<p class="text-gray-700">NaRiya had a great AAU season. She added to her offense with a nice midrange game and a more consistent long range jumper. Her ability to get into the lane and finish is really one of the best in the class. She is a dynamic defender and makes life miserable for whoever she is guarding. She will get her hands on passes and jump through the passing lane to steal a pass with ease. For her size , she rebounds better than a lot of post players. She debuts at #11 in the 2028 rankings. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Saw her first hand at the PGH Freshman Showcase...loved her upside! She has great length and can do a lot with the basketball in her hands. Runs the floor and can finish. She also has a perimeter game with range. Defends well both inside or out. Izzy begins her PGH career ranked #12 in Ohio. <em>(Feature photo </em>above)</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Part of a very talented freshman group in the Dayton area, Dez has the tools to make an impact on the varsity level right away at one of the top big schools in the region. Her ability to control the game is great and she can see the floor like a veteran. Gets to the rim to score and she has the ability to take her game to another level. Dez debuts at #13 in Ohio!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The SWBL better be ready for this freshman, a player who already plays above her years. Excellent frame to play a physical style of game, she can score in all three phases of the game. Good handles, plays with a high motor. Excited to watch her game continue to grow. She debuts at #14.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Rachel is a combo guard who plays the game with a lot of heart! She won't back down to anyone and can beat you in a variety of ways. She can knock down the three and has great handles with a high motor. She has a frame that allows to get to the rim and finish through the defensive pressure. She makes her mark at #15 in the first 2028 rankings. </p>
