Bishop Ireton guard Saniyah King Saniyah King 5’8″ | CG Bishop Ireton | 2024 State VA is a complete basketball player. She is a fantastic passer and rebounder for her size. Saniyah can play either guard position and is very productive off the ball. She shoots the ball well and does a lot of good work when she gets into the paint.
Cyriah Griffin Cyriah Griffin 5’7″ | PG Menchville HS | 2024 State VA is a terrific offensive player. Cyriah is quick, with a great handle and elite vision when driving. The most impressive thing about Cyriah is her shooting ability. Her range is limitless, and she can create open looks anywhere on the court. She also has an excellent mid-range game and is always a threat to take over games.
Sydney Anthony Sydney Anthony 5’6″ | SG St. Vincent Pallotti | 2024 State MD ‘s calling card is her defense. She is always super active on that end and is a pest defensively. She has excellent hands and doesn’t let you breathe with her tremendous pressure. Her defense consistently leads to the offense, with her getting a steal or deflecting a pass leading to an easy bucket on the other end. Her commitment to defense is every coach’s dream.
Desirae Ashton Desirae Ashton 6’1″ | PF Bishop Ireton | 2024 State VA had a major injury, so this spring and summer were big to see where she is. She still looks fantastic to me and is one of the best players in the class. Her length and athletic ability make her a great defender. On offense, Desirae has a fantastic handle for her size and is excellent at the rim. She has a solid jump shot and rebounds well, especially on offense.
Highlights
Zania Socka-Nguemen Zania Socka-Nguemen 6’3″ | C Sidwell Friends | 2024 State MD is nationally ranked in the top 50 in the class of 2024 for a good reason. Zania is a dominant athlete, and it shows on the glass and defense. She disrupts everything around the rim with her elite timing and aforementioned athletic ability. She is 6’3″ but still moves exceptionally well, and when she faces up against other bigs, she consistently blows by them.
While we’re on the subject of highly rated Sidwell Friends players, UCLA commit Kendall Dudley Kendall Dudley 6’1″ | SF Sidwell Friends | 2024 State MD is ranked number 12 nationally. I don’t need to say much about Kendall, as much has already been said. But Kendall’s length and touch make her a monster in the paint. She is a high-level athlete, and her ball handling has gotten a lot better.
