Coach
Middleton Says
Jen was one of the top players in Florida last year and will
help Jenny Miller out at the point guard spot. She is just
a very sound, fundamental player and does everything well.
She plays fundamental defense, she passes well, she sees the
floor well, she’s a very good shooter, and just understands
the game. She is very smart. What may be her best asset is
how ‘basketball smart’ she is on the court.
