The Dynamic Duo. The Heartbeat of Bunker Hill. Senior year means something different when you’ve put in the work, taken the hits, and stayed committed to building something bigger than yourself. For Hayley Spriggle and Eliana McClain, this season isn’t just about closing a chapter; it’s about leaving a legacy. As the dynamic duo for the Bunker Hill Bears, the two seniors are stepping into their final run with purpose, confidence, and a belief that this team can do something special. For the first time in years, Bunker Hill enters the season with eyes locked on making a deep playoff push, and Hayley and Eliana are leading that charge. Their chemistry, toughness, and leadership set the tone every time they step on the floor. They’ve embraced the grind, carried the expectations, and now they’re ready to turn years of work into postseason results. With their senior season here, the mission is simple: compete at a high level, lead from the front, and help bring Bunker Hill back into the playoff conversation in a major way. This is more than a final season. This is their moment. And the Bears are ready to bear down.

READY OR NOT. THE NEXT WAVE IS HERE…. They spent the summer battling some of the best competition on the circuit. Different cities. Different matchups. Different challenges. Same mission: GET BETTER. Now the lights get brighter, the expectations get higher, and a new chapter begins. Adelyn Egbert. Callia Loritts. Maggie Mace. Nevaeh White. Willa Riner. Lailah Gore. Six freshmen. Six different journeys. One shared foundation: TEAM HICKORY. The summer circuit tested their toughness, sharpened their skills, and showed them what it takes to compete at a high level. Every possession, every battle, every lesson was preparation for this moment. Now they’re trading summer tournaments for Friday night crowds, varsity ambitions, and the opportunity to make their mark at their respective high schools. They’re young. They’re hungry. And they’re walking into their freshman seasons with something to prove. The next four years start NOW. READY OR NOT? THEY ARE.

QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE. HER LEGACY IS FOREVER. Some players wear the jersey. Others make it legendary. Jessica Bailey enters her final season at Fred T. Foard with more than a name to uphold, she has a legacy to cement. The confidence. The presence. The GAME. Already establishing herself among the greatest to ever wear a Tigers uniform, Bailey has one final chapter to write. And if her journey has taught us anything, she’s not finished making history. One last ride. One lasting legacy. The Queen of the Jungle.

Class of 2029 Team Hickory (NC) Laila Smith forces turnovers when guarding the perimeter, rebounds, isn’t phased by bumps when scoring at the rim, can hit shots, physical, brings effort you never have to question, unselfish & understands what it takes to win.

5’10” 2027 Sanai Corpening (McDowell) has a versatile array of weapons on the offensive end. Never sped up, deep range on her jumper, and her eyes are always up looking to make a play. #LadyTop80

5’6” 2028 Jakyra Sadler (Gaston Christian) is touching the paint with regularity, getting to the line in the process, and is constantly looking to make plays for others off her drives. Quick and aggressive lead guard. #LadyTop80

2027 Lanie Dameron brings a well-balanced feel on the court. Moves well without the ball, finds the open spots, finishes well around the basket, and just finds ways to bring production to the court for her team. #LadyTop80

2031 Alayla Beam will be a guard to watch down the road as she continues to develop. Strong and scrappy in her ability to breakdown defenders but also displays strong range at an early age. #LadyTop80

6’0” 2027 Lanie Dameron (McDowell) has been a key interior presence for her team thus far today. Rebounding well, catching and finishing in traffic with consistency. #LadyTop80

5’4” 2028 Shemia McCoy (Hunter Huss) has been scoring from multiple levels with consistency. Quick first step and outside touch makes her tough to contain. #LadyTop80

2030 Ava Beam (Walter Johnson): Tough, gritty guard who impacts winning beyond the box score. Shows a strong feel for the game, applies full-court defensive pressure, and consistently makes extra-effort plays. Can heat up from deep and provide a spark offensively. #LadyTop80

2028 Jakyra Sadler proved to be a weapon from behind the arc, hitting multiple 3's with strong range, finding open spots, and being able to create effectively off the bounce. #LadyTop80
