Continue ReadingI only got to watch about 10 minutes of Abbey Bensman Abbey Bensman 5’10” | SG Pope | 2026 State GA but that was plenty. The sharpshooter nailed a three, a pull-up jumper in transition and went into the post to score on a spin-middle push shot. All in all, she netted 32 points including six threes. Bensman is a sneaky good prospect that has a true scorer’s touch.
I came away impressed with the pace that Parker played at. Whipple is compact guard with quickness. She moves well without the ball, scoring on a pair of cuts. She can shoot the three and will slide onto the offensive glass if not blocked out. She had 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists against Aja Wilson Elite.
Known for her scoring, Claire’s value this offseason has come with her floor game. She once again filled up the stat sheet recording 6 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 4 blocks. Yes – 4 blocks. Carlson’s active hands and ability to be at the right place at the right time defensively helps her frustrate larger players when they try to score up close.
Highlights
Forest Park will turn to Mikayla Dunston Mikayla Dunston 5’5″ | PG Morrow | 2026 State GA to serve as the motor this season. She is a well-built guard with bouncy athleticism. Mikayla did well using her speed to get downhill. She netted a three and was effective on the glass in 16U FBC ‘ last=”] Bouncenation’s win over FBC ‘ last=”]’ last=’Legacy’]. Dunston tallied 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal.
It wasn’t her most efficient outing to start, but Kyla showed great mettle as she stuck with it and willed herself to a strong game and more importantly a win. Cantey put up 14 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block in a 48-36 victory. Kyla left a handful of shots short early on, then decided to find her rhythm by slashing to the basket. Once she got into a groove, it helped open up the floor for easier looks on the perimeter. The southpaw did a nice job scoring from all three levels and implemented her right hand when she got to the hole.
Gabbie’s aggressiveness off the dribble led to 18 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Gliatta scored on five drives and cashed in on a pair of threes. When Gliatta has her outside shot working, paired with her ability to slice to the rim, defenses are in trouble. She will play an elevated role in Year 2 at North Forsyth.
Highlights
Leah Bryan
Leah Bryan
Only a 2028, Leah is a smooth lefty with a high IQ. She utilizes the pump fake well, getting defenders in the air before easing into her one-dribble pull-up. Bryan loves the corners. She shoots the three very well and can drop in baseline floaters. Leah had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in a 47-28 win.
Emma has good mobility on the wing and can attack in a variety of ways. Against Aja Wilson Elite, Elder ran the floor for buckets, scored on a cut, a drive and converted on a floater, part of her 12 points.
Loren played well in Game 1. She showcased some inside-out offensive versatility, getting on the glass for a putback and then stretching out to nail a three on a baseline out of bounds set. Withrite did a good job mixing it up on the glass and holds long term upside as a multipositional defender. Loren tacked on 9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal vs. FBC ‘ last=”] Hawks Untamed.
