2024 Stockrisers and Newcomers in Summer Rankings

The West Virginia rankings have been posted, let's take a look at some of the movers and shakers along with newcomers in the list of 55: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="379498" first="Ashlynn" last="VanTassell"] Cameron, C, 6-3 (Went from 11 to 2)</strong> - VanTassell made the <img class=" wp-image-397929 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/03/Ashlynn-Van-Tassell-239x300.jpg" alt="" width="183" height="230" />climb to No. 2 based on her play not only during the high school season but on the early tournaments of the AAU season, too. It's true. Thanks to increased competition, she's become even more of an unstoppable force in the pain with her post moves that beat most players, unrivaled strength, and a nose for rebounding the basketball that many just can't match. In addition, she plays well with another big on the floor and makes her free throws. She can't help that she isn't No. 1 on this list. She's in the position she needs to be playing. [player_tooltip player_id="379495" first="Finley" last="Lohan"] takes the top spot because she can guard all five positions, play four of them, scores inside and outside, and can handle the basketball - or things VanTassell, given her build, likely won't be asked to do at the college level. Having said that about Lohan, any player simply being in the top 5 of this list or the freshman list is a major achievement, as is VanTassell's remarkable continued development. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="379504" first="Haleigh" last="Crum"], Spring Valley, SF, 5-9 (Went from 24 to 14)</strong> - Crum isn't flashy when she's on the floor, but she's consistent. Using her quickness and long and lanky body, Crum is getting baskets when she wants to thanks to new energy and tall confidence. She's using screens, but also giving defenders the slip and calling for the ball in opportune positions. It's the last thing teams in the Mountain State Athletic Conference probably want to hear, but her growing game compliments teammates <span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="384100" first="Dria" last="Parker"]</span><span class="info-box"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/dria-parker/"><span class="player-img"><img class=" ls-is-cached lazyloaded" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/user-uploads/75021166-36F8-428A-B385-2E9F7A238FA8-150x150.jpeg" data-src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/user-uploads/75021166-36F8-428A-B385-2E9F7A238FA8-150x150.jpeg" /></span></a></span></span> and <span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="384101" first="Allie" last="Daniels"]</span><span class="info-box"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/allie-daniels/"><span class="player-img"><img class=" ls-is-cached lazyloaded" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/user-uploads/AE6A422C-5D3E-43E8-8192-D6DD9AF3F8F0-150x150.jpeg" data-src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/user-uploads/AE6A422C-5D3E-43E8-8192-D6DD9AF3F8F0-150x150.jpeg" /></span></a></span></span>, well. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="379507" first="Gracie" last="Shamblin"], Parkersburg South, SG, 5-10 (Went from 26 to 11)</strong> - There are very few better pure scorers in the class then Shamblin. In fact, most of them on this list are above her. What makes Shamblin so dangerous and what catapulted her up this list is her consistency from the 3-point line and feel for the big moment. She displayed both in a sectional championship win over PHS on the Big Reds' home floor. She hit eight treys and scored 33 points in the victory. She hit shots from all around the arc. Yet, her trifecta feel stands as one small part of her game. Another big area she's shown upgrades in over the summer is her ability to score from elsewhere on the floor. She's become more comfortable inside the arc, and hits those 14 to 15 foot jumpers more consistently, which of course makes any guard more deadly. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="391467" first="Breanna" last="Price"], St. Marys, SF, 5-8 (Went from Unranked to 17)</strong> - Price's late bloom for St. Marys provided the catalyst for her propulsion on this list from unranked into the Top 20. Starting with Webster County and into the state tournament, Price made herself an indispensable part of what Fred King and the Blue Devils will be all about in the next few years. Sure, there may be a few setbacks. However, she carried a great level of intelligence into every contest. She knows how to get her teammates involved. She loves scoring and putting on a show. Putting it all together makes for one special young lady. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="410463" first="Kennedy" last="Schilling"], Winfield, PF, 6-0 (Went from Unranked to 18)</strong> - Ah, [player_tooltip player_id="410463" first="Kennedy" last="Schilling"]. Good at scoring and rebounding. Especially good at it in a very, very short amount of time. Schilling made her presence known on the boards and at the rim. She scored 7.4 points and pulled down 6.3 rebounds per game with limited playing time this season. Translate that over the course of an entire game and you get numbers closer to 14 points and 12 boards, not too shabby. The best part of Schilling is her all-or-nothing attitude. No one will outwork her on the block. She's making sure of that. Her build lends itself perfectly to a post player. And being a sophomore, she's only going to grow and will see more playing time. With the graduation of Kennedy Dean, she's going to receive a fair increase in playing time at the five position next season as Winfield competes in what will be a gauntlet of a Class AAA Region IV. <strong>NEWCOMERS</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="391467" first="Breanna" last="Price"], St. Marys; [player_tooltip player_id="410463" first="Kennedy" last="Schilling"], Winfield; [player_tooltip player_id="391470" first="Josie" last="Graves"], Cabell Midland; [player_tooltip player_id="434594" first="Jocelynn" last="Thorn"], Parkersburg Catholic; [player_tooltip player_id="410464" first="Antonela" last="Johnson"], Winfield; [player_tooltip player_id="391465" first="Maddy" last="Young"], Hurricane; [player_tooltip player_id="440713" first="Tarayn" last="Myers"], East Fairmont; [player_tooltip player_id="410462" first="Kaitlyn" last="Sayre"], Winfield; [player_tooltip player_id="391466" first="Jaden" last="Mahon"], Chapmanville; [player_tooltip player_id="391468" first="Kenna" last="Maxwell"], Buckhannon-Upshur; [player_tooltip player_id="391471" first="Olivia" last="VanDevender"], Pocahontas County &nbsp;
