Brooke is one of the smoothest guards that you are going to find. Every time she drives, I think I repeatedly say; that was nice. Honestly, I am yet to see anyone stop her when she attacks the rim. Yes, she hauled in 12 rebounds and tallied in 18 points. However, I can see her going for 30 on a nightly basis if it was needed! She’s an exceptional rebounding guard! Nichelson is different. The athleticism, the hangtime, the skill level, the acrobatic finishes, and the list continues on. She’s truly a different athlete and she is going to make a college at the next level extremely happy! This one is elite!
This freshman will soon be a name known everywhere. I truly believe that Abby is one of the most talented overall athletes that you are going to find in a tough 2027 class! She’s an elite ball handler! The ability that Roberts has to change direction & speed is setting her a part from others. So many players play the game at one speed. You don’t have to worry about that with Abby! I wrote on X, “One of the best guards regardless of class… A great scorer! Elite!” I’ll stand by this too because the work ethic that Abby has to go along with her high IQ and skill level is unmatched by so many!
Highlights
What more can possibly be said about Karina Bystry Karina Bystry 5’10” | PG McMinn Central | 2025 State TN ? Yes, we have covered her 1,001 times now and deservingly so. She continues to put up big numbers against top tier talent. Whether it’s the Apache, the Miracle, or any other tournament, this one will continue to shoot the lights out! Opposing players and coaches know that she can shoot, but yet she still works hard to get open. She has a super quick release so she doesn’t need much time at all. When I read the stat line from game 2 where she dropped in 22 points on 5-7 shooting from 3, I was not surprised. This is what Karina continues to do. She’s an elite shooter. She’s elite!
I feel like every time that Jenna steps on the court, she leads the rebounding category! She has the ability to take over a game at any time. I’ve stated that she was a double-double machine and she is exactly that. It is not an easy stat to average a double-double. Johnson is one of the toughest players that you are going to find. She’s dynamic! She’s relentless! She’s an elite athlete that continues to fly under way too many college radars!
Highlights
Kristen Winston
Kristen Winston
I know, why would anyone put a 7th grader in this category? Winston is an incredible young athlete. Go watch her play, and you will see exactly why! She stands out amongst her peers! She’s long, she’s athletic, and she’s already highly skilled! Kristen is a ball savvy kid that will be one of the top 29’s in the entire country. This was my first time watching Winston, and I know why she already holds offers from Auburn, Alabama, & Mississippi State. I think every college coach across the country will be fighting for this young star!
Kennedy plays with so much passion on every possession! Again, she is great at attacking downhill. She’s an athlete that you can play tough defense on, but her strength, and ability to lift creates better offense! Stewart is always in attack mode. She is an elite ball handler that changes direction easily. She’s fully capable of knocking down the mid-range & the long ball! This one is a vocal, confident athlete! If you don’t have this sophomore on your radar, you need to ASAP. We are all going to continue to see her growth on the court!
Walden continues to prove why she is one of the top freshman. She played in numerous games on Saturday. She has shown time and time again that she can compete against anyone. She also played up against tough competition and sank in a few beautiful long balls! Every weekend a few of the same names are mentioned, and when you are a consistent scoring option, a consistent leader, and a consistent defender like Walden; you’ve earned it! This one is an elite difference maker, and she will continue to be at the top of many radars!
