<ol start="15"> <li><strong> 6-2 F [player_tooltip player_id="118148" first="Jessie" last="Parish"] – Hebron Christian <em>(Up from 25)</em></strong></li> </ol> Wofford is getting a versatile forward that plays inside and out. The star swimmer is a physical specimen inside, capable of rebounding in a crowd and winning battles under the rim. Parish can score on the low block and has a very good three-point shot when given space. <ol start="23"> <li><strong> 5-5 PG [player_tooltip player_id="148901" first="Kehinde" last="Obasuyi"] – Carrollton <em>(Up from 31)</em></strong></li> </ol> Adversity has not slowed down [player_tooltip player_id="148901" first="Kehinde" last="Obasuyi"]. After tearing her ACL in the preseason of her sophomore season, Kehinde came back and was an integral piece to Carrollton’s state title trip as a junior. She was outstanding, scoring 13 points on 5-5 shooting before injuring her shoulder and missing a bulk of the second half. D-I programs have started to pop for Obasuyi. The lefty is lightning quick and can score at all three levels. When healthy, there aren’t many guards faster with the ball than Kehinde. <ol start="26"> <li><strong> 5-9 G [player_tooltip player_id="195843" first="Sydney" last="Bolden"] – Loganville <em>(Up from 39)</em></strong></li> </ol> The athleticism and versatility of [player_tooltip player_id="195843" first="Sydney" last="Bolden"] has caught the attention of D-I programs. Bolden has improved as a playmaker and shooter. She holds value as an active long-armed defender that covers ground. When Bolden stays aggressive, she’s tough to contain. <ol start="31"> <li><strong> 5-5 PG [player_tooltip player_id="253902" first="Kamryn" last="Bates"] – New Manchester <em>(Up from 86)</em></strong></li> </ol> [player_tooltip player_id="253902" first="Kamryn" last="Bates"] averaged 10.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.2 steals as New Manchester went 24-4. She parlayed her junior season success into a George Mason commitment. <ol start="39"> <li><strong> 5-10 F [player_tooltip player_id="186274" first="Kaylynn" last="Kirklen"] – Mt. Paran <em>(Up from 47)</em></strong></li> </ol> The high-low game of [player_tooltip player_id="118141" first="Kara" last="Dunn"] and [player_tooltip player_id="186274" first="Kaylynn" last="Kirklen"] was unstoppable at times last year. Watching the growth of Kirklen early in the spring, it looks like she’s ready to take another step forward. She’s got good size and has always been a reliable rebounder. Her versatility has grown over the years as she’s now comfortable handling the ball and going coast-to-coast. Kaylynn is able to attack off the dribble and can cause mismatches with her perimeter shot. <ol start="50"> <li><strong> 5-7 CG [player_tooltip player_id="210364" first="Jaci" last="Bolden"] – GAC <em>(Up from 58)</em></strong></li> </ol> Though they didn’t repeat as state champs, [player_tooltip player_id="210364" first="Jaci" last="Bolden"] stepped up for the Spartans. She handled the ball with more confidence and knocked down outside looks when teams focused in on [player_tooltip player_id="118145" first="Kaleigh" last="Addie"]. She averaged 15.4 points while hitting 35 threes and shooting 75% from the foul line. <ol start="54"> <li><strong> 5-7 CG [player_tooltip player_id="210308" first="Jakia" last="Little"] – Northeast-Macon <em>(Up from 69)</em></strong></li> </ol> An athletic scoring guard, [player_tooltip player_id="210308" first="Jakia" last="Little"] should be on collegiate radars with how easily she can create her own offense. Little gets downhill and uses eurosteps to avoid defenders. Her outside shot needs fine tuning, but she can hit when left open. She plays with great energy, impacting the game on both ends. Little tossed in 18.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 5 steals per game. <ol start="59"> <li><strong> 5-6 PG [player_tooltip player_id="253901" first="Laila" last="Battle"] – Campbell <em>(Up from 68)</em></strong></li> </ol> A high IQ guard that always makes the right decisions, [player_tooltip player_id="253901" first="Laila" last="Battle"] is tough as nails even though she may look unassuming at times. Battle is precise with her moves. She doesn’t waste time with long combo dribbles. If she’s planning to get past someone, she will make her move and get to her spots. Battle is a very good passer. She may not be as flashy as others in her class, but she implements the pocket pass extremely well. On defense, she anticipates well and moves her feet. She averaged 15.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.8 steals for Campbell.
