Madilyn Ray Madilyn Ray 6'2" | C Beachside | 2026 State FL was a beast this week as she was dominant at all levels on Wednesday and then almost posted a “Triple- Double on Friday (12 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 blocked shots). Ray has really shown that she is a defensive force, and offensively, her Stretch-4 ability is insane. That jump shot looks smoother and smoother every time I see her play. She was locked in all week and set her self apart from the competition. She shot threes, converted the up and unders, the pivots, the step throughs, and the step backs. On defense she blocked everything in her site.
Terrell McCoy Terrell McCoy 6'0" | PF Bolles | 2026 State FL is for real and it was apparent against cross town Rival Bishop Kenny. McCoy at times was the most dominant player on the court and opened eyes on both sides of the court. She finished with 11 points and 5 rebounds and had a strong paint presence that kept players from penetrating through the middle.
Clare Coyle Clare Coyle 6'1" | PF Bishop Kenny | 2024 State FL battled foul trouble against Bolles but she was still a force when on the court and posted a ten rebound- ten point performance, AKA a double-double. Coyle was money down the stretch, and made some key baskets on drives to the basket, including the go ahead game winning basket. Coyle rebounded well, and was good on defense, in the paint and on the perimeter.
TaCarri Neal TaCarri Neal 6'0" | C University Christian | 2025 State FL put in one of her best performances of the season and helped take down one of the First Coast’s top ranked teams in Ridgeview. Neal knocked down 14 points and was pivotal on the defensive end against the Blocton sisters. Neal also reached double digits in rebounds Neal showed a high basketball IQ with her anticipation and understanding of situational basketball.
Sydney Roundtree Sydney Roundtree 6'0" | PF Bishop Kenny | 2024 State FL played well and showed a range of versatility, guarding the point guard on defense and rebounding and scoring in the paint on offense. Roundtree also made some nice passes to cutting teammates, especially in transition. She has always done a very good job of passing the ball and that part of her game has not gone unnoticed. Roundtree finished with 9 points and 3 assists in a very solid performance.
