Mahogany Cottingham Mahogany Cottingham 5'9" | CG Trinity | 2023 State OH , 5’8 Parma
Cottingham is a point guard who simply scores at will. She has one of the prettiest jump-shots in the Class of 2023. Mahogany shoots the ball from 3 at an impressive clip. What makes her even more deadly is that she doesn’t need much room to get her shot off and she has long range and a high release. She is an active defender, constantly getting hands on passing and creating turnovers in full-court and half-court pressure situations.
Paige Kohler Paige Kohler 5'8" | PG Olmsted Falls | 2023 State OH , 5’6 Olmsted Falls
Kohler is able to play both guard positions, making plays with the ball in her hands and also serving as a primary scoring threat off of the ball. She has an impressive step-back game, able to create space and connect from behind the arc and also in the mid-range going in either direction. Kohler has outstanding instincts and does a nice job of blending those instincts with solid athleticism to make plays.
Nora Levy Nora Levy 5'6" | PG Wooster | 2023 State OH , 5’6 Wooster
Levy possesses the game of a classic gym rat. She is an ideal lead guard, leading her Wooster Generals team to another outstanding season. Nora is highly skilled – showing the ability to score from all three levels, off of the dribble or from catch-and-shoot opportunities. She is a great passer, with impressive court vision. She also takes care of the ball and rarely throws it away, getting her teammates to the right spots to make plays.
Carter McCray Carter McCray 6'1" | PF Elyria Catholic | 2023 OH , 6’1 Lake Ridge Academy
McCray was absolutely dominant during her freshman season at Lake Ridge Academy. She averaged a double-double and also blocked a handful of shots each time that she took the court. McCray didn’t necessarily play the best schedule during the season, but she showed more than enough to establish herself as one of the top ’23 forwards in the state of Ohio. Carter runs the floor well and finishes in transition.
Gia Casalinova Gia Casalinova 5'7" | CG Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy | 2023 State OH , 5’7 Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy
Casalinova is another outstanding freshman from Northeast Ohio. She is constantly putting pressure on opponents – on both ends of the floor. Defensively, Gia plays the passing lanes well – rotating from helpside and identifying plays before they happen. Offensively, she gets to the foul line at a high rate – getting into the paint and drawing multiple defenders. She is at her best off of the bounce.
