<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the next rankings update a little more than a month away I wanted highlight some players in the class of 2026 that are currently ranked outside the top 100 but could make a jump on the next update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502283"],"_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-67a29da51a40a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shyla has come into her own in her first season for the Lady Cats. She leads the team in scoring with 15.1 points per game and has made a key contribution all season. Shyla is a skilled ball handler and a really good passer who knows how to draw a crowd and dish it to open teammates. She is an efficient shooter from the mid-range area and from 3-point land and I like how hard she works for rebounds and the way she gets after it on the defensive side of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>29 points, 8 rebounds vs Pike County Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>23 points, 5 rebounds, 4 threes vs Belfry</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>16 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals vs Paintsville </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["834633"],"_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-678239e79b40f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Izzy's size and versatile offensive game makes her a matchup nightmare. She poses a threat to score in the interior and from the perimeter. Izzy can shoot the 3, drive hard to the cup or convert inside using a arsenal of post moves. She is a great rebounder and she can switch on to multiple positions on defense. Izzy leads the Lady Mustangs with 13.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.

The 6'2 center averages double-digit points (11.7) and rebounds (10.3), leading her team in both categories this season. ShaMari has good size and is very skilled. She can handle the ball, finish well around the basket and flashes a soft shooting touch from the outside. She competes extremely hard on the glass and she comes up with a lot of steals on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>25 points, 11 rebounds, 9/12 FT's vs John Hardin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>18 points, 14 rebounds vs Waggener</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>20 points, 10 rebounds vs Manual</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["566168"],"_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-67a4254d4833e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ja'Mya is a wing player with good size and athleticism. She is hard to stop when puts her head down and attacks the rim. She able to absorb contact and still finish in the paint. Ja'Mya runs floor with all her might and she excels at scoring in transition. She is also a really good rebounder in her own right. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Notable Performances:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>16 points, 10 rebounds vs Power Academy </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>16 points, 7 rebounds vs Butler County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>15 points, 10 rebounds vs Ohio County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["493166"],"_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-67a430ba731a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='493166' first='Ciara' last='Rudolph'] as been a key player for the 16-6 Central Yellowjackets, averaging 9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season.
