<p>Schools with the bigger enrollment often dominate the headlines but the state is filled with quality small school talent. They deserve their fair share of attention as well. Here I take a look at some of the Juniors that thrive in the small school classifications.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Iza had a big sophomore season and looks to turn it up a notch as a junior. She does a little bit of everything from scoring to rebounding to passing. She will look to lead her team to a deeper playoff run in 2025.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gordon is part of the PCDS squad that is looking for a three peat this season. Gordon, the daughter of a coach, knows how to play the game and can shoot it from outside. With her championship experience, she will be leaned on even more this season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kylee is a versatile post player that will take on more of a leadership role for a Braves squad that made it to the 2A Final Four last season. She can score from the mid-range in and is a very good passer for her position.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Phillips is one of the leading returning scorers in 3A and she will be leaned on to produce just as much if not more. She is a quick point guard that puts pressure on the defense which creates opportunities for herself as well as her teammates.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Rylee is an experienced player that will look to help lead her squad into the postseason. She is a nice two-way guard that competes hard on both ends of the court. She is a good passer, and I wouldn't be surprised if she is among the leader in steals in ACP region. </p>
