a 5-10 guard/forward from Saluda, S.C., currently plays for
King Academy and head coach Joey Long. For her high school career, Blease is averaging 19.3 ppg,
9.1 rpg, and 2.6 apg and is the school’s record holder for
points and rebounds in a game and in a season. She has been
SCISA single A Player of the Year in 2003 and 2004 and has led
