Ashlyn Watkins rose up and slammed home a solid one-handed jam during the Hoopology basketball camp at

The towering 6-foot-2 center is also just 13 years old, according to coach Daryl Jarvis. Watkins averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds and three assists per game for the
Cardinal Newman (Columbia, S.C.) middle school squad last season.
Jarvis said her ceiling is quite high.
"Ashlyn can get the ball off the rim and go coast-to-coast with it," Jarvis said. "She has a bright future and is a true student of the game."
