Building on the huge amount of work I put in this offseason - in the weight room and on the court. Make both All Catholic League 1st Team and All State as a sophomore." - Samantha Fuhs

LONG TERM BASKETBALL GOALS:

"To play high level college basketball and find the right "fit" - academically, athletically, team chemistry wise and an overall environment with stability. But also challenging to make me a better person and player. Open to all levels - just about the right fit I'm interested in studies or a degree that involves studying the brain and potentially business as well." - Samantha Fuhs

NOTES:

Samantha Fuhs was a player that I scouted, and stood out to me, very early in her high school career. I liked her ability to defend, and I still do. She guarded all over the floor and could even make defensive plays from behind the action. She's now even more versatile in that area of her game. Fuhs has expanded her offensive skill set and is a threat to shoot and score from all over the floor. She has all the tools needed to have a very bright future at the next level.
