emme hernandez was elected to second Team All-Showcase
- Ariana Harris Ariana Harris 5'4" | PG Lane Tech College Prep | 2027 IL | 5’4 G | Lane Tech College Prep – A smaller guard with tons of energy. She can knockdown the outside shot and finds ways to hit the paint as well.
- Molly Hennessy Molly Hennessy 5'6" | CG Marist | 2027 IL | 5’6 G | Marist – A player who knows how to space the floor even when the ball isn’t in her hands. She moves along the perimeter but never clogs up in area.
- Shauna Jones Shauna Jones 5'9" | SF Rockford Lutheran | 2027 IL | 5’9 F | Rockford Lutheran – Strong frame who can be effective on both sides of the ball. She showed her ability to stand her ground in the post when defending, and some solid footwork on the offensive side.
- Samantha Austin Samantha Austin 5'9" | SF Nazareth | 2027 IL | 5’9 F | Nazareth Academy – An active and tough defender who excels on the glass. Her ability to make plays from the post and perimeter are present as well. She can finish at the rim, and can stretch the floor when needed.
- Olivia King Olivia King 5'3" | PG Lincoln Way East | 2027 IL | 5’3 G | Lincoln Way East – A confident shooter who seems to not get disgruntled after a coupe mistakes. She plays the game with tons of energy and a has a scrappy side as well.
- Avery Mullaghy Avery Mullaghy 5'3" | PG Marist H.S. | 2027 IL | 5’3 G | Marist – Tons of potential is attached to Avery. She is explosive on the drive, has a tight handle and can play just as well off the ball as she does with it. Defensively the energy and effort was always there. A difference maker for Team 9
