Sydney Lamkin
Sydney Lamkin
#4 Sydney Lamkin (2024) is a 5’6 PG from Mercer County who ran the show Wednesday night. Sydney utilizes strong downhill drives using crossovers to create scoring opportunities around the rim. She sets up teammates well with her court vision and has next level passing abilities. Against Riverdale, she had a right hand finish in traffic from the left side, and finished a contested left layup off of two. Sydney corralled a defensive rebound and out-raced opponents in transition to thread a bounce pass for an assist.
Carrieanne Hungate
Carrieanne Hungate
#34 Carrieanne Hungate (2024) is 5’10 PF for Riverdale who dominates in the paint. She is a rebounding threat on both ends, with sneaky speed to race down the floor in transition. Hungate converted a left-handed layup off two feet and finishes strong around the rim; she can handle the ball with both hands. Hungate is effective off the screen and roll; she has the range to shoot outside.
Katie Cox
Katie Cox
#22 Katie Cox (2026) is a strong post prospect for Riverdale. Katie is a strong rebounder and finisher at the rim. She had 9 points in the first half Wednesday; she rebounded the ball and will push it with both hands in transition and finish with either hand.
#4 Jamisen Green Jamisen Green 5’10” | CG Harrisburg | 2026 State IL (2026) is one of Harrisburg’s fiercest bulldogs. She is aggressive and rips the ball out of opponents hand, but has the class to help them up. Jamisen anticipates passes to create steals. She uses effective drop steps and pivots to create open angles to finish with either hand around the rim. Jamisen has a quality shooting form and extends her range out beyond the arc. She is a dominant rebounder and pressure defender. One of her best plays: a spin dribble downhill drive with a eurostep then switched hands to her right and finish off glass. She converted many steals into transition layups and is a top dog for Harrisburg.
Highlights
Kinzleigh Smothers

#3 Kinzleigh Smothers (2026) is an impressive CG for Harrisburg. Kinzleigh is a knock down shooter, if you give her an inch outside she will make you pay. She dropped 10 in the first half Wednesday and was lethal from beyond the arc. Kinzleigh had a strong downhill drive through traffic, resulting in a foul. Her free throws had picture perfect form with a high release. She made another impressive play using her ball handling control to split defenders and finish with a right layup.
Mara Serifini
Mara Serifini
#14 Mara Serifini (2024) played well in the battle of the Bulldogs Wednesday. She is a strong power forward with length to deflect passes and effectively defend the post. She has the ability to extend her scoring beyond the 3 point line and had a strong baseline rip to the basket by a defender. Mara moves well laterally and plays a physical game; she will not allow any easy passes inside. Mara knocked down a corner 3 off the dribble in the fourth and finished with 13 points for the Carma-White County.
