Lana won a top performer award at our Prep Dig showcase. She impressed with how hard her 6’0″ frame can put the ball to the floor, first when she played at Junior Nationals in Las Vegas and then at the Prep Dig showcase. Her skill level earned a ranking in the top 100. As sometimes happens with a Maryland profile in a Virginia ranking her name dropped out of the rankings as it looked for a Maryland ranking to reside in. She will return to the rankings when they get updated sometime in December.

Holton-Arms won the A conference in the ISL defeating St. Andrews Episcopal in five. That means they will rise to the Class AA level next year. They only have Bullis to look at as an example for success. Four or five years ago the Bulldogs won the A conference to move up to AA. Now they are the champs in AA.

Lana stood out at the Patriot Division in Junior Nationals to appear at 102 in our rankings. She also appeared at our showcase where she earned a top performer award. At both events she shows no fear at taking hard swings at the ball.

Holton-Arms plays in the Independent Schools League with Flint Hill, Bullis and Georgetown Day. They play in the lower level “A” League so they do not really compete against the higher level AA teams. For Lana she should dominate at the “A” level.

To improve her game to rise higher in the rankings she will need to up the competition level. Contributing to a Holton-Arms “A” level championship would be a start.
