It’s just that she didn’t have much of an opportunity to show them off when the winter rankings came out. She played for a team with three all-state players and a veteran starting lineup, so yeah … Now that we are in the summer, she’s shown what she can do – and there’s a lot to like. For starters, her experience with an older Highlander group has made her more aware of the possibilities and given her a unique perspective on the floor. She’s calm and collected with a slasher’s ability combined with a shooter’s touch. Drop her into any situation and she adapts quickly.
Jaycee Elzy Jaycee Elzy 5'11" | C St. Albans | 2025 State WV , St. Albans, PF, 5-11 – I love this way the kid plays basketball. Blessed with height, a post-game, and a gift to hit the outside shot, Elzy’s one of the biggest sleepers in the class. St. Albans and her will continue to make noise, as she brings her weapons to the forefront in another loaded MSAC conference. She’ll help the Red Dragons do well with her smart playmaking in transition and ability to handle the ball.
Cadence Blackburn Cadence Blackburn 5'5" | CG Wyoming East | 2025 State WV , Wyoming East, CG, 5-5 – One of the biggest stars coming out of Wyoming East’s last season along with Kayley Bane Kayley Bane 5'10" | SF Wyoming East | 2023 State WV , Blackburn reminded people that head coach Angie Boninsigna always has another guard waiting in the wings. “A player who plays above her size,” according to her head coach, Blackburn has a nice soft touch to her full-steam-ahead offensive attack. She’s not afraid to dribble right down the center of the lane and throw up a tear drop. But she also is a deadly shooter who steps right into her shot and lets it fly confidently. Defensively, she’s not afraid to match up against significantly taller opponents.
Mikayla Stacy Mikayla Stacy 5'10" | SF Wayne | 2025 State WV , Wayne, SF, 5-10 – Stacy is an all-around solid player. Offensively, she can take over a game if need be. Her repertoire includes all 3 scoring levels and she doesn’t need praise for getting the job done. She can take advantage of smaller defenders and beat them to the rim, or shoot over them. Defensively, she’s definitely a bulldog. She puts her fingerprints all over the point stopping unit, and doesn’t let up even for a minute on the court.
Lexi Adams Lexi Adams 5'7" | PG Washington Patriots | 2025 State WV , Washington, SG, 5-7 – Adams rates as an A+ shooter. She’s got the feel from all 3 levels and can consistenly beat you from each one of them. Even taking away one of those shots ends up providing little solace. She has no problem stepping inside the arc or driving hard to the basket. Opposing defenders should be on their toes when they are around her in July and the next few years.
