Navy’s steady backcourt spark with a defensive edge
LaTesha Ford profiles as a tough, bench-energizing guard for Navy rather than a high-volume scorer; in the 2003-04 season, she was praised as a “recent spark off the bench,” and in one career-best 15-minute outing she posted 4 points, 3 assists and just 1 turnover. Navy’s own notes also highlighted her ability to generate steals and handle the ball with poise, which points to a connector guard who can raise the pace and keep the offense organized. If a team wants a scrappy, unselfish guard who competes hard and can steady the floor, Ford fits the bill.
