Sydney Wilson Sydney Wilson 4'11" | SG Miami Senior HS | 2025 State FL ( 2025) /5’3″ / PG / Miami Suns Mompremier 17U
Defensively, Wilson had some of the quickest feet in the building. She is a tenacious on the ball defender and anyone who gets past her will have to work for it. She is very smart with the ball and has a high basketball IQ. She does a good job of assessing what the defense is doing and how to attack it. On one play she caught the defense overplaying the wing and delivered a dime to a cutting teammate. A few possessions later she was dishing it to the corner for a three point bomb. She is selfless and has the traits to be a special point guard.
Laila Allen (2026) / 5’7″ / PG / 2025 Bluestar Orlando
Allen is pure excitement with the ball in her hand and you can’t predict what’s coming next when she gets downhill. She finished with a euro on one play, a midrange jumper on a play, and a floater on another play. She is shifty and fast, and she knows how to get a defender flowing one way and getting past the defender quickly the other way. Allen has the traits of a dynamic player and the handles to make it happen.
Ansley Hicks Ansley Hicks 5'6" | CG Paxon | 2024 State FL (2024) / 5’6″ / CG / 2024 FGB Elite 10th E40
Hicks is a high IQ basketball player that stood out as a calm player who doesnt get rattled on the court and lets the game come to her. She doesn’t force anything on the court and is a selfless player. She takes what the defense gives and she can drive to the basket if a defender leaves that lane opened. Hicks is versatile and plays both guard positions. She is at her best when the ball is in her hand and she is making a play for herself or her teammates. She very rarely makes the wrong read on a play. Defensively, she is a work horse who doesn’t mind taking a charge or diving for a loose ball.
Kennedy Rosendahl Kennedy Rosendahl 5'6" | SG Ponte Vedra | 2024 State FL (2024) / 5’7″ / G / 2024 East Coast United Clarke
In Louisville, Rosendahl connected on 8 threes in one game and on Day 2 of National Championship she knocked down 6 threes. She was MVP of the Championship game at Splash with a stellar performance and a barrage of threes. The threes come in addition to her ball handling duties and the intensity and energy she brings on the defensive end. “She just knocked down another one!”
Ella Stakem Ella Stakem 5'7" | SG Bolles HS | 2024 State FL (2024) / 5’8″ / SG / 2024 East Coast United Clarke
Stakem is good at sending the warning shot before there is an onslaught of threes coming your way. She consistently knocks down 3 to 4 threes per game and is notorious for delivering them in clutch moments. She plays very solid defense and does a good job of rebounding from the guard position. Stakem also has a nice float game that offsets her 3 point shooting. Anyone who closes out with no control gets hit with the float game or a dribble drive to the goal. Stakem also handles the ball well in pressure moments of the game.
Olivia Olson Olivia Olson 5'10" | SF Mainland | 2025 State FL (2025) / 5’9″ / SG / 2023 DME
Olson has the composure of a seasoned veteran and a smooth shot to go with it. In the 2nd half she was money and staged off any comeback with clutch shot after clutch shot. The Freshman knocked down 5 freethrows and 3 three pointers on her way to a 15 point performance. Olson was also poised handling the ball down the stretch.
Asiana Britt Asiana Britt 5'7" | CG DME Academy | 2023 State FL (2023) / 5’7″ / PG / 2023 DME
Britt looked like the Britt of old on Day 2 of National Championship. She got down hill quickly and earned 8 freethrow attempts. When she wasn’t drawing the fouls, she was punishing the defense with dribble drives to the goal. Britt can handle the ball well and is a very good rebounder from the guard position. She is a stat sheet specialist. She finished with a game high 21 points.
