2026 Rankings: Those Who Rose

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This article will highlight the kids that moved up in the rankings for their work in the Spring and Summer and those who deserved to be higher on the list due to their work ethic. We see thousands of girls each year and it is difficult to get it all correct, but our system has proven to be clear and concise, having four editions of rankings per year helps us get it right. No one else in the country gives you four rankings updates per year, it is just not done like we do it. Enjoy the movers and shakers list coming...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026, 6'3, PF, Oakland Tech HS, [player_tooltip player_id='650112' first='Jhai' last='Johnson'] </strong>- Comes into our September edition of our PGHCalfornia rankings at #15, we believe she is worthy of this rankings due to the work she has put in during the season and also what we have seen in the spring and summer sessions. She has the height, body type and also the skill set to be in this position for our rankings. If she continues to grow in her game, she will be a Top 5 player in her class in our opinion in the near future. An abundance of talent also comes from this school as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026, 5'11, SF, Woodside Priory HS, [player_tooltip player_id='763605' first='Jordyn' last='Moss']</strong> - Comes into our September edition of our PGHCalifornia rankings at #16, we first saw Jordyn this spring and summer with her club team, she brought something special to the floor when we watched her play. She is an athletic wing player that is very active and knows how to play the game of basketball, she is equally skilled on the defensive side of the ball and that was one of the attributes we loved about her game. She can make a variety of shots on the floor and is also a willing rebounder and shot blocker, she deserves this position in our opinion. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026, 6'0, PF, Oak Park HS, [player_tooltip player_id='763614' first='Helena' last='Koubek'] </strong>- Comes into our September edition of our PGHCalifornia rankings at #17, Helena was seen by Dave Yapkowitz and this is what they had to say about her game. He believed that Helena is a lights out shooter, she makes a variety of shots on the floor off ball movement. She knows how to get open to make shots on the floor, she was pretty good of the catch and made numerous three pointers as he watched her play. She also has a guard mentality when handling the ball at her size and is a pretty good midrange shooter in his opinion, warranting her position in the rankings for the class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026, 5'7, SG, Bishop Montgomery HS, [player_tooltip player_id='574430' first='Sophia' last='Dignadice']</strong> - Comes into our September editon of our PGHCalifornia rankings rising from #23 to #20. Sophia is one of the better shooter we have seen this spring and summer, she has unlimited range and she is one of the most consistent shooters of the year. Her midrange game is impressive, she can drive into a pull up shot and also uses fakes to get the defender to bite and then she take a one-two dribble into a midrange jumper. She can also lend time at the point guard spot to help the teams get going when needed, she is a good player and equally a good teammate on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
