She won MVP awards twice in the Queen City Tip-Off. You can hear the crowd say “whoa” while she uses her natural acrobatic moves to the bucket! Special. She’s a whole different level of a player. (Below with ball)
Celina Blount Celina Blount 6'2" | C Lakota East | 2024 State OH : 6’2, 2024, Lakota East- Blount’s game is exciting to watch! She moves so well without the ball, sets great pick and rolls, has reliable hands, and is a blocking machine! Celina covers so much territory with her length, which is such an asset in help side D and rebounding. (Below on defense)
Melania Cornute Melania Cornute 5'6" | PF Akron St. VIncent St. Mary's | 2027 State OH : 5’6, 2027, Akron SVSM- We’ll be talking about this diaper dandy for many years! I love her quickness, and how she sets strong screens for teammates. Beautiful mid range floaters in the lane! Love her control, composure, and plays with zero fear. Confident with the basketball! (Below with ball)
Riley Smith Riley Smith 6'2" | SF Kettering Alter | 2024 State OH : 6’2, 2024, Alter- With her length, boy can she block and make opponents second guess themselves taking it to the hoop! So smooth driving to the bucket! In the first half, the ball just wouldn’t go through the hoop- but great shooters like Smith keep shooting, and she turned it up the 2nd half. (Below with ball)
Whitley Davis Whitley Davis 5'11" | PF Winton Woods | 2026 State OH : 5’10, 2026, Winton Woods- Whitley is the type of player that can make a huge impact from any position! High ability to take care of business going to the bucket! Knows how to get to the charity stripe and connect consistently. And her 3’s- wow! She gets in a rhythm and its game over! (Below with ball, Featured Photo)
Daniah Trammell Daniah Trammell 6'1" | PF Winton Woods | 2025 State OH : 6’2, 2025, Winton Woods- Trammell is the real deal- fantastic footwork inside the paint, wheels and handles that have no problem going coast to coast for the bucket! Love her physical game, and she is a handful to guard. Double-double machine! (Below in white jersey)
Mari Gerton Mari Gerton 5'7" | PG Princeton | 2025 State OH : 5’8, 2025, Princeton- This picture gives a glimpse of Gerton’s phenomenal jump shot. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Mari can hang for what feels like several seconds. Pure shooter, outstanding ball control. I cannot wait to see her play at the next level! Bright future! (Below, shooting)
Heaven Sneed Heaven Sneed 5'5" | PG Cincinnati Princeton | 2026 State OH : 5’5, 2026, Princeton- I think this picture says it all in a nut shell! Sneed’s defense is intense! She sits so low, and allows very little real estate for opponents to move. Her on ball pressure is a 10! Great handles, and can shoot the rock. (Below on defense)
