Whereas, Andrew Jackson's Tamia Watkins dominated the game and posted gigantic double-double leads for the Lady Volunteers with 26 points and 19 rebounds. The 6-foot-1 junior center was named the 2023-2024 South Carolina Class AA Player of the Year; and

 

Whereas, Lady Volunteer Ayona Alexander scored 20 points and had 8 rebounds while teammates Ni'yonna Asbelle added 19 points and Kaylee Cortez added 12; and
