Continue ReadingOn a team full of standouts, Danielle has created a name for herself since the beginning of the season. Brooks plays with pace and creativity and can get to the rim within a couple of moves. The deep three ability is present too. Tons of confidence when it comes to scoring.. no shot is out of her range. A for-sure 2026 to watch as circuit season comes along.
Regarded as the #1 Freshman in the state by multiple outlets.. including ours. Trinity has made an impact since her season began. Multiple high numbered double doubles have been the outcome of majority of her games. Scoring 500+ points in her first year, the length, postition verstality and the passing ability are key to this. Defensively, she’s a paint blanket and a perimeter knack for her team.
The hype around Danyella has been stamped as official. The ball handling, the touch around the rim with both hands, and the vision to facilitate for the team are just a few of her strong skills. She’s smooth, unbothered and remains focused on all possessions. Her talent has no cap, and she has the offensive package to play with multiple types of players.
With every game Baer clocks into, she seems to gain more confidence..which in return has shown the extent of her skillset. Strong footwork with a mix of length and versatility. Lexi can score at all three levels, while also being able to defend from paint to perimeter. As AAU season rolls around, Baer will be a name to keep on the radars.

Casey Vyverman
Vyverman from a length standpoint, plays much bigger than she is. The motor and energy she plays with allows her to fill up the stat box in multiple categories . Defensively, she can contest and alter shots with no problem. On the offensive side of the ball, she has the shooting touch to get hot from the mid and the three at any moment.
Dynamic as they come.. Rathman has been a standout all season. Her motor is what sticks out to me the most. She’s relentless when it comes to rebounding, she has the agility to chase down blocks, and the instincts to be in the right place at the right time on important possessions. Scoring wise.. Heidi has the figured out. She can score from all angles, and be a disruption for a defense from start to finish.
