Palm Beach Lakes junior
Position: Guard; Height: 5-8
Statistics: 20.7 points per game, 9.1 rebounds per game, 3.2 assists per game
Season highlights: 40-point performance against Fort Pierce Westwood; two District 15-5A tournament wins against higher seeds.
Of note: Rams started 2-9 (without Hall for seven of those games due to various injuries), but won 10 of 13 games with her back in lineup
Athlete's comment: "It was hard not playing because I wanted to so badly. We didn't have a lot of trust in each other and were being too dependent upon Shanovia [Dove] and myself. In order to win, I knew we had to come together as a team. And, becoming a better leader was something that I had to do."
Coach's comment: "She just left opposing teams in devastation. Her ability to not only come back from injuries [calf, torn ligament in elbow], but to know when to take over with all the pressure on her was just impressive. You can't teach that." - Cassandra Rahming
