Gatorade Players Of the Year 2015

Myah Taylor - Olive Branch HS (MS)
2017 5'7 PG

#5 Myah Taylor the 2017 point guard of Olive Branch HS in Mississippi recently received crowning recognition on top of the many accolades she has already received this season.  Myah, being nationally recruited with more than 20 offers as a sophomore, was announced as the Gatorade Player of the Year - Mississippi for girls' basketball.

Having a stellar season (18 ppg; 8 apg) and leading her team to a 31-2 record and a runner up spot in this year's 6A state final may be the credentials which allowed Myah to be garnished with the honor; however, after speaking with her father, John, other factors may have assisted in obtaining this achievement.

"She stays in the gym.  She is a gym rat.  When she is not practicing, she is working with her trainer."  John Taylor, Myah's dad told the Delta Report March 12, 2015, the day the award was announced.

The Delta Report list Myah as the top rated point guard in the 2017 class on its report.  Her most attractive attribute is her ability to run a team.  She has a high basketball IQ to accompany this attribute.  In state schools like, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Southern Miss are all seeking her talents.  Out of state schools such as Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgetown, Memphis, and Wichita State would also like to see her in their colors as well.
