The 802 View: Who You Need on Your Radar

Check out a well-rounded slate of tough players who are bound to provide what's asked of them. Lock in!   [player_tooltip player_id='645602' first='Cassidy' last='Kittredge'], 5'11 W - St. Johnsbury Academy Class of 2025   VT's deadeye shooter! Kittredge is a premier floor spacer, using her instincts well to find space off cuts and screens, finding those gaps for quick release catch and shoot jumpers. She knocks them down all over the floor, doesn't seem to matter the location. Moreover, she has the wit to backdoor opponents and puncture the 2nd layer for lays or dishes. Defensively adept, her length and size combined with her IQ equals tipped passes, blocked shots, and minimal air space. Clinical game.   [player_tooltip player_id='576153' first='Alexa' last='Rabidoux'], 5'8 G - Essex H.S. Class of 2025   Rabidoux takes the reins as EHS' primary playmaker and she's shown consistent scoring to start the year. I like seeing her in the open court, able to finish transition plays well with her finishing and feeds. Moreover, she can hit the 3, especially off the catch. Someone with good instincts too, she feels momentum and knows how to adapt, settle, and distribute. A pest defensively, she's known for her deflections, and in turn, transition playmaking.   [player_tooltip player_id='1263374' first='Mae' last='Yenkavitch'], 5'9 G - Burlington H.S. Class of 2027   It's two-way game all day with Mae. She's the one who often locks in on opponent's lead guards and for good reason. Her combination of length, size and athleticism causes so much disorder. Offenses can't organize well, rhythm is lost, and shots begin to be forced. She's strong rebounder from the perimeter too and knows how to run the break. Her scoring often comes in flurries, able to hit the 3 off the catch or slash to the cup for dynamic finishes. Mae is coming into her own.   Kelsie Rivard, 5'11 W - Hazen Union H.S. Class of 2027   There are some players you can't help but root for, Rivard is one. She plays full tilt each moment she's on the floor, seemingly everywhere at once. She's pressuring fullcourt, then sprinting to double when the press suggests it, or she's hustling inside to prevent an inside pass, force a steal or tough shot, then it's a board and she's going the other way. Her offense is polished all around, hitting jumpers from all over, efficient at the rim, good passing sense, and constant energy. Kelsie does it all.   [player_tooltip player_id='645704' first='Kaitlyn' last='Jovell'], 5'8 G - Champlain Valley Union H.S. Class of 2027   The combo-guard has increased ballhandling responsibility and she's handled it well. Yet she shines most at 2 I find, moving so intuitively off the ball, able to create space well coming off screens and landing on two feet ready to let it fly from range. The jumper is her most lethal tool, able to get hot in a hurry. On the other end, it's smarts on rotation and opponent tendencies that makes her so impactful, mucking up opponent offense. Solid and aware.   [player_tooltip player_id='645777' first='Bella' last='Schultz Mitchell'], 5'10 G/W - Mount Mansfield Union H.S. Class of 2025   I find Bella's game so intriguing. She's a sizable guard who organizes often, yet flows easily into playing the 2 or the 3. Her skillset covers all those positions; the handle and wit to organize the O, the off-ball movement and shooting to play the wing, and the physicality + finishing to get work done around the cup. She rebounds on both ends, captures 50/50s, and can fluctuate between being the first option or the third. A talented and adaptable presence.   [player_tooltip player_id='592897' first='Anna' last='Ebert'], 5'9 W - St. Johnsbury Academy Class of 2026   There's a toughness to Anna's game that's hard to ingrain. She's a strong, physical presence yet also quite adaptable. She heads the fullcourt zone defense, applying pressure and rotating into help and double teams, then will flow into owning the middle of the paint in their 2-3 zone. She attacks passing lanes, gets physical around the cup and rebounds. Then offensively, she's a physical slasher and flowing passer, balancing those aspects of her game well and discerning what's best moment to moment. Ebert is smart, physical, and does what's asked of her.
