Blakely gave A5 16-Stephen a reliable attacking option throughout one of Georgia’s strongest 16U performances. She brings confidence to the left pin and has the ability to score in both system and transition. Her willingness to take big swings while staying composed helped A5 maintain pressure against national-level opponents. Pin hitters who can carry offensive responsibility without becoming one-dimensional are extremely valuable, and Blakely showed that throughout the tournament.  ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga

Blakely demonstrates solid attacking mechanics and does a good job adjusting to the tempo of the offense. She keeps good shoulder positioning during contact and shows awareness of defensive gaps. Blakely also transitions quickly from defense into attack opportunities. Her composure on the outside supports offensive rhythm.  ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga

Blakely is one of the most promising young outsides in the 5A field. She swings with confidence, moves well laterally, and has shown she can finish rallies against tough blocks. River Ridge’s postseason success could hinge on her ability to provide consistent scoring.~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast
