We want to offer up thoughts and highlight those players from each class and each grade level some publicity to try and help them gain the attention of a college coach or two.
As always, if there is someone you feel we missed and deserves recognition, reach out through any means available.
Callie Levin, Solon (2024)
Quick hands and a knack for putting the ball through the hoop make Callie Levin someone to watch over the second half of the season. The Solon freshman has already scored 148 points in eight games, adding 43 rebounds, 31 assists and 30 steals to go along with eight blocks.
Levin is shooting 49 percent from the floor, nearly 30 percent from the 3-point line and 79 percent at the charity stripe.
Ella Sharar, Iowa Falls-Alden (2024)
Just when the North Central Conference thought they were on the tail end of dealing with a “Sharar,” here comes freshman sensation Ella Sharar. The Iowa Falls-Alden swing player has made seven starts in seven games, picking up 88 points with 47 rebounds, 10 steals and six assists.
Sharar has great size and athleticism, which allows her to play well beyond her youth. She continues to show improvement from deep with each passing game, shooting almost 33 percent from the 3-point line.
Xada Johnson, Clear Lake (2024)
The Clear Lake pipeline adds another future prospect with Xada Johnson. The talented Class of 2024 post player has already scored 66 points with 46 rebounds, nine steals, five assists and a pair of blocks for the Lions.
Johnson is a force on the offensive glass, collecting 22 rebounds there to date.
Tory Henry, Clarke (2024)
The leading scorer for Clarke is freshman Tory Henry, who is averaging just under nine points per game. She is shooting 37 percent from the field and just over 33 percent from the 3-point line.
Henry has also been strong in terms of directing the offense, dishing out 13 assists in six games with 19 rebounds and nine steals.
Reagan Sorensen, Union Community (2024)
As she continues to grow and expand her game, it will be interesting to see just how impressive Reagan Sorensen from Union Community becomes. The talented Class of 2024 prospect has knocked down nine 3-pointers already this year, giving the Knights a second deep threat alongside Allie Driscol.
Sorensen has 54 points with 16 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals.
