Players of the Week
Wednesday, September 14th, 2022
This week we will be featuring the following players:
HS Player: Samantha Wade ’24
Samantha Wade, 5’10, Class of 2024 is from Chalfont, Pennsylvania.
Samantha has an eye for finding open players. She can get the ball off quick to her open teammates. Wade is a deadly shooter behind the arc. She has a quick release and can confidently shoot with a hand in her face. Samantha knows how to slash to the basket, finding herself easy shots around the rim. Adding to her repertoire, Wade is also not afraid to drive to the basket. Defensively, Samantha plays good on the ball defense, forcing turnovers which convert to fast break points.
Wade is a two year varsity starter for her high school. She maintains a 3.5 GPA at the high academic Germantown Academy.
