With many programs losing key players to graduation there will be plenty of opportunity for other players to step up and help lead their respective schools.   Here I take a look at some of the players I feel could have breakout seasons. [player_tooltip player_id='582422' first='Kimi' last='Cahoon'] Phoenix Country Day   Cahoon is known for her defensive prowess and her track & field success plays a part in that. Her offense is generated by her defense. Cahoon looks to close out her high school career on a high note. [player_tooltip player_id='605083' first='Ella' last='Wiltbank'] Pima (Featured Image)   The senior will take on even more of a leadership with the loss of the top two scorers from last year's state runner up team. Look for Ella to more than double last year's scoring averages in an effort to take back Pima to where they have been her entire high school career. Lailani Hall Chandler Prep   Hall should continue to build off a successful sophomore season that saw her help lead the Titans to the playoffs. Chandler Prep returns all but one player from last year's team. Trinity Mitchell Valley (Sanders)   Mitchell was a big part of the late season run that Valley made to end the season. Now that she has a varsity season under her belt, she will be even more effective. [player_tooltip player_id='673100' first='Tamia' last='Pietila'] Miami   The incoming freshman is poised to take on a prominent role out of the gate. She will be one of the top freshman scorers from day one. She scores in a variety of ways including a very nice mid-range game.
