No. 3 – Another stat sheet stuffer, Tianna Thompson Tianna Thompson 5’10” | PG Galloway | 2024 State GA has great length at 5-foot-10. She sees the floor very well and can defend all three positions on the perimeter. She’s been a two-time All-State selection in Class A-Private. Multiple Power 5 schools have offered.
No. 4 – Shooting efficiency isn’t an issue for Mataya Gayle Mataya Gayle 5’7″ | PG River Ridge | 2023 State GA , who has proven to be an above average three-point shooter this offseason.

Highlights
No. 5 – High Major schools have piled in offers for Bryanna Preston Bryanna Preston 5’10” | PG Wesleyan | 2024 State GA , who made a significant jump from Year 1 to Year 2. A dynamic athlete with lockdown on-ball defense, Preston upped her averages to 15.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.4 steals. Her quickness and motor are among the top of her class. Preston’s mid-range shot became a true weapon last season. Continuing to grow her range will be her next step offensively.
No. 6 – Only height will hurt Chit-Chat Wright if anything when it comes to recruitment. The 2024 playmaker had an electrifying sophomore season, earning Class A-Private Most Improved Player after averaging 21.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3 steals, most impressively nailing 71 threes at a 60% rate. Mid-Majors and High Majors Boston College and Georgia Tech have offered.
No. 7 – An inevitable four-year All-State member, Crystal Henderson Crystal Henderson 5’6″ | PG Kell | 2023 State GA pound-for-pound might be the best scorer in the state. She has unlimited range and is shifty with the ball, able to shake defenders to get into the paint for her tear drop floater. When Henderson is engaged, she can be a great playmaker that creates for others as the defense always is focused on her, leading to open looks for teammates. Henderson is slight of build and stands 5-foot-6, but she does have quick hands defensively. She holds offers from High Major down to Low Major.
