Continue ReadingThe 2023 Florida High School Athletic Association Girls Basketball Final Four has arrived and Prep Girls Hoops is taking a deeper dive at the top prospects in each class on who to watch for during state championship week. We are starting with the seniors and will be making our way down towards the freshman. Let’s get started:
The 5-6 point guard has been one of the top ranked guards in the freshman class for over a year now and has grown more and more potential every time she steps onto the floor. She can score in a variety of ways whether it’s from beyond the arc or off the dribble. She plays a very mature game for her age and is an excellent decision maker when the ball is in her hands.
The 5-9 small forward was a huge factor during the postseason leading American Heritage Plantation as they seek their 6th consecutive state title. On the defensive end, Green is a strong communicator and provides great length where she can guard multiple positions. On the offensive end, she is extremely strong and finishes efficiently well with contact.
The 5-7 combo guard is as crafty as it gets on both ends of the floor. On the offensive end, she has extreme quickness at getting to the basket and scoring in a variety of ways. On the defensive end, she has a nose for the basketball and reads passes exceptionally well. During the regular season, Ray averaged 17.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

The 5-9 small forward plays with a high basketball IQ and can score in a variety of ways. She recorded a season-high 27 points in a 80-44 win over Plant in the regional final back on February 17. On the defensive end she shows to have perfect placement and positioning most of the time and is exceptionally well at taking charges and stopping the ball in transition.
The 5-7 small forward is a crafty, left-handed guard who can also maintain the wing position on the floor. She is exceptional at getting to the basket and kicking out to find an open shooter. On the defensive end, she does a great job at staying in front of the opposition and has great court vision to read the passes and force deflections.
