In 2020, players like 2021’s Lindsey Weingard Lindsey Weingard 5'6" | PG Dr Krop | 2021 State FL , Zaida Gonzalez Zaida Gonzalez 5'9" | CG Palm Beach Lakes | 2021 State FL , Emma Wallhoff Emma Wallhoff 5'10" | CG Westminster | 2021 State FL and Jahnae Midget Jahnae Midget 5'11" | SF Seminole Ridge | 2021 State FL finished near the top. For what it’s worth, I think averaging around 25 points per game will give you a good chance.
Who will it be this season?
Let’s make some picks…
Aly Avrach Aly Avrach 5'8" | CG Spanish River | 2022 State FL – Spanish River
Aly Avrach Aly Avrach 5'8" | CG Spanish River | 2022 State FL should be near the top as a senior after averaging 21.5 points per game. Her mark was good for 17th in the state. Avrach shot 42 percent from field and 40 percent from beyond the arc. In addition, she shot a smooth 79 percent from the free throw line. Any uptick in those numbers should have her close to 25 points per game. Avrach can put down a handful of high outputs with how she shoots the ball.
Joey Delancy Joey Delancy 5'8" | CG American Heritage | 2022 State FL – American Heritage
I can guarantee that 2022 Joey Delancy Joey Delancy 5'8" | CG American Heritage | 2022 State FL will average more than 11.5 points per game during her senior season. For one, she can score from multiple (2,3,4) positions. Delancy is a great outside shooter from anywhere on the court. You also have a scoring void with 2022 Sydney Shaw Sydney Shaw 5'9" | SG DME Academy | 2022 State FL going to DME Academy. Add in her rebounding ability and Delancy can put up points. I expect her to have a monster senior season.
Alancia Ramsey Alancia Ramsey 6'0" | PF St Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL – St. Thomas Aquinas (Previous: American Heritage Delray)
2023 Alancia Ramsey Alancia Ramsey 6'0" | PF St Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL is one of the best frontcourt players we have in South Florida. The 6-foot-1 Ramsey is a double-double powerhouse around the post. In addition, she runs the floor well for a forward. I expect her to average 20+ points and 13+ rebounds with her new team. Ramsey finished 32nd in the state in scoring as a sophomore. She holds an offer from George Washington.
Cameron Araujo Cameron Araujo 5'8" | SG Miami Senior | 2022 State FL – Miami High
A transfer from Miami Southwest, Araujo averaged nearly 20 points per game as a junior. The 5-foot-8 shooting guard eclipsed that mark in nine of 15 contests. You know she’s going to be in the running with her consistent scoring ability.
Taja Stephens Taja Stephens 5'8" | CG Western | 2022 State FL – Western
2022 Taja Stephens Taja Stephens 5'8" | CG Western | 2022 State FL averaged 13 points per game as a sophomore and 17.8 points per game as a junior. She also saw her rebounding margin go from four to eight per contest. Is it safe to assume she averages 20 points and close to ten rebounds per game? Her shooting percentages continue to get better as well. I am going with yes.
Vanessa Richard Vanessa Richard 5'11" | SF Atlantic HS | 2022 State FL – Atlantic
2022 Vanessa Richard Vanessa Richard 5'11" | SF Atlantic HS | 2022 State FL had a great junior season for the Eagles. The 5-foot-11 power forward nearly doubled her scoring average from the season prior. After posting 18.6 points and 11.6 rebounds per contest, Richards should be in the fold. She’s an All-county performer.
Karina Gordon Karina Gordon 5'8" | CG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL – St. Thomas Aquinas
2023 Karina Gordon Karina Gordon 5'8" | CG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State FL is a tremendous player for the Raiders. The 5-foot-8 guard averaged 16.4 points per game across 19 contests. She is very quick with the ball in her hands and can score relentlessly at the rim. Put her in the fold on one of the best teams in the area. She holds offers from Florida Atlantic and Florida International.
