Players to Watch!

Harper Annarino: 2024, Granville- Annarino, who recently committed to continue her basketball career at The University of Charleston WV, has such a high ceiling! She is so lethal, both inside and outside offensively, with excellent footwork! She is strong, connects at the line, and a beast on defense! (Featured Photo)

Aliyah Moore: 2024, Granville- Moore’s ability to run the offense with such grace, feed the ball inside, launch 3’s and finish consistently are just a few of her strengths! She plays with no fear, and love her intensity on defense!

Avery Williams: 2025, Licking Valley- Avery has light feet- and no question her quickness in soccer is also seen on the court, as well as her defense! I like her decisions on transition, and not afraid to take big shots!

Jersey Draughn: 2024, Zanesville- Jersey has got some serious game! Clutch shooter, not a shot she doesn’t like, and can nail it from deep! Strong passer, sees the floor very well! She’s a play maker!

Layla Boothe Layla Boothe 5'11" | PF Licking Heights | 2027 State OH : 2027, Licking Heights WOW- This young lady has a very bright future! With her length (5’11), shooting, beautiful passes where she guides her teammates to easy buckets, and confidence to take over, I have a strong feeling we will be talking about her a lot throughout Boothe’s career!

Grace Sturgell: 2024, Lakewood Grace does a nice job setting herself up for outside shots, and connects- but I really like her mid-range jumper! She finds the open gaps, and is consistent knocking them down!

Ella Perry Ella Perry 5'10" | PF Watkins Memorial | 2025 OH : 2025, Watkins Memorial- I love how she battles inside! She fights hard for rebounds, and does a great job protecting the paint. I like her footwork on the block, and she uses the glass well! Reliable hands!

Rilyn Warner: 2024, Watkins Memorial- Warner does everything- I like her helpside defense and how she anticipates passes, leading to fast breaks! She’s got speed, and can shoot the rock from behind the arc!
