<p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>The 2022-23 High School season is coming to an end this week, who are the top players in FHSAA classifications 6A-7A. </em></p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221643' first='Jaylin' last='Neder'] </strong>(Land O' Lakes) – 5'9 Guard – Class of 2025</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Neder was special in her sophomore season averaging 18.8 points per game and leading her squad to a 20-5 record, falling to Oakleaf in the regional finals. The 5'9 guard is a prolific scorer that is equally dangerous attacking off the dribble as she is when left open on the perimeter. She is a skilled offensive player with a high IQ, makes good decisions when pressured and in traffic, and is a selfless player who gives the ball up to open players. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='166168' first='Hannah' last='Kohn'] </strong>(Hagerty HS) – 5'9 Guard – Class of 2023</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Kohn got it down all season on the offensive end averaging 22.6 points per game and shooting an impressive 52% from 3. She led her squad to an impressive 24-1 record heading in the playoffs before falling short to Colonial with a spot in Lakeland on the line. Kohn is as deadly of a 3-point shooter as there is in the state, capable of knocking it down from anywhere on the court once she crossed half court. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='166160' first='Kaylah' last='Turner'] </strong>(Oakleaf) – 5'5 Guard – Class of 2023</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Turner was the heartbeat that made Oakleaf go all season leading her squad in points (23.0), rebounds (6.4), assists (3.1), and steals (5.8) while shooting 55% from the field. The quick, explosive guard attacks aggressively off the dribble and in transition often and does a great job getting to the rim. Turner's offensive output will be instrumental in Oakleaf chances of taking home a state championship. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248320' first='Trinity' last='Turner'] </strong>(Dr. Phillips) – 5'7 Guard – Class of 2024</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Turner is the heartbeat of her Dr. Phillips squad with a special skill set capable of scoring from all areas on the court and another gear that she can amp up to in big moments when the game is on the line. She has a strong, athletic build with a variety of open court moves, taking her defenders off the dribble with ease often. She is one of the toughest matchups in the state and will look to lead her squad to back-to-back state championships. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='243892' first='Carmen' last='Richardson'] </strong>(Colonial HS) – 5'9 Guard – Class of 2024</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Richardson is one of the most well rebounded offensive players in the state and has been getting it done all season for Colonial. She led the team in scoring (13.4 points), assists (3.1) per game, while also shooting 41% from the field, 32% from 3, and also grabbing 4.9 rebounds and snatching 2.8 steals per game. She has a long wingspan with a wiry, athletic build who is a big perimeter player that is extremely versatile. For Colonial to take home the state championship, Richardson will need to be at the top of her game and put back to back high level performances. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Washington does a little bit of everything for Winter Haven and is a huge reason why the Lady Blue Devils are back in Lakeland. Th4 5'6 combo guard averaged 12.6 points while shooting 56% from the field and grabbing 4.9 rebounds, dropping 3.4 assists, and snatching 3.8 steals per game. She is the heart and sole of the Winter Haven squad, making a huge impact for her team on both ends of the floor. </p>
