Here is part two of the top 10 forwards in the 2025 class.

[player_tooltip player_id='584642' first='Julie' last='Dalan'] W F West   Dalan is a worker down low for the Bearcats, both scoring and blocking shots. She's got a strong base and isn't easily moved. She attacks shots on defense, has the balance, poise, and feet to work at her pace on offense, and is really a rock for them on both ends of the floor. She's yet another post player in this class making waves with offers from Seattle University, Cal Poly, and University of Portland.   7. [player_tooltip player_id='590249' first='Lay'lee' last='Dixon'] Prosser   Both Dixon and Prosser are primed for big seasons this winter. She put up 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game last season but she has a chance to up each of those in her senior year. She's a long forward who can really move. She's a track star on the break and does a great job running to the rim in transition and making well-timed dives in the halfcourt, but she's also shown a nice stroke off the dribble from both the midrange and 3-point.   8. [player_tooltip player_id='592523' first='Alana' last='Marrs'] Ellensburg   Yet another Marrs leaving her mark at Ellensburg, the 6-foot-4 forward helped the Bulldogs reach their third straight 2A title game last season. Physically, it's just a tough matchup for most players. She has great upper body strength that allows her to rip rebounds away and lean on defenders in the post. She does a great job covering the paint defensively, moving side to side, top to bottom, and forcing players into tough shots by playing straight up and trusting her length.   9. [player_tooltip player_id='660342' first='Grace' last='Renners'] Seattle Prep   Renners is the type of forward who can really control the pace of the game with her work on the glass and calm presence on the ball. She has the poise and ball skills to hit key passes both in the halfcourt and up the floor in transition. She doesn't get sped up easily and is solid with the ball in high-traffic areas. Renners is a reliable scorer in the paint and also can knock a few down from behind the arc.   10. [player_tooltip player_id='589899' first='Kierra' last='Reese'] Arlington   She's a pretty high IQ player who reads the floor well to make impact passes and cuts, and is decisive with the ball, establishing a good flow to the offense. She's a key member of an Arlington squad that will need some players to step up next season, and Reese could be a player they look to. She can hit the 3, shows good touch in the paint, and with those short to midrange jumpers.   Next up: [player_tooltip player_id='398201' first='Alyssa' last='Neumann'] Central Kitsap, [player_tooltip player_id='592775' first='Sammie' last='Thoma'] Glacier Peak, [player_tooltip player_id='730304' first='Reese' last='Roberts'] Lake Washington, [player_tooltip player_id='591806' first='Carmayla' last='Jackson'] Lincoln (Tacoma)
