Class: 2016

Position: Guard

State: PA

Profile: Sabriya is a true point guard and a very crafty one at that. She knows the true meaning of being a point guard, getting everybody involved seems to be what she does best. Sabriya also can drop buckets anytime she wants, and when playing the two, she normally shoots lights out. At 5'0, Harris is also an excellent rebounder on both the offensive and defensive side.

When she's playing small forward Lesko has a disadvantage because of her size and her ability to shoot over smaller defenders, and when switching to the power forward spot, Stephaine seems to adjust very well with or without the ball.

     One on One Feat: Lauren Ross (Comets)

 Lauren Ross

One on One                                                                   

                                                                   

When G-Thing first saw Lauren play in the Super Regionals we knew that she would be a special player. With almost a triple double in that tournament and winning the championship, G-THING finally got a chance to holler at Lauren to ask her what makes her motor tick.

GT: What have you been doing since your AAU season ended?

LR: I've been working out with a high school team and doing some strength and conditioning for about 12 hours a week. I'm also in two summer leagues. I have been playing a lot of basketball.

GT: How was your experience at the Nationals?

LR: This was my second year competing in the 11U Nationals. It was fun. I had good time doing what I love.

GT: How do you feel about placing 8th in the nation for the 11U D1?

LR: I thought it was great. Next year we can work harder to make the championship.

GT: What part of your game do you think you need to work on to get better?

LR: I'm working on my shot. I'm trying to put up as many shots as I can with the trainer or in my driveway.

GT: Do you think it is a lot of pressure on you as a player since your father is a Division 1 coach?

LR: No, not at all. My dad helps me to really see the floor and anticipate what my opponent will do.

GT: Tell G-THING one thing to expect from Lauren Ross in the next AAU season?

LR: You can expect this defensive specialist to have an awesome jump shot.
