<p class="text-gray-700">Southwestern might just have one of the top post players in the 2028 class in [player_tooltip player_id='963027' first='McKaila' last='Monroe']. The former 2x Middle School State Champion, has terrific size, length, and a versatile skillset. She finishes well around the rim and is capable of knocking down perimeter jumpers. McKaila provides an intimidating presence on defense and does a good job using her length to block shots inside and alter shots at the perimeter. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='902346' first='Jooniper' last='Strow'] is one of the bright young talents coming out the western part of Kentucky. She was second in points per game (7.9) and the 4th leading rebounder (4.1) for South Warren in the 2023-2024 season. She scores well inside, but can also space the floor with her outside shooting touch. Jooniper was a key player for the Lady Spartans as an 8th grader, and I expect her to step into an even bigger role as a freshman. (Featured Image)</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lee County has a budding young star on their hands in freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1049640' first='Natalie' last='Reed']. As an 8th grader, Natalie averaged 8.5 points and a whopping 14.4 rebounds per game. She finished as a top 50 rebounder in the state and made the 56th All-District team along the way.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='788738' first='Rilee' last='Ross'] is a two-sport athlete who shines on the softball field and on the hardwood. Rilee was also key contributor on that 8th grade state championship team. She should see more Varsity minutes for Lady Maroons in her freshman season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='899749' first='Abigail' last='Copher'] has very good size, long arms, and is a force in the interior on both ends. She scores at a high percentage in the post, and has no issue getting up and down the floor. Abigail gets busy on the boards, and her presence in the paint alone on defense makes it hard to get anything at the rim.</p>
