Kennedy Younkin Kennedy Younkin 6'1" | PF Teays Valley | 2024 State OH – 6’1, C, 2024, Teays Valley: Kennedy has a very promising future! At a young age, she certainly feels comfortable playing with and against upperclassmen, and continues to grow with her skills! Her size and athleticism gives great advantages in rebounding, scoring on the block, as well as mid range jumpers. She’s got quickness, and is a threat to anyone coming inside the paint, with the ability to block and deny passes coming in. Tough player, with so much potential!
Hadley Hajdu Hadley Hajdu 5'8" | SG Revere | 2024 State OH – 5’8, G, 2024, Teays Valley: Alyssa can shoot any shot, from any position on the court! She can drain 3’s all day long, with no hesitation! Has a beautiful quick release. Her ability to shoot beyond the 3 point arc stretches the defense, which opens the floor for the team. High basketball IQ, with confidence, and the ability to create shots for her teammates. Handles the ball well, and solid defender. Stay on the lookout for her!
Mackenzie Royal- Davis: 5’11, F/G, 2024, Toledo Christian: Mackenzie has such a strong inside presence, where she can dominate the boards, create space with boxing out, and make easy put backs for her team. Not afraid to shoot the outside shots either- she’s a scoring threat everywhere! Defensively can change opponents shots with her blocking ability. She’s definitely a player to watch out for!
Ashley Mullet Ashley Mullet 5'4" | PG Berlin Hiland | 2024 State OH – 5’4, G, 2024, Hiland: Ashley is a player who gets the game, and has a natural feel for where to be on the court, who to pass the ball to, knows how to get open, and makes smart choices! She sees the floor so well, pushes the ball with her quick baseball passes, or can take it coast to coast! Her speed is a big bonus, which makes her difficult to guard. Defensively strong, can pick pockets. Can shoot the ball, penetrate, and dish. She can play!
Journey Hildebrand- 5’10, F, 2024, Brunswick: Hildebrand brings a lot to the table for Brunswick. She is so versatile and smooth, and with her size, can hurt you inside or outside. Outstanding 3 point shooter, and beautiful moves inside. Her long frame, in addition to her athleticism, makes it difficult for teams to guard her. Can rebound the ball, plays well defensively with her quick active hands, and great decision maker on transition.
