2024 Jerin Truesdale (Myers Park): Truesdale was the leader for this team on Day 1, being a strong offensive presence offensively, making an impact in a variety of ways, being a playmaker as well as an offensive threat. I really like her IQ and her ability to lead the charge in an impressive showing to start the day.
