The top twenty were covered in articles appearing December second and third. Player info for those ranked #21-#30 appeared Monday. In those previous articles I talked about rankings being about potential, especially for players just starting their high school careers. Most will most likely be seen on the floor at the JV through Freshman levels.
Enjoy this look at players ranked #31 – #40.

Houston | 2024
State
TN
, 5’1″, PG, Andover, Midwest United – Lipscomb handles well, has serious quicks, and sits in her chair well defensively. While she is a three point range, she will need to improve consistency with her perimeter shot Behind the back. Serious quicks. Must be a better shooter. Strong, quick defensive position.
#34 Lainie Douglas Lainie Douglas 6'2" | PF Blue Valley Northwest | 2024 State KS , 6’1″, PF, Blue Valley Northwest, Kansas United – Douglas’ stay outside of the top 20 will be brief. In the team’s season opening win over Lawrence she showed herself to be a threat around the basket with her face-up and back-to-basket games, a athletic rebounder, and a solid passer on the kick-out. Douglas also gets out, runs well, and sets herself up well for an interior feed. She did not need to show anything outside of the paint although she did take a couple mid-range jumpers. Douglas was a USJN Battle at the Border 15U pool O all-star in August.
#35 Madelyn Fellows Madelyn Fellows 5'7" | SG Maize South | 2024 KS , SG, Maize South, Wheat State Elite – Fellows is a real lanky guard that plays hard on the defensive end, uses her length well, and can shoot the ball.
