Laila Safford Laila Safford 5’11” | C Beachside | 2027 State FL continues to play up 3 grades and had some bright moments. At nearly 6 feet tall, the 8th-grade forward contributes with rebounds and blocked shots. Her offensive game is still developing, but she makes contributions and plays well enough to play when the games are meaningful and in the balance.
Narissa Blocton Narissa Blocton 5’9″ | PG Ridgeview | 2026 State FL made some good plays in transition and on Day 1 she was really good on the defensive end. She was used to neutralize the opponent’s best shooter and she did a good job defending some future D1 prospects. Blocton has great length, speed and is a defensive weapon. She is a pest in man-to-man defense. As a defender, the Freshman baller is way ahead of her grade level.
Sydney Kenney Sydney Kenney 5’6″ | CG Orange Park | 2024 State FL made some big plays during the tournament and has a flair for making big plays. Kenney has a nice outside shot and she usually provides a spark as soon as she comes i the game. Kenney is an under-the-radar player who is an aggressive offensive payer who looks to score when in the game. She does a good job on the boards and in transition.
Kayaunna Dean Kayaunna Dean 5’7″ | SG Riverview | 2024 State FL is fast and athletic and really made some dynamic moves to the rim. Can get downhill in a hurry and has good body control on layups. Dean made 2 first-half drives that were as good as it gets. She is a very good defensive player who plays the passing lanes well and has very good anticipation. On the offensive end, Dean knocked down 7 points in defeat.
