Defensively she can create so much with active hands and forces mistakes from her opponents. She loves to play the game fast, able to score and finish in transition. Sees the floor very well, finds the open player and just shows natural command of the game. Great range, can score from anywhere. She moves up to #26 in the latest rankings. <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="217345" first="Ashley" last="Mullet"], 5-4 2024, Berlin Hiland</span></strong></span> This young lady can light it up from everywhere and is one of the purest three-point shooters in the region. She gets her shot off quickly and is accurate from all around the arc. Moves well without the ball, knows where to be in order to have the best options at the basket. Good handles, solid on-ball defender. Good basketball IQ and sees the floor well. Lands at #31 in the latest update. <em>(feature photo above)</em> <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="216011" first="Jordyn" last="Smoot"], 5-9 2024, Springfield Catholic Central</span></strong></span> Jordyn jumps a spot in the latest update and has gotten off to a very good start this season. In a recent three game stretch, Smoot averaged 13.5 points per game on a team with two other PGH ranked players, both seniors. Defensively she manages to guard the opponents top player and has raised the performance of her game. Currently sits at #32 in the 2024 rankings. <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="217337" first="Rylie" last="Homan"], 5-5 2024, Trenton Edgewood<img class="size-medium wp-image-325766 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/09/39-Rylie-Homan.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></span></strong></span> Rylie <em>(pictured right) </em>is the epitome of what a true point guard is supposed to do. I love her leadership and court awareness, being able to run the show and score when needed. She has a good head on her shoulders and a high basketball IQ. Does a nice job creating space and can score in transition or gets the ball to her open teammates. Has increased her stock and currently sits at #36 in the latest 2024 list of top players. <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="280600" first="Kara" last="Courtad"], 5-11 2024, Walsh Jesuit</span></strong></span> Long and athletic, Kara is capable of controlling the boards both offensively and on the defensive end. Has a nose for the ball, can snag the rebound and turn it into a transition chance for her team. Moves well with the ball, able to get to the rim and finishes well. Good body control, nice footwork to score in the paint. Smart player who knows where to be to get the most opportunities to contribute for her team. Moves up to #58 in the latest. &nbsp; &nbsp;
