<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='481390' first='Maliyah' last='Lofton']: 2026, Harvest Prep:</strong> Boy is she heating it up with her defense and bucket after bucket! Leadership skills, communicates well, recognizes when to slow down and set up offense. Excellent control of the ball- maneuvers around multiple defenders with ease! <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":926630,"width":"284px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_4218.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-926630" style="width:284px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 Monae Gamble: 2026, Harvest Prep</strong>: Plays with such great instinct, ultra quick feet and hands! So alert on the press, and will hound her opponents until they turn the ball over. She causes serious frustration defensively! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":926632,"width":"283px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_4180.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-926632" style="width:283px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#24 Serenity Bolden: 2026, Toledo Central Catholic:</strong> Bolden works hard to get open- light feet, great motor, and not afraid to take charge. She's often double teamed, but keeps her composure, and that says a lot! Great attack mode while penetrating inside the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":926633,"width":"288px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_4191.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-926633" style="width:288px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#23 [player_tooltip player_id='1054016' first='Charlotte' last='Dennis']: 2028, Unioto:</strong> Dennis has length, great agility, fights through screens. Consistently sets her teammates up for high percentage shots with her passes. Love her catch and finish inside- solid footwork already as a freshman! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":926634,"width":"282px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_4253.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-926634" style="width:282px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Keyairah Beard: 2028, Unioto:</strong> This young lady has that real emotional toughness! Plays with poise, facilitates the offense, and she flat out knows what to do with the basketball! Beard is a bucket from deep and will explode hard to the basket. <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":926635,"width":"286px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_4222.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-926635" style="width:286px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#22 [player_tooltip player_id='748902' first='Chayla' last='Rankin']: 2025, Olentangy: </strong>Incredible athlete. Period! Rankin, who just recently became the Division 1 State High Jump champion, can out jump and get from one end of the basket to the other in what feels like a second! Unreal asset to this team defensively, and has no problem scoring either! <em>(Below, boxing out)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":926641,"width":"290px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_5377.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-926641" style="width:290px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#10 [player_tooltip player_id='808867' first='Kareena' last='Agrawal']: 2027, Olentangy: </strong>This child is back- and man is she back better and stronger than ever! Kareena's the real deal! Smooth, quick trigger, mentally tough, major scoring machine, and eyes that can see anything from a mile away! Super bright future! <em>(Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":926693,"width":"290px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_5348_499a19.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-926693" style="width:290px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
