New Hampshire Breakout Watch List

As we preview the upcoming high school basketball season, we look at 5 potential breakout players from New Hampshire.

Kate Sloper Kate Sloper 5'6" | SG Londonderry | 2025 State NewE , HT 5’7, Position SG, Class 2025, High School Londonderry

Kate has a very quick first step, and just finds ways to get in the paint. She mange’s to finish over bigger defenders, and is aggressive. She has improved her outside shooting, making her a threat from all areas of the floor. There is a lot of potential in Kate’s game.

Lyla Stein Lyla Stein 5'6" | CG Bedford (NH) | 2025 State NewE , High School Bedford, Position CG, HT 5’6, Class 2025

Lyla has been on my radar and watchlist since I saw her play at the Prep Girls Hoops Top 250 Expo. She is a defensive specialist. She has very active hands on defense, and gets a ton of defections. She has a high basketball IQ defensively, and plays very good on ball and off ball defense. She has even shown she can guard players bigger in size. I think She also has potential in her offensive game. She has a smooth shot, and can finish on both sides at the rim.

Abby Schrader Abby Schrader 5'8" | CG New Hampton | 2026 State NewE , Class 2027, High School New Hampton, Position CG, HT 5’8,

Abby is only in the class of 2027, but has a lot of potential to make an impact this season. Abby has a balanced and soft shooting touch. She can run the floor, and play at multiple speeds. She is a high energy player, with a strong competitive drive. She spaces the floor well, and can create her own shot.

Madison Pepra -Omani, High School Manchester Memorial, HT 5’6, Position PG

Madison has dealt with some injuries during her high school career, but she should be 100 percent for this season. She has second level playmaking abilities. Madison is a very efficient player, who shoots the three well. She can score in bunches. She is a playmaking Guard with a strong upside, and should have a big senior season.

Meredith Winterburn Meredith Winterburn 5'10" | SG Goffstown | 2025 State NewE , High School Goffstown, Position Wing, Class 2025, HT 5’10

Meredith is a versatile wing, with good length to match her skill set. She has an extremely high motor, and never looks tired late in games. She has an improving overall offensive skill set. She run’s the floor well, and works very hard on the glass. A lot of potential in Meredith’s game, and I think this will be her breakout year.
