Continue ReadingAlready with multiple D-I offers in hand, Taryn Thompson Taryn Thompson 5’9″ | CG Galloway | 2026 State GA looked good on Friday as both a knockdown three-point shooter and a decision maker. Over a two-game span, she hit three threes and averaged 7.5 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 0.5 blocks per game. All three of Taryn’s three-pointers came from the corners.
Southeast All-Stars White had an explosive opening night, scoring 89 and 83 points in two wins. Zaynah Preston Zaynah Preston 5’7″ | PG Holy Innocents’ | 2024 State GA played a large role in the team’s efficiency. She dished out 12 assists on the night, her best performance coming against Lake City Pride 2025, recording 6 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. Zaynah sank three three-pointers on Friday, two via the corners. Her ability to find teammates great shots instead of good shots was impressive.
Lucy has great confidence pitching the ball ahead in transition and even in the half court. She beats defenses with her on the money over the top delivery to open teammates. Hood sank a pair of threes in her first game of the night, side-stepping a defender and later hitting a pull-up triple. She finished with 8 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. Lucy had a breakout season balancing her own aggressive scoring with her playmaking. Western Carolina has offered.
Averie posted 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in SAS Red’s 66-51 win over DME. Jones buried three threes and converted on a left-handed drive. Averie’s an automatic shooter off the catch. When she decides to attack off the dribble, she has a tough pull-up game and is strong enough to finish with either hand through contact at the rim.
Phillips is a weight room warrior. She uses her physicality to barrel her way to the rim. Once she gets a step on her defender, she keeps them at her hip and finishes at the basket. When Phillips is on her game, she’s making plays in the heart of the defense as both a distributor and jump shooter. Her strength allows her to be an above average rebounder for her height.
The North Carolina-based playmaker caught my eye with her smooth game. Skyla is a big guard that makes a big impact. She’s a threat on and off the ball. Tuthill shoots it extremely well from deep. She’s able to make plays downhill as a driver and sees the floor well. Skyla isn’t afraid to mix it up on the glass and has versatility that extends to the defensive end. Tuthill put up 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in a 78-52 win while nailing four threes.
Highlights
Anderson is a getting a scrappy sparkplug of a point guard. Izzy is a pass-first playmaker that can score in bunches when needed. She’s aggressive on defense, moving her feet well to stay in front. Izzy has the ball on a string when operating the offense. She scored with her jump shot on Friday, netting a pull-up from the mid-range before banging home a three. Proffitt finished with 5 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in an 83-47 win.
In a 60-46 win on Friday night, Aaliyah stuffed the stat sheet with great ease. The high-energy guard compiled 8 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals. Anderson is superb with her left-hand and near ambidextrous as a finisher. She scored three times with her off-hand on two drives and a floater. Aaliyah’s quickness and length give her an advantage on defense.
