Highlights
(Up from No. 52) Pound-for-pound, Gracie Byford Gracie Byford 5’5″ | PG Villa Rica | 2025 State GA is one of the better scoring guards in her class. She plays with swagger as a high-octane scorer. Byford fills it up with her three-point shot, creating space off the bounce, nailing step-back jumpers. Byford can finish with both hands in the paint and is a good passer that can find shooters on the weakside of the floor.
(Up from No. 61) Tyre is a swift guard. Her motor is consistent. She will press up on defense and harass opposing ball handlers. On offense, Tyre can beat you in a variety of ways. She’s a good three-point shooter, but is also crafty at getting to the rim.
(Up from No. 62) New Manchester won’t miss a beat in the backcourt with Paige Fears Paige Fears 5’5″ | PG New Manchester | 2025 State GA assuming a larger role. The compact guard has wiggle. She’s creative with her handle and is a threat to pull from well beyond the three-point line. Fears has shown a keen eye when driving, able to find the open man.
(Up from No. 75) Alex Whitecliffe Alex Whitecliffe 5’7″ | PG Cherokee | 2025 State GA had some really good moments in the offseason. The lacrosse standout is a very good athlete. She’s got a quick first step and plays hard every minute she’s on the floor. Alex is a willing defender and a great rebounder for her position. Whitecliffe is a skilled finisher with both hands. Alex is a dangerous three-point shooter that can score off the bounce with her range.
