Maine Breakout Watchlist

The high School basketball season is on the horizon. Here we preview the season and look at 5 potential breakout players from Maine. [player_tooltip player_id='335464' first='Izzy' last='Orlando'], High School Freeport, Position PF, HT 5'11, Class 2025, Orlando is a high energy player, that impacts the game on both sides of the floor. She is a very physical player, and strong defender coming from the weakside as a shot blocker. She also works very hard on the glass. She has improved her all around game, and is more aggressive off the dribble, and can hit the outside shot. Orlando should take a big jump in her Junior year. [player_tooltip player_id='354205' first='Renee' last='Ripley'], High School Oceanside, Class 2026, HT 5'7, Position CG, Renee made an impact on varsity as just a Freshman, and should make an even bigger impact in her Sophomore season. Renee is a combo Guard that can score the ball, cuts hard, and spaces the floor well. She has a good jump shot with a quick release. This year she will be more comfortable in the system, and I think more aggressive on the offensive side of the floor. Kylie Young, High School Westbrook, Position PG, HT 5'5, Class 2025 Kylie is a true Point Guard, that can run the offense for your team. She communicates well, takes care of the ball, and sees the floor well. She has a good attitude, and is a high motor player. This season I think her stats will go up, and she will be a name you will hear about it. Jyll Riendeau, High School Maine Central Institute, Class 2025, Position PG, Jyll is a Point Guard, who is a strong three point shooter. She shoots at a high percentage from the outside. She is a shifty player, and can score off the dribble or off the catch. I think this could be Jyll's breakout year. [player_tooltip player_id='412220' first='Ella' last='Pelletier'], High School Oxford Hills, Position G/F, HT 5'11, Class 2025 Ella is a versatile player, with good size to match her skill set. She is starting to receive division 1 college offers, and is proving she can play at that level. She has a really high ceiling with her game, and impacts the game in many ways. She can be dangerous on the wing. She can attack off the dribble, and finishes well at the rim. On defense she can defend inside and out. Watch out for Ella this coming season.
