With regard to the Class of 2026, this group will now be viewed under a microscope as they move to the forefront as prospects. Below is a look at the top Power Forwards in the state, with a handful of standouts and newcomers highlighted below that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2026","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12122","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"1286","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eac1a9d2760"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">NEWCOMER:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='486493' first='Audra' last='Parker'], 2026, 6-0 PF, Westfield H.S. - I saw Audra a year ago and thought she was close to cracking this list, but given another high school season to get stronger, more confident, and continue building her skillset, and she is a very intriguing forward who could draw a lot of small college interest this Spring &amp; Summer. She has a strong frame, she moves well in most directions, plus she is skilled. She can knock down the occasional open 3-pointer, but she's also a serious threat from the mid-post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">PFs OF NOTE:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1038858' first='Alyssa' last='Anderson'], 2026, 5-11 PF, Woodlan H.S. - Alyssa is a bit of an under-the-radar prospect who could draw a lot of small college attention with a good Spring &amp; Summer. She is long, wiry, but fluidly athletic and somewhat bouncy. She is extremely active and rarely gets outworked, she's willing to be physical to rebound, but she can also collect caroms outside of her area. I think she has the potential to step into the right small college situation and produce double-double averages early in her career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='486530' first='Alyx' last='Kendall'], 2026, 6-1 PF, Bishop Chatard H.S. - I can remember first watching Alyx as an incoming Freshman. Then after seeing her last July, I felt like she was primed to break out, and this Winter she was very good for the Lady Trojans. She has nice size, strength, but mobility/athleticism as well. She is skilled and can handle it a little, knock down an open rhythm jumper to the 3-point line, and she has good vision/awareness. She can also get inside, play physical, rebound, defend, and protect the paint. She is a good one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='761188' first='Rachel' last='Suttmann'], 2026, 6-0 PF, Oldenburg Academy - Rachel is another front-liner who I have been intrigued by but struggled to completely figure out. A couple of weeks ago when I saw her, I felt like she looked as steady, consistent, and confident as anytime I could remember. She was stronger and more physical, but she also flashed a much better skillset around the perimeter, as she handled it better, shot it better, and simply made better decisions with the ball. I think she's another intriguing small college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
