Davis excelled in the classroom, earning honor roll all four years.
 
From Coach Trina Patterson  
 
"Joelle is an outstanding three-point shooter.  She has great size and length; and we believe that not only will she be able to add value with her shooting, but also, she will be able to defend and rebound."

Boyle also helped her team become State Champions in 2019 and 2022, while also being a McDonald's All-American nominee in 2023.  
 
Boyle shined on and off the court, as she was a member of the National Honor Society and the National Society of High School Scholars.  
 
From Coach Trina Patterson  
 
"Kelly is a proven scorer at the highest high school level and is an outstanding three-point shooter who will play the combo guard position. Kelly is a competitor, a winner, a great decision maker, and a leader."
