Chamiah Francis Chamiah Francis 6'3" | C Booker | 2026 State FL – 6’3 Forward – Class of 2026
Francis was a big presence in the paint and has a chance to be truly special and could end up as one of the top prospects in the country when it is all said and done. She is an elite level post player who was very dominant on both ends in all aspects of the game. She is an impact player as a low post scorer, a rebounder and as a shot blocker. Her size and mass are very apparent for a player of her age, making her a challenge to move and to guard. Keep an eye on Francis, she has a chance to be special!
Jalynn Belton Jalynn Belton 5'10" | SF Miami Country Day | 2027 State FL – 5’11 Wing – Class of 2027
Belton is a big, strong, versatile wing that was named to the All Tournament Team for her stellar play. A versatile player, she played exclusively wing and on the perimeter in Orlando but has the ability to go inside and out. She has a strong and versatile skill set that makes her a very challenging matchup. Her unique build with a strong lower base, broad shoulders and mass, allow her to absorb contact and attack off dribble and get to paint and finish at the rim. When left open, she has 3 point range and will knock it down. Belton is one of top prospects for her age in the country and college coaches have begun noticing picking up offers from schools such as Florida State, UCF, Georgia, and others.
Kyndall Ellis – 5’11 Guard – Class of 2026
Ellis was another one of the big guards on this talented and young roster. A newcomer, she has a great body and played well with the ball in her hands and off the ball. Played well in transition, attacking from the wing and rebounding well from the perimeter position. She did a good job on the defensive end, applying ball pressure and keeping her matchup out of the paint and ran through passing lanes for steals.
Jaelynn Housey – 5’10 Guard – Class of 2026
Housey has an impressive body with a high motor and plays extremely active. She consistently plays hard and aggressive on both ends of the floor every possession. She plays with no fear, and her big, strong build allows her to play tough and physical and dominate smaller defenders. She is a downhill player that wants to get to the rim who can finish at the rim and can knock down the 3 as well.
Naya Hardisson Naya Hardisson 5'6" | PG Southridge | 2027 State FL – 5’7 Guard – Class of 2027
Hardisson was an excellent complimentary player on this loaded roster playing both point guard and shooting guard. She handled the ball well, pushing the ball in in transition, and slowing down and distributing the ball in the half court to scorers. She is a high percentage 3-point shooter that can be left open.
Victoria Valle Victoria Valle 5'7" | PG Doral Academy | 2027 State FL – 5’7 Guard – Class of 2027
Valle is another young, big guard on this talented roster that plays aggressively and fearless. She is a major threat with the ball in her hands, attacking off the bounce frequently. She sees over the defense and gives up the ball to open players and can also knock down the open 3 as well.
Kori Edge Kori Edge 5'4" | PG Miami Country Day | 2027 State FL – 5’4 Guard – Class of 2027
Edge was one of the youngest players on the team that came in for spot minutes as a role player. A smaller guard, she has a high motor and took advantage of her time on the court by playing like an energizer bunny. She immediately comes into games and makes her impact as a defender and a penetrator. On multiple occasions, she missed a shot or turned it over but did not hang her head and sprinted down the ball handler on the other end, breaking up the play.
