<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The talent in the Marion County continues to turn heads. To follow up on our<a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/12/7-marion-county-prospects-to-watch-this-season/"> first set</a> of standouts we have seven more prospects to keep an eye on. This set of prospects has a heavy dose of 2025 players holding their own on the varsity level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Forest</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495953' first='Jiyah' last='Hamilton'] is a lead guard who knows when to take over a game. She is a quick guard who knows she can get to the rim and rarely settles for jumpers. Good court vision and a solid finishing package equipped with floaters and the strength needed to finish through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">West Port</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1197547' first='Kayla' last='Lyde']</strong> is a 5'8 sophomore who is a strong defender who hounds the person in front of her. She's a good athlete with the quickness to stay in front of ball handlers. Lyde plays with a hot motor and is willing to put her buddy on the line to make plays. Great physical tools to work with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='730169' first='Leanna' last='Pabst'] is a good perimeter defender who is developing lead guard skills. Good size for the position at 5'8 with long arms to go with the height. She flashes shot creation in the midrange and gets to the rim. A solid driver who can get to the foul line and finish in a crowd.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Caniyah Graham</strong> is a high upside guard with speed and quick reflexes. Functions as a defensive spark plug for her team. Racks up deflections and steals. Can attack defenses off the dribble and finishes around the rim and with floaters. A solid three point shooter when she has space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trinity Catholic</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sadie Garrett </strong>is a 5'8 guard who rebounds and knocks down shots. The 2025 prospect leads her team three point makes (1.6 per game) and percentage (36 3FG%). Solid rebounder for her position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='656807' first='Brionie' last='Leahmon'] is a connector piece that does a bit of everything on the court. The 2025 guard can run the offense, read the floor on both ends of the court, and turn defense into offense. Leahmon is a high-IQ player who makes winning plays. She hustles on defense and has a solid stroke on open shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1218168' first='Alessa' last='Washington']</strong> has a scorer's DNA and is learning to play on a talented roster. Uses a quick first step to get to the rim and can hit shots beyond the arc. Washington is becoming a more active defender who uses her athleticism to cut off passing lanes and turns steals into transition opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The talent in the Marion County continues to turn heads. To follow up on our first set of standouts we have seven more prospects to keep an eye on. This set of prospects has a heavy dose of 2025 players holding their own on the varsity level.
