Hailey Hausfeld Hailey Hausfeld 5'11" | SG Cooper City | 2024 State FL 2023 SG 5’11” Cooper City HS/Boca Thunder
Hausfeld is the lone senior on the Boca Thunder squad. She was running the floor, getting back on defense On the offensive end getting up the floor for the transition bucket. She was playing the 3 and 4 spot for the Thunder, making on target, timely passes to her teammates, setting them up for open shots.
Tabitha Betson Tabitha Betson 6'2" | CG DME Academy | 2024 State FL 2024 PF 6’2″ DME Academy
This post is tough and can pretty much do anything on the court. The Australian native has been on my radar for the last few tournaments, finally getting a chance to watch a full game. She can step out and hit the outside three ball, along with having a smooth touch for the mid-range jumper. Betson handles the ball like a guard, using a mix of moves. An excellent re bounder that is shows an incredible knack to chase down loose balls and getting herself into position to get the board.
Channing Warren Channing Warren 6'3" | C Timber Creek | 2024 State FL 2024 PF 6’3″ Timber Creek HS/FGB Elite
Warren has really improved over the last year or so. She looks like she has hit the gym, showing a strong frame. Warren has some nice post moves, along with some nimble feet. Her footwork is amazing. A soft touch around the goal, getting the put backs and other touch baskets in. Able to run the high pick and roll. Look forward to watching her play her senior year for the Wolves.
Briana Rivera Briana Rivera 5'7" | CG Lake Highland Prep | 2024 State FL 2024 SG 5’8″ Lake Highland Prep/Jsizzle Elite
Rivera is arguably the best spot up shooter in the state. If you leave her open or give her an inch, you will pay. She has been doing this for a few years now, hitting clutch outside shots. Rivera can handle the ball, showcasing a mix of moves and an ability to handle the pressure. Already getting a ton of interest from college coaches, will be interesting to see where she lands.
Trinity Harden Trinity Harden 5'7" | CG Central Florida Christian Academy | 2024 State FL 2024 SG 5’7″ OCP/Nona Basketball Academy
Harden is another tough 2024 kid. She takes the ball to the basket with a confidence and a high level of efficiency. She can knock down the outside shot, including the three ball. Very quick on the defensive end of the court, moving her feet well to get into position to lock up the defender.
Yareliz Repollet 2024 SG 5’4″ Cypress Creek/OBC
Repollet is a smart, savvy guard that plays with a quiet toughness. She can hit the outside jump shot, along with hitting the three ball. Very good at controlling the tempo of the game, directing her teammates to run the play and get into the correct position. A good hard nosed defender that gets in your face and makes things hard for the offense.
