PGH Ohio Division 1 All-Ohio 1st-Team
KK Bransford KK Bransford 5'11" | PG Mount Notre Dame | 2022 State #6 Nation OH , 5-11 2022, Mount Notre Dame
She is the reigning Ms Basketball winner from the OPSWA, and I would expect her to repeat that honor. KK (feature photo above) is such an explosive player with speed and physicality. She averaged 21.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists while shooting 46% from the field and 71% from the line. Can beat you inside or out, finished her career with over 2,000 career points and is headed to Notre Dame.
Chance Gray Chance Gray 5'9" | PG Winton Woods | 2022 State #40 Nation OH , 5-9 2022, Winton Woods
Finished the season with a 26.7 points per game average, but she can do so much more. Very tireless worker and aways working on her craft. Can score from well behind the arc, or put the ball on the floor and get to the rim. Long and athletic defender, able to make plays. She was named Gatorade POY in Ohio, and is headed to Oregon.

Imarianah Russell Imarianah Russell 5'11" | SF Reynoldsburg | 2022 State #75 Nation OH , 5-11 2022, Reynoldsburg
Strong, physical player who is taking her game to West Virginia next season. She is having a very solid senior season and led her team to the state Final Four in Dayton this weekend. Tough to handle around the rim, can run the floor well in transition and can score from inside-out. Solid handles and can find her teammates. The best D1 player in Central Ohio. (pictured right)
Lanae Riley Lanae Riley 5'11" | C Akron Hoban | 2022 State OH , 5-11 2022, Akron Hoban
She was the key to the success of Hoban, who fell short in the regionals. Such a strong physical kid in the post, she is tough to handle around the rim. Excellent passer and can find her teammates in transition. One of the most focused kids you will find, always looking to make her team better. (pictured left)
Sinai Douglas Sinai Douglas 5'7" | PG Toledo Start | 2024 State OH , 5-7 2024, Toledo Start
As the name indicates, this is just the “start” for Sinai (pictured right) as she looks to cement her name among the best to play in Ohio. She is well on her way as she was ranked #3 in her class in the December update with another coming this month, She has such quick hands and causes turnovers, she is a nightmare for her opponents on the ball. Very active hands. Much more to her game than scoring, she is the complete package. Was the NW District POY for D1.
