Kyaia White | Wing | 2025 | Russellville High School
Kyaia was the first player to catch my attention during the tournament. This wing player did a little bit of everything for her team. She rebounded, play tough defense, scored in transition, made plays for others, and could make the mid-range catch and shoot the jumper.
Makensie Moore | PG | 2026 | Maumelle High School
Makensie is a solid pg. She handled it well with both hands against pressure by displaying the ability to change speeds and directions. She could finish plays herself in traffic with her soft touch. In the half-court, McKenzie runs the team well and makes sure they are organized like a veteran point guard.
Bre West | Wing | 2025 | Maumelle High School
Bre was a terror on defense and in transition. She constantly harassed the offense with her on-ball defense and her anticipation while playing the passing lanes. This often leads to her getting easy baskets in transition. She showed she can finish with either hand and through contact.
Weslyn Burnside | Forward | 2025 | Green County Tech
Weslyn did a little bit of everything for her team. She can be physical and post up players on the low block or she can play with some finesse out on the perimeter. She handles the ball well enough to attack from the perimeter and get to the rim in a straight line drive and she can make the three-ball.
Alivia Cox | Wing | 2025 | Conway
Alivia started her game off by showing her range on her jumper. She got herself open by spotting up off penetration and hitting two quick spot-up three-pointers. She also showed she can put the ball on the floor and make the pull-up from the mid-range. Alivia also handled the ball well in transition and showed she can finish with her left hand.
Samyah Jordan | PG | 2025 | Conway
Samyah had her skills on full display. She showed her ability to slice through the opponent’s pressing defense with her quick ball-handling skills while making pinpoint passes to teammates for lay-ups. Samyah also showed she can score the ball also from three, in transition, in the lane in traffic with either hand.
