Bella Cates gives Hendrix a steady senior guard who can stretch the floor
In the 2024-25 season, Bella Cates averaged 6.1 points, 2.1 assists, and 1.4 rebounds in 27 games with 26 starts for Hendrix, then capped her season with 12 points and three 3-pointers in the SCAC title game; her value is the combo of senior steadiness, perimeter shooting, and playmaking from a 5-5 guard who has shown she can handle real minutes and big moments. She looks like a reliable connective piece for a team that wants a tough, experienced guard who won’t need the ball to impact the game.
