The 2025 rankings update is here and it's full of high-performing guards. Take a look at the top 10 guards from the update, starting with 1 through 5. Stay on the lookout for the rest of the list in part two.   1. [player_tooltip player_id='580777' first='Grace' last='Hintz'] Lynden Christian   Hintz is an all-around guard who will give you tough minutes on both sides of the floor. She's a phenomenal shooter with a quick release time and some deep range, but she's also an excellent passer who reads the floor well even under pressure. It's no wonder she's among the top players in her class and she should help lead the Lyncs to another deep 1A tournament run this winter.   2. [player_tooltip player_id='366745' first='Brynna' last='Pukis'] Elite Prep   Another superb shooter, Pukis has a succinct shooting motion that allows her to get shots off quickly and consistently on target. She shows great touch from all ranges and really works well on and off the ball to find open spots in the defense for shots. She's a player who can attack gaps with the ball and has the toughness to go all the way or the poise to pull up in those short to intermediate spots, depending on how the defense plays her. She's a hard worker who had a great spring with NW Greyhounds.   3. [player_tooltip player_id='317648' first='Keirra' last='Thompson'] Camas   The top-rated pure point guard in her class, Thompson has shown her impact with back-to-back state title game appearances. She's able to attack every spot on the floor and makes every pass in the book. She has such a great feel for shifting defenders, getting to her spots, and while she's a pass-first guard, she has the skills to put in buckets at each level.   4. [player_tooltip player_id='317600' first='Keiara' last='Curtis'] Elite Prep   Curtis is a pacey guard with good vision off the bounce. She doesn't just make the right reads for herself off of screens, but anticipates where her teammates should go and finds them in stride and on target. She has a good handle to weave through traffic and really understands her teammates' strengths to get them the ball where they like it. Defensively, she's got quick hands, finds the ball on drives to get strips and tie-ups, and shows good instincts to help off and attack the ball.   5. [player_tooltip player_id='388789' first='Soraya' last='Ogaldez'] North Thurston   She's a long, shifty guard with a scoring mindset who averaged 26.9 PPG last season. She's really got a slick handle and can attack the slimmest of gaps. She finishes with athleticism at the cup and has good scoring balance with a nice outside shot and the range to hit from way back. Even with her scoring so much, she still averaged 4.5 assists and can whip passes into tight spots, finding teammates in good position to score.
