Although she gave up school ball to pursue debate, Barber broke off the rust and filled up the box score on Saturday. She showed versatility, defending post players and playing both inside and out on offense. She knocked down a three and was an effective rebounder. Tristan put up 8 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in her first two games of the day.
Outside shots weren’t falling as much as they usually do for Lopez, but Hannah still found a way to guide Georgia Queen Elite to two wins. The polished playmaker sank a pair of threes in Game 1, finishing with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. In a 36-35 overtime victory, Hannah did the little things well, contributing 3 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 2 steals. Lopez is a smooth ball handler. Her prettiest move of the game was when she used a head fake on the catch and got downhill for a layup. After averaging 12.3 points per game as a sophomore, a true breakout season is right around the corner.

Kaylon sprayed in 3 three balls in the second half to help Team Tiff Johnson over GA Dominance 53-45. Jackson is a compact guard that shoots with confidence off the catch and off the dribble.
McKenzie Everett

Only a 2028, Everett pops out at you. She’s all arms and legs, extremely long. McKenzie is still growing and already has coordination of her limbs. Everett has a smooth stroke from the perimeter, able to hurt defenses from the three-point line and mid-range. McKenzie has major upside defensively. Although she is thin, Everett had no issue rebounding at a high level. Everett is another gem in Marietta’s loaded 2028 class.

Set to attend LaGrange, Maliyah Gilbert Maliyah Gilbert 5’9″ | SG Troup County | 2026 GA would give the Grangers a shot in the arm from Day 1. A physical left-handed swingman, Gilbert gets downhill and causes issues in the paint. She has a floater in her arsenal but is also a threat to stop and pop from the three-point line. Gilbert projects to be an above average rebounder and defender. The power wing has a chance to be an impressive prospect.
