Hardaway (23-9; Runner-Up)

With just one senior graduating, the Hawks were set to run it back for another deep tournament run albeit in a bigger and much tougher classification, but star forward Rhianna Boynton once again tore her ACL and will be missing her senior season after returning late in the year last season from the same injury to lead the Hawks to Macon averaging 17 points and 12.6 rebounds. The frontcourt will now be anchored by 5-foot-10 sophomore Amerria Crowley (11.1 ppg, 6 rpg, 1.4 spg) and 5-foot-10 junior Marlana White (10.3 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 1.8 spg, 1 bpg). An undersized backcourt has veterans in seniors 5-foot-2 Jaylah Todd (9.5 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 4.7 apg, 4.3 spg) and 5-foot-4 Nicole Baldwin (9.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.6 apg, 2.7 spg). The Hawks should have enough to clinch the two-seed out of Region 1 if they are unable to knock off Monroe and from there, will have to wait and see how the PSR shakes out for their state tournament draw.
