Malia is definetkly a top player in the 2024 class and the entire state of Washington. Her footwork down low is impressive as she displays a plethora of post moves to get buckets on defenders. She steps out and knocks down mid range shots and the three with ease, scoring at all 3 levels at a high rate. Ruud is a lock down defender too, handling the paint nightly with no problem. She has an insanely bright future.
Highlights
Alana is a big paint presence for Ellensburg as she stands at 6’4″. There are very, very few players who can match up against her, so she is often left with a mismatch down in the paint. She has a nice touch around the rim and finishes at a high percentage, even through traffic. Defensively she blocks shots effectively and knows how to reads the ball off the rim well.
Lake Washington is filled with talent but they all balance each other out very nicely. Reese is a long, lanky wing who can play inside or out, being able to score from inside the paint or from beyond the three point line. Her versatility comes in handy as she can guard almost all positions on the court.
Payton was a big reason why the Lions went back to the state championship and won their first title since 2020. Mills is very well calculated and knows her strengths on the court. She finishes through traffic as she can adjust nicely and be strong enough to stand her presence in the paint. Mills is a focal point for this Lions offense and will only keep improving as the years go on. Finley Parcher Finley Parcher 6’0″ | SF Lynden | 2027 WA (2027) and Mills are going to be a top duo in the state for years to come.
Highlights
Jillea is an elite rebounder, boxing out and uses her body to her advantage on the glass. She scores from all three levels and has an elite mid-range shot. She can handle the ball like a guard or make smooth moves in the paint like a post. Fox does it all and is a big time player for the Golden Eagles. Be on the watch for her over the summer and for years to come.
