She’s the type of player that can grab a board one second, and go coast to coast for a beautiful contested lay-up on the other end, and make it look easy! Reads passes so well, strong moves in the paint, outstanding outside shooter who can knock down 3’s with her eyes shut! Very bright future for Katie! (Below, #32) ** Featured Photo

West Clermont | 2026
State
OH
, 5-11 West Clermont. (debuts at #18) I love her quickness and how she anticipates passes! She covers a lot of ground with her length and speed! Strong handles, attacks the rim, pulls up shots from deep and connects with ease! She finishes so strong on fast breaks- doesn’t matter if there’s multiple defenders! Such a versatile player- tough to defend simply because she does damage from anywhere on the court!

Canal Winchester | 2026
State
OH
, 6-0 Canal Winchester. (debuts at #22) This young lady who can crush a volleyball on kills and blocks, uses that same athleticism on the basketball court! I love her defense, how she picks pockets and takes off on transition. Without question a blocking threat inside, takes care of boards, love her footwork! And she’s certainly gaining the attention from D1 coaches! High ceiling! (Below, shooting)

Springfield | 2026
State
OH
, 5-8 Springfield. (debuts at #26). I was impressed with Milly when I first watched her play earlier this summer. She has such a smoothness to her game, confidence, and is a play maker! Not afraid to take chances! Handles the rock well, strong facilitator in running the offense, and has no problem scoring buckets!

, 5-8 Lakota West. (debuts at #29) The energy Bayliff brings to the court is such an asset to her game! I love players who show emotion and passion- she is a leader! Defensively, does very well applying on ball pressure. Offensively, Caroline has a quick release, and is a bucket from deep! She sees the floor and creates great looks for her teammates.
