Savvy Swords is the star of the #1-ranked high school girls' basketball team in the country, Long Island Lutheran. @savvyswords @luhigirlsbasketball

[SkinsHoops86 @SkinsHoops86]

"Only a year into her collegiate career, Swords already carries the poise and workload of a veteran — and on a team seeking to define its identity once more, she may be the hand needed to guide it."

Nice read on Syla Swords, was one of the top freshmen in #ncaaw last year.
