01 Feb 2025 Samyah Jordan – Conway (501 Basketball Team 2025)

Conway Lady Cats senior guard Samyah Jordan is the epitome of leadership, both on and off the basketball court. Known for her exceptional point guard skills, she is a true playmaker.

“Samyah is a great point guard,” Conway Lady Cats Head Coach Ashley Hutchcraft said. “She has the ability to handle the ball and make plays under pressure. She is a great finisher around the rim but can also make big plays behind the arc. She has great work ethic and comes in every day with the same mentality and consistency it takes to be great.”

Jordan’s leadership extends beyond her on-court abilities. A consistent 4.0 student and active volunteer, she is always ready to lend a helping hand. “Samyah is always eager to help volunteer when opportunities come available,” Hutchcraft said. “She has a servant’s heart.”

Having already achieved considerable success, including a 2023 state championship and 2024 state championship runner-up, Jordan is determined to lead her team to another title this season. 

“Our team goal is to win another state championship,” she said. “We will achieve this by staying consistent and continuing to work hard every day in practice.”

Her leadership shines through during critical moments, like in last year’s semifinals against Cabot when she helped seal the win with a dominant performance in the final minutes.

Looking ahead, Jordan is focused on playing at the collegiate level while pursuing a business management degree. She has offers from Three Rivers and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
