Freshman guard Lainie Makris brings coachable, high-IQ backcourt energy to Southern Wesleyan
Makris enters Southern Wesleyan as a 5'8" freshman guard from Ashley Ridge High School, where her game was built on playmaking, defense, and steady winning habits; her school profile lists her as a region champion all four high-school seasons, with freshman-year averages of 10 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals per game, plus 12 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals as a sophomore. She was also singled out as “Best Teammate” and “Most Coachable,” which fits the vibe: a competitive, team-first guard who adds pressure defense, unselfish creation, and a growth-minded approach rather than empty stat-chasing.
