Juniors to Watch: 2025 Breakout Candidates

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The start of high school practice is less than a month away and it's never too early to start looking ahead to the 2023-2024 season. To start, I'd like to take a look at some Junior names that could break out in their final year at the high school level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254278"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Karmin has been in our rankings since she was a middle schooler at Hancock County. Her stock has tumbled a little over the last year or so but I think she's due for a big Junior season. Known for her shooting, Riley is becoming more comfortable as a driver and I expect her to get to the free throw line more often this year than in past seasons. Once she's there, she can convert a lot of And-1 opportunities.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650dfc7766104"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["470570"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Staying in the third region, I'm looking for Savannah to have a big Junior campaign for a good Meade County team. Triplett and Riley are a lot alike as both prefer to let it fly from behind the three point line. Savannah is going to have to get more comfortable taking contact but I think she's more than capable. If she can do that, she'll get to the free throw line more often than a year ago and boost her scoring numbers just by getting to the line.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650dfc7766166"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502279"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of the standout players at our Top 250 a couple of weeks ago, Nataya is a sleeper for a Madison Central team that is capable of making noise in the 11th region this season. Shifty with the ball in her hands, Strader is a good decision maker with the ball and is also a good shooter when she's operating as a catch and shoot player. Her stock is definitely trending up.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650dfc77661b4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["471746"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Hogan, like Strader is a really good point guard for an 11th region program. Leia is quick and confident with the ball. She's got above average handles and is just as capable as a passer as she is as a scorer. Leia is talented and would play 32 minutes a game for about any other team in the 11th region. Playing at Franklin County has taught her how to pick her spots and be an efficient scorer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650dfc77661ff"} /-->
