With the 2026 rankings being updated soon by the Prep Girls Washington team, here are a handful of players in the 2026 class who are candidates to rise when they are updated.   [player_tooltip player_id='579811' first='Deets' last='Parrish-Nagle'] - Wapato HS - Even though she is ranked in the top 20, I could still see her rising when the rankings come out. She stepped up big when the team needed her, having a high motor on both sides of the ball. She facilitates the offense smoothly and knows how to attack the weak spots in the defense. Her defensive game is up there with the best in the class, she displayed that when playing top player [player_tooltip player_id='281968' first='Devin' last='Coppinger'], holding her to under her average.   [player_tooltip player_id='585033' first='Zoey' last='Ritter'] - Glacier Peak HS - Zoey is a confident guard, being able to make many big plays for her team. She sets up her teammates for easy shots and knows how to pick apart opposing defenses with her elite vision on the court. She has a solid shot from deep and will continue to showcase her elite game during the AAU season.   [player_tooltip player_id='666164' first='Carmen' last='Derda'] - West Seattle HS - She defends at a high level, having the athleticism to play multiple positions. She finishes around the rim nicely and finds the weak spots in the defenses smoothly. Derda is going to continue to have a bigger role with West Seattle when she returns from her injury and will continue to make her game more well rounded when back in action.   [player_tooltip player_id='584240' first='Ella' last='Fritts'] - Lynden Christian HS - Ella plays hard every game, all game long. She fights through screens and plays physical defense for the Lyncs, being a big difference maker. Offensively, she fills her role perfectly playing alongside Hintz, a top player in the 2025 class. Fritts will see a rise in her offensive role next season but will showcase a solid ability at scoring the ball.
