SVL 2024 PRE-SEASON POWER RANKING & ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Women's college basketball pre-season polls and pre-season all-conference selections are flooding the internet. In addition to the 2024-25 conference preview articles, I thought it would be worthwhile to release power rankings and all-conference selections to build excitement heading into the winter season. The Saginaw Valley League teams have been ranked 1-12, based on who I believe wins each matchup and would have the better pre-season power rating heading into the 2024 season. Transfers, incoming freshmen, head coaching changes, and observed progress during the off-season are all taken into account.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/2024-season-preview-saginaw-valley-league-north/">SVL NORTH PREVIEW ARTICLE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/2024-season-preview-svl-south/">SVL SOUTH PREVIEW ARTICLE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2024-25 SVL PRE-SEASON POWER RANKING</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.

There are 20 girls who earn All-Conference First or Second Team Honors. My goal was to determine around 20 players throughout the conference who are not only great players, but who will also be crucial to their team's success this season. There were some girls left off the list who I do believe will be important this season and could easily be regarded as a top 20 player in the conference. The nature of nominations is to be selective and the players included are those I feel will be All-Conference candidates at the end of the 2024 season, based on their performance this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2024-25 SVL PRE-SEASON ALL-CONFERENCE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>SVL PRE-SEASON MVP: [player_tooltip player_id='613424' first='Kendyl' last='Smith'] 2026 Flint Powers Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FIRST-TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='908941' first='Tiareyona' last='Holmes'] 2025 Bay City Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='613943' first='Alesia' last='Ode'] 2026 Saginaw Heritage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='933013' first='Joslyn' last='Ode'] 2028 Saginaw Heritage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='419538' first='Rayven' last='McQueen'] 2025 Grand Blanc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='424147' first='Payton' last='Palmer'] 2025 Midland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='502319' first='Paige' last='Ringwelski'] 2026 Flint Powers Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='613424' first='Kendyl' last='Smith'] 2026 Flint Powers Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='912522' first='Maraeyah' last='Smith'] 2027 Flint Carmain-Ainsworth</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='932758' first='Evah' last='Smith'] 2028 Flint Powers Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='866019' first='Allie' last='Stockton'] 2027 Midland Dow</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SECOND-TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='932751' first='Ellee' last='Arnold'] 2028 Midland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='613004' first='Dalton' last='Deboer'] 2025 Midland Dow</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='336004' first='Jordyn' last='Egger'] 2025 Mount Pleasant</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='336000' first='Damaya' last='Hartwick'] 2025 Grand Blanc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='908135' first='Jayla' last='Laster'] 2028 Saginaw Heritage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='502320' first='Parc' last='Liggins'] 2026 Grand Blanc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='933016' first='Zariya' last='McCrary'] 2028 Saginaw Heritage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='898878' first='Kaiya' last='Mahabir'] 2028 Midland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='854703' first='Ava' last='Petrino'] 2025 Mount Pleasant</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='923880' first='Savannah' last='Rice'] 2027 Davison</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">At the Buzzer</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evan Bell</strong>&nbsp;is currently a scout for Prep Girls Hoops and Director of&nbsp;<a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='923712' first='Prepare' last='2 Win Basketball']</strong></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;.
