In this article I’ll be taking an in-depth look at Adidas sponsored Hardwood Elite a big-time program that has plenty of big-time names to match it. I’ll be breaking down 15U-17U, from players to watch, standouts and names to know.
17U SSB Roster
Sienna Betts Sienna Betts 6'5" | PF Grandview | 2025 State CO 2025
Elizabeth Gentry Elizabeth Gentry 6'2" | PF Arapahoe | 2024 State CO 2024
Damara Allen 2024
Quinn Vansickle 2025
Gianna Smith Gianna Smith 5'9" | CG Arapahoe | 2025 State CO 2025
Kylin Shipmen 2024
Brooklyn Stewart Brooklyn Stewart 6'2" | SF Pine Creek | 2025 State CO 2025
Rylie Beers Rylie Beers 5'10" | CG Valor Christian | 2025 State CO 2025
Good luck to the teams on the Adidas Cricut that this play will have to face off against cause this team is LOADED. A lot of the top players in 2024 and 2025 are represented on this team. Which doesn’t leave many weaknesses on this team. Starting with back-to-back state champ Sienna Betts Sienna Betts 6'5" | PF Grandview | 2025 State CO the 6’5 lefty looks to continue her dominance heading into summer play. Brooklyn Stewart Brooklyn Stewart 6'2" | SF Pine Creek | 2025 State CO and Elizabeth Gentry Elizabeth Gentry 6'2" | PF Arapahoe | 2024 State CO make it extremely hard to defend this team they both have the height but also the feet speed to control the paint or operate on the wings. The scoring combination of Damara Allen, Gianna Smith Gianna Smith 5'9" | CG Arapahoe | 2025 State CO , and Quinn Vansickle means that somebody will always have the hot hand and watch out for the games when they are all able to hits shots. Kylin Shipmen from Wyoming gives them a pure point guard that’s able to control the pace and make sure everybody is getting involved. The kid that is going to put the world on notice this summer is Riley Beers, we all know she’s a good player, but she impacts winning at such a high level it’s impossible to take her off the floor at times.
16U SSB Roster
Olivia Campbell 2025
LeeKaya Burke-Perryman LeeKaya Burke-Perryman 5'3" | PG Pine Creek | 2025 State CO 2025
Kinley Asp Kinley Asp 5'10" | CG Colorado Springs Christian | 2026 State CO 2026
Peyton Jones 2026
Aubrey Cook Aubrey Cook 6'4" | C Legend | 2025 State CO 2025
Molly Dorighi Molly Dorighi 5'8" | CG Cherry Creek | 2025 State CO 2025
Brianne Mansanares Brianne Mansanares 5'10" | SG Doherty | 2025 State CO 2025
Sophia Baal Sophia Baal 6'1" | PF Cherry Creek | 2025 State CO 2025
This 16U team has so many players that are on the cusp of becoming household names and the landscape of this team lets them do just that and it begins with Olivia Campbell. We don’t get to see too much of her throughout the high school season with her being on the western slope, but she wouldn’t be on this team if she couldn’t get the job done. She will be the player that they rely on heavily throughout Spring and Summer ball to provide that consistency. LeeKaya Burke-Perryman LeeKaya Burke-Perryman 5'3" | PG Pine Creek | 2025 State CO and Molly Dorighi Molly Dorighi 5'8" | CG Cherry Creek | 2025 State CO give this team two deadeye shooters that are daring teams to help down low. Aubery Cook will be doing most of the damage in the frontcourt and she will be eager to get going having sat this season out. Sophia Baal Sophia Baal 6'1" | PF Cherry Creek | 2025 State CO and Brianna Mansanares will look to play inside out causing mismatches all over the floor. This team adds two young ones to the equation in Kinley Asp Kinley Asp 5'10" | CG Colorado Springs Christian | 2026 State CO and Peyton Jones, helping them take their games to another level while as also giving the team two kids that play as hard as they can each night.
