She is a multi-level scorer with unlimited range from behind the arc and craftiness off the bounce. She is a lead guard who can facilitate, but she really stands out at being able to go and get a bucket. She is highly skilled and has a toolkit with a deep-scoring arsenal.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1038997' first='Heaven' last='Bailey']</strong> (5'6/PG/2027/Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: hbailey0213</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @0213HLB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Heaven is a talented PG who is extremely reliable and trustworthy at the lead guard position. She is an unselfish floor general who knows how to distribute the rock and get everyone involved. She has a high PG IQ and is a really good decision-maker with the rock. She is crafty off the bounce and does a good job keeping her head up when attacking, which helps her to locate teammates. She is very comfortable orchestrating the offense and is one of the brightest basketball minds in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='568877' first='Kayden' last='Carr']</strong> (5'10/CG/2027/Prattville Christian Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Kayden_carr_27_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Kaydenbballer27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking #3:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kayden is a backcourt talent with positional size who can play on and off the ball. She is a high-volume scorer who can score from all levels. She has really good instincts on both ends of the floor. She has a high understanding of the game, especially on the offensive end of the floor, as she knows how to create spacing for her teammates and find openings in the defense, which she knows how to exploit. Scoring is the strength of her game, and she does it in a variety of ways.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='981283' first='Natalie' last='Barton']</strong> (5'8/PG/2027/Saint James School)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: natbarton_2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @natbarton_2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Let me just say this about Natalie, she is one of the best shooters from behind the arc in the state. She can get it done from deep, whether she is wide open or shooting over length with a hand in her face. Her perimeter jumper is her bread and butter, and being an elite shooter is what has her in the #4 spot of the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Derryn "DC" Goode</strong> (5'7/CG/2027/Hazel Green HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: dcvstheworldonline</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @dcvstheworldtv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking #5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Derryn is a small combo guard who impacts both ends of the floor. She has a really nice scoring ability and is a highly disruptive and irritant on defense. She is gutsy, plays extremely hard, and competes every minute she is on the floor. She scores it well at all levels and has a really quick release on her jumper. She is a winner and has proven that she is not intimidated by anyone and does not back down from anyone. She has a confident and fearless demeanor, and her game can be characterized in the same way.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='381324' first='Sawyer' last='Kate Hulgan']</strong> (5'9/SF/2027/Plainview HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: skhulgan13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @SawyerKate13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sayer is a wing who can easily make a case as one of the best three-point shooters in the state, as she has proven it on the biggest stage of the year. During last year's Final Four, she went for 28pts and went 8-12 from behind the arc. You don't have to look any further than her perimeter shooting to see why she stands out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
