With the new batch of 2022 rankings live on the site, many players have seen their ranking slide up. New players in rankings move some others down and some player's exceptional performances and/or improvement helps them to see a rise. The athletes highlighted below saw a lot of improvement in their ranking. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>2022 Rankings Top Risers</strong></span></h3> 5’11 Shooting Guard [player_tooltip player_id="154199" first="Kyra" last="Gardner"] of Raymond High School broke into the top five, after holding the number 11 slot. For a player to move from outside the top 10 to end up in the top five is very impressive. Gardner showed that her high school game performances were no fluke as she competed against high level competition during Spring and Summer and she consistently performed well. The athleticism and creativity at 5’11 is all there. WSU commit. 5’7 Combo Guard [player_tooltip player_id="257518" first="Libby" last="Stump"] from Lynden Christian High School played well enough on the circuit to earn herself an offer to Montana, where she ended up committing. Stump is a high IQ prospect with strength and shooting ability. Stump rose from number 36 to to 16th overall, making a huge jump. 5’9 Combo Guard [player_tooltip player_id="326009" first="Ella" last="Gallatin"] out of Snohomish High School splashed onto the scene announcing her commitment to Eastern Washington University. For those in the Wesco, she is not a new name however. Gallatin is crafty and has a knack for putting the ball in the hoop. She checks in at number 18 after previously flying under the radar. 5’10 Small Forward [player_tooltip player_id="27920" first="Jaiden" last="Bea"] from Washougal High School made one of the biggest jumps, sliding up 20 slots to number 21 overall. Bea is next in line to head to Idaho for her college basketball. She is tough, competitive and will bring high quality character to the Vandals. Bea has steadily worked on her game and deservedly moves up in the rankings. 6’0 Power Forward [player_tooltip player_id="185649" first="Parker" last="Brown"] out of Mead High School is a strong and athletic forward in the front court. Brown is a high energy prospect that is committed to Air Force for her college basketball. She played well at the Gonzaga Team Shootout this Summer when I saw her. Brown makes a massive jump from number 48 to number 22 overall in the latest update.
