Well, we don't know who is landing the young star, but I will definitely be a fan of [player_tooltip player_id='408995' first='Reese' last='Beaty']'s at the next level! This athlete is different! She has what it takes to be a great collegiate player!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Region Most Improved Player</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dycus:&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='816611' first='Raylee' last='Werner'], ‘26, York– She's a do-it-all PG that impacts winning on both sides of the ball.&nbsp; She's one of the better on the ball defenders in her class.&nbsp; Offensively, she's got incredibly tight handles, throws passes on a rope, and knows who is going to be open, when, and why.&nbsp; Understands the game at a high level.&nbsp; I thought played her best basketball of the season in March, and had 18 points in their sub-state win.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dycus Honorable Mention:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='746202' first='Emma' last='Cooper'], ‘26, York– The 6'1 posts really took another leap forward toward her potential this year.&nbsp; Defensively, she can control a game with her length and fight.&nbsp; Offensively, she really developed this season into a much more consistent scorer around the rim for York.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meade:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can't ever go wrong with picking any of the York players.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='409040' first='Karly' last='Ramsey'], ‘25, Smith County- The 5'6 guard may be one of the most underrated guards in the state. A physical, smart guard that has improved her play in all aspects. She has added to her high motor with being able to knock down shots consistently too!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Region Freshman of the Year</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dycus- [player_tooltip player_id='831251' first='Zoe' last='Gibson'], ‘27, York– Incredibly athletic, and is a high level scorer.&nbsp; Has the size and length to be a switchable defender, and really helped York on that end of the floor.&nbsp; Offensively, played her role well, and show flashes as a big time shot maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meade:&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>I agree again! Gibson has great size and length at 5'10! She was an MVP in her role all season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Region Players to Watch Next Season</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='816715' first='Emma' last='Pile'], ‘26, York - The 2026 guard has had a great spring for [program_tooltip program_id='712979' first='TN' last='Rush'], and I'm expecting a breakout season for her!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I would keep my eyes on the youth in this region. Especially the youth at York! Smith County also has some upcoming talent to make note of!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Regions Most Fun Team To Cover–</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meade: This is an easy one for me! I loved watching and covering York! I turned the phone on to watch without reporting sometimes. An exciting team to watch!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
