2026 Rankings Updates – Powerful Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These forwards do so much for their respective teams on both sides of the ball. These six are big time players!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/dakotas/rankings/north-dakota-rankings/2026-rankings/">2026 Rankings - CLICK ME</a></span></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["469462"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677c3f0117665"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacie is one of the best rebounders I have ever watched. She is averaging over 13 rebounds per game with 3.6 coming off of offensive rebounds. She goes and grabs the ball with two hands and it is almost impossible for opponents to rip the ball away from her strong grasp. She is an effective finisher around the rim, shooting 48% from the field. Jacie is well on her way to earning a spot on the All-EDC team this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["469471"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677c3f01176bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Presley is a very athletic forward for the Firebirds. She moves extremely well and is a powerful player. Her on-ball defense is really impressive and she plays really hard. I like how she is able to put her head down and get to the rim on the offensive end. She is able to knock down outside shots and isn't afraid of the big moment. She made a key mid-range jump-shot that put Devils Lake in position to beat Valley City the other night. Presley was voted to the All-Tournament team last season when the Firebirds won the state title and will be critical for her team to have a chance at repeating this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["641206"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677c3f0117702"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Callen is a nice sized power forward for the Sheyenne Mustangs. She is an excellent athlete who runs the floor well and has a nice jumping ability. I really appreciate how hard she plays when she is out there. She is averaging a respectable 7.3 points per game and 3.2 rebounds per game. She is a really good free throw shooter as well, shooting 81% on the season. Callen is a very coachable athlete and someone I enjoy watching from the stands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["487016"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677c3f0117746"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cora is an incredible defensive presence down low with her height. She can alter shooters by the rim just be her intimidating height. Cora is one of the top rebounders in the EDC and does a nice job of keeping possessions alive. She has also become a threat from the perimeter, shooting 36% from behind the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["629949"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677c3f0117788"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talyn has been having a very nice season for the Fargo South Bruins. She is currently averaging 12.7 points per game, 9 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block per game. She is also making nearly 2.5 three-pointers per game. She is relied upon heavily on both sides of the floor. She handles the ball as the primary ball-handler for her team and is asked to create scoring opportunities as well. Talyn is a good sized Forward/Guard and moves well on the floor. I anticipate her having a good shot at making the All-EDC team this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493728"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677c3f01177c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emma can flat out play. She is the key piece to Glenburn's offense, attracting double and triple teams throughout the game. She is very good at finding her teammates for open looks off of those multiple defenders. I like how she is able to be physical around the rim on her defensive rebounding and immediately push the ball into transition. She is a very good passer and finisher as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
