
wing and top of circle.
