Continue ReadingThrough mid-August I went through my top players in each class with my August Company series. Now I’m going through the state and finding those high impact players that didn’t quite make those initial lists. Tap into VT’s finest with the Gamechangers series!
Maya Auger Maya Auger 5'8" | CG North Country Union | 2024 State New E , 5’9 G – North Country Union H.S. Class of 2024
A dynamo offensively, Auger’s microwave ability and deep range give opponents fits as she fills it up on the offensive end. Moreover, I see her playmaking exploding as she will have the ball in her hands more this year, orchestrating and creating looks for herself and others. Tough cover!
Ruby Dasaro Ruby Dasaro 5'7" Bellows Free Academy | 2024 State New E , 5’7 G – BFA St. Albans Class of 2024
Ruby’s two-way game is equipped with excellent agility and athleticism. Her slashing cuts defenses up and her facilitation ensures they can’t over-help, therefore forcing defenses into a pick your poison situation. Plus, she can lock up defensively. Two-way talent!
Brooke’lyn Robinson Brooke’lyn Robinson 5'7" | SG Lyndon Institute | 2024 State New E , 5’8 G – Lyndon Institute Class of 2024
Incredibly efficient, Brooke’lyn leaves little to be desired. Her decision making is top tier; she knows intuitively whether to shoot, drive or pass, and it’s all decided upon in an instant. She hits shots at each level, sees the floor nicely, and makes those around her better.
Emma Greenan Emma Greenan 5'11" | PF St. Johnsbury | 2024 State New E , 5’11 F – St. Johnsbury Academy Class of 2024
Greenan is an x-factor for St. Johnsbury this year. Emma’s ability to protect the rim, rebound the ball, and run the floor shine through. Moreover, she has the scoring touch to finish inside and from the mid-range, and the vision to feed shooters + cutters. I’m expecting a breakout year for the senior.
Kaia Anderson Kaia Anderson 5'9" | SF St. Johnsbury | 2024 State New E , 5’9 G/W – St. Johnsbury Academy Class of 2024
One of the most dependable players around, Kaia Anderson Kaia Anderson 5'9" | SF St. Johnsbury | 2024 State New E . You know you’re going to get excellent defensive work on and off the ball, rebounding, and communication on both ends of the floor. Moreover, she greases the offensive side with her passing, cutting, screening, and scoring spurts. Anderson’s motor and IQ are all there.
Evie Pirie Evie Pirie 5'7" | CG Lamoille | 2025 State New E , 5’9 G/W – Lamoille Union H.S. Class of 2025
Pirie is a key cog in the deep, and rather young, Lamoille rotation. Evie knocks down shots at each level with a poise and pace that make it look easy. Furthermore, she’s an anticipatory defender who can cause havoc out of their pressure defense. Savvy two-way play.
Cadence Lafferty, 5’9 G – BFA St. Albans Class of 2025
I don’t know what’s in the water in St. Albans, but everyone up there plays with a serious motor. Lafferty’s effort is 100% on both ends, her scoring inside and out has developed nicely, and her ability to run the break, see the floor, and make plays for others is beautiful to watch. Good stuff.
Caitlyn Davison Caitlyn Davison 5'9" | CG Hazen | 2024 State New E , 5’9 G – Hazen Union H.S. Class of 2024
I anticipate a breakout year from Davison. After playing with Lone Wolf this summer, Caitlyn’s confidence and toolkit has sharpened. She’s a savvy offensive juggernaut who can get to her spots and finish looks at every level. Moreover, her smarts defensively give opponents fits. So solid.
Addison Ely, 5’7 G – St. Johnsbury Academy Class of 2026
Over the summer I caught Addison wreaking havoc! Ely’s defensive IQ and hustle had opponents exhausted and frustrated as she tipped passes, brought timely help, and got out in transition. Moreover, Addison’s ability to convert the basketball play ensured high efficiency for herself and teammates.
Brianna Bunnell, 5’6 G – St. Johnsbury Academy Class of 2026
Bunnell’s a competitor who scraps on the defensive end with her tough on-ball work and intuitive + bothersome help defense. On the other end, it’s high-IQ hoop. Bunnell’s ball movement paired with her cutting and screening force defenses to stay aware; if not, she’ll fill it up off of high pct. looks.
