Spring Rankings Update: 2026 Shooting Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>March is here, which means it's time for the latest quarterly rankings update. 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 Shooting Guards 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":"12125","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"1286","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e7f3b7e27fe"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">NEWCOMERS:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1137282' first='Macie' last='Saalfrank'], 2026, 5-8 SG, Norwell H.S. - After barely playing as a Sophomore, Macie stepped up in a big way as a Junior. She was the Lady Knights' second leading scorer, and she helped them to a Class 3A State Championship. Macie is a knockdown shooter first and foremost. If she has any space and rhythm, watch out. Additionally, she has improved her ball-handling and playmaking, plus she has learned how to use her length defensively. As she continues to get stronger, she'll only become more consistent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1221113' first='Reese' last='Stonebraker'], 2026, 5-7 SG, Whitko H.S. - Reese transferred into Whitko last year as a Sophomore, and this season as a Junior, she really found her groove. She is a long, wiry athlete, she can attack the basket off the dribble, but this year she was a dangerous perimeter shooter as well. I like her energy and activity, plus she is willing to sit down and defend. From a recruiting standpoint, she's a little under the radar, but I think that will pick up as she plays this Spring and Summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+2">SGs OF NOTE:</font></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='773840' first='Mykayla' last='Mast'], 2026, 5-11 SG/SF, Westview H.S. - Mykayla missed a portion of this season with an injury, but she should be fine for the grassroots circuit. She is a long, wiry, smooth/fluid player who can knock down shots consistently outside or get to the basket off the dribble. She has a solid feel for the game, she is even somewhat crafty, and she seems to really enjoy playing. I also feel like she has the ability to become an even better defender, because she certainly has the physical tools to excel at that end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='624882' first='Addison' last='Smith'], 2026, 5-7 SG, Eastern H.S. (Pekin) - Addison transferred into Eastern from Providence this year, along with a couple of other players, and suddenly the Musketeers were back in contention. Addison specifically is a very active, fairly athletic guard who does a lot of things fairly well. She can slide over and play a little point when necessary, she's a solid attacker off the dribble, and she can make on open jumper when set and in rhythm. Addison is also an engaged defender who can play with versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
