Leah Vacin Leah Vacin 5'4" | PG Catonsville | 2023 State MD l 5-8 l Combo Guard l Catonsville l 2023
Leah plays the entire floor on defense covering a lot of ground. She gets into transition right away after a deflection or steal to lead to easy layups.
Reagan Olge l 5-8 l Combo Guard l South River l 2023
Reagan is really pesky defender. She maintains in perfect defensive position with good lateral movement. She was able to get multiple deflections and steals and is a big reason that Eleanor Roosevelt stayed under 20 points in the first half.
Stacey Giannopoulos l 5-2 l Combo Guard l Glen Arm Gladiators l 2028
Stacey plays close to six feet but is a lot closer to 5’2″. She is long despite her height and gets her hands on a lot of balls. She is a good finisher after a steal and offenses need to be aware of her location at all times.
Ryleigh Adams Ryleigh Adams 5'11" | PF South River | 2025 State MD l 5-11 l Wing l South River l 2025
Ryleigh’s size gave her a solid defensive presence in the paint. She was a deterrent to players driving the lane and was good at altering shots around the basket. Her size and strong hands makes her a good rebounder.
Analise Barton l 5-8 l Guard l Eleanor Roosevelt l 2023
Analise is very athletic and it helped her recover quickly even when she was out of position to make a play. Offensively she attacked well and was able to get to the line several times.
Brooklyn Stewart l 5-7 l Combo Guard l Glen Arm Gladiators l 2028
Brooklyn made multiple plays on defense and had a stretch of three steals in a row that were converted into points. She is fast and looks like a complete player. No doubt we will be hearing a lot more about her in the near future.
