No. 8 || 6-1 W [player_tooltip player_id="188325" first="Sara" last="Lewis"] – Woodward Academy Up from No. 12 [player_tooltip player_id="188325" first="Sara" last="Lewis"] has transformed into a scorer. Lewis is a long wing with a great motor and nose for the ball. She can block shots and deflect passes at a high level but now she can make a similar impact on offense. She’s upped her scoring to 17.8 points per game to go with 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 3.4 steals and 1.2 blocks. Lewis’ biggest growth has come with her three-point shot. She’s improved from being an 18% shooter to hitting at a 40% clip. No. 9 || 5-7 PG [player_tooltip player_id="213334" first="Erica" last="Moon"] – St. Francis Up from No. 32 [player_tooltip player_id="213334" first="Erica" last="Moon"] has formed a dynamic backcourt with [player_tooltip player_id="118098" first="Mia" last="Moore"]. Once Moore graduates, expect Moon to produce even more. She’s an athletic guard that plays with toughness. She can get downhill and finish with euro steps. Moon is a very good three-point shooter and has proven to be a creative playmaker. No. 10 || 6-1 F [player_tooltip player_id="191048" first="Ariana" last="Dyson"] – Luella Up from No. 18 The mixture of size, strength, skill and quickness that Ari Dyson possesses is rare. She can play bully-ball on the low block and score around the rim with power, but she’s also fleet of foot, capable of going coast-to-coast and taking defenders off the dribble. Dyson is averaging 10.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. She could have a true breakout offseason and junior campaign. No. 15 || 6-0 W [player_tooltip player_id="191045" first="Olivia" last="Orsley"] – New Horizons Prep Up from No. 28 Orsley has size and strength on the perimeter. She moves like a guard but has the length of a post presence. Orsley can handle the ball and can slash from the perimeter. She’s got a very good looking outside shot. Olivia has the ability to guard 1-5. No. 18 || 6-1 W [player_tooltip player_id="154593" first="Veronica" last="Sierzant"] – Islands Up from No. 25 A two-sport standout that doubles as a volleyball star, [player_tooltip player_id="154593" first="Veronica" last="Sierzant"] has had a big sophomore season, using her versatility to her advantage. She’s averaging 15 points, 13.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.3 blocks. She has focused more on scoring inside the arc and her efficiency has improved. Her length and footspeed make her a valuable defender that can switch ball screens. No. 36 || 5-8 CG [player_tooltip player_id="213348" first="Anna" last="Conza"] – Walton Up from No. 42 The southpaw from New York is a very good shooter that can also put the ball on the floor and finish heading toward the hoop. She has euro steps and floaters in her arsenal. Conza can pull up from the mid-range when driving lanes close. She is a reliable ball handler and a gym rat. No. 52 || 5-9 PG [player_tooltip player_id="213475" first="Camryn" last="Berry"] – Luella Up from No. 63 Cam Berry has the length and athleticism to potentially grow into a very strong prospect. She loves the three-point shot. Berry can play either on or off the ball. She’s shown flashes of becoming a playmaker. I like her upside as a perimeter defender.
