Elois Moore-5’9” Forward, All Arkansas Red 2026 Chester, Episcopal Collegiate-Little Rock-Elois is a very athletic and talented player. Her footwork, specifically on defense is outstanding. She can play all positions. Probably strongest as a power forward because she is physically stronger than most of her peers. If she can sharpen her intensity for a full 32 minutes, Elois could get some quality playing time on her high school varsity team as a freshman next school year.
Cydney Sanders-5’8” Guard, All Arkansas Red 2026 Chester, Episcopal Collegiate-Little Rock-Cydney is the classic point guard. She touches the ball on every possession. She is very quick with both hands. Cydney’s strength is her speed and agility to get out on the fast break and either finish or feed her teammates for the open shot. If she can get a little stronger, her talents will land her at the varsity level next season.
Makenzie Jackson-5’6” Forward, HWD 2025, Parkview-Little Rock-Mackenzie is very strong going to the basket. She knows how to create space for a high percentage shot. Her strength is in the paint. When she receives the ball on the right side block she is very hard to stop. Her strength is down low and if she can hit that 10-foot jumper and learn how to block out defensively, she can secure a spot on the varsity squad.
Mackensie Moore-5’8” Guard, All Arkansas Red 2026 Chester, Baptist Prep-Little Rock-Mackensie likes to play facing the basket. She can play all of the guard positions. She can successfully catch and shoot the 3 ball. Mackensie can switch hands going left or right so she is very difficult to guard. She looks to score. Her defensive footwork is excellent and anticipates very well. If she plays with confidence she can definitely find a spot on the varsity squad next school year.
Lauren Brewster-5’6” Point Guard, All Arkansas Red 2027 Williams, Pulaski Heights-Little Rock- Lauren has excellent ball-handling skills. She dribbles like the ball is a part of her body. Her touches-to-turnover ratio is very good. She identifies the double-team and can get out of trouble quickly. Very successful in leading the fast-break and can penetrate or dish depending on the situation. An excellent free-throw shooter, she can also steal a rebound or two in a game. If she keeps competing at the older level her skills will only get better. Look for Lauren to make a huge impact when she gets to high school.
Maranda Emerson-5’6” Guard, All Arkansas Red 2026 Chester, Watson Chapel-Pine Bluff-Maranda can play all of the guard positions at a high level. Speed is her strength out on the fast-break. Because of her multi-position talent, Maranda is very valuable to her team. Solid on defense. On offense she rotates around the arc and can catch and shoot the mid-range jumper. If she can get stronger, she has an excellent opportunity to play varsity ball next school year.
