Top Freshman: Kendall Kane Kendall Kane 6'0" | SF Beachside | 2025 State FL , 6’0” CG (Bartram) had an amazing year for a Freshman and continued to get better as the season progressed.

Kane took on primary ball-handling duties and press break duties. She scored over 222 points for the year and 129 of the points came from behind the 3-point line as Kane was not shy of shooting from behind the arc. Kane connected on 43 three-pointers for the season. Jadynn Spivey Jadynn Spivey 5'9" | SG Creekside | 2025 State FL , 5’9” G (Creekside) had a nice freshman season and was a close second behind Kane.
