Hannah is a dedicated and diligent student-athlete who is willing to sacrifice in order to achieve her goals.


She is an excellent student and is highly organized and professional.

 

Despite living away from home for the last two years to attend Trinity College, she has maintained an excellent GPA, outstanding basketball results and is a leader amongst her peers.

 

On court, she has played in the 3-5 spots. She has a very reliable mid-range which is progressing nicely to international 3-point range, and is very good rebounder and defender. As her ball-handling continues to develop I would project her as a small forward with a high up-side.


Given her drive and coachability, I would expect her to maximize her ability.

ELLA SAWYER (2019 Commit to Austin Peay State University in the Ohio Valley Conference)

5'9'' PG, Class of 2019 Commit

Committed October 2018

Introducing High Performance Hoops Networks latest prospect and female feature athlete elite 5’9” PG Ella Sawyer. Ella shows a remarkable leadership quality that in recent years has led to her appointment as CAPTAINING of South Australia’s State Metro team, leading them to back-to-back silver medals over the 2017-18 Australian National Junior Championship tournaments. Ella is a HIGH IQ pure PG in the traditionalist use of the term- she pushes the ball, organises and sets plays and finds open shooters. She is ‘hard-nosed’ and physically strong making her a tenacious defender. Ella would be a great asset to any program that is looking for a pure PG to help organise and lead a team and set up scores.
