Stock Rising 2027s

Prep Girls Hoops North Carolina is updating their rankings this month with the latest change coming to the 2027 class. We've already spoken some about the new names that were added to the list. The follow athletes are ones that you may already know but have certainly been working to raise their stocks over the past year.   North Lincoln made it to the 3A Final Four this year, and something tells me they will continue making deep runs in the playoffs with these three athletes. Here are notes from some of their playoff games.    [player_tooltip player_id='832257' first='Ally' last='Smith'] read the floor well being able to make a play getting the perfect pass to her teammates as they cut up the court, and she was aggressive with her own takes to the basket. She did a nice job using power dribbles in the paint off of offensive rebounds to go back up for her points. She had a nice jump stop pulling up for her jumper. She was getting her hands in the way knowing what her opponents were going to do. She even had a four point play making the deep shot through contact.     [player_tooltip player_id='832255' first='Addison' last='Grice'] was getting her hands in the way on defense, and these turnovers turned to offense as she filled the open lanes in transition. She made nice cuts getting lost and flashing in the paint to make a play. She seemed to always find her open teammates even with hands in her face.     [player_tooltip player_id='832253' first='Ashlyn' last='Black'] was using her height inside getting rebounds and going up strong for her points. She got lost by her defenders whether she was on the perimeter or sneaking down to the block. She anticipated passes on defense grabbing the steal on the full court press and putting it right back up. Her tough takes earned her some opportunities for extra points after the makes.     [player_tooltip player_id='891347' first='Kyndoll' last='English'] is a state champion with Grace Christian, and she is a major reason for that as many teams do not have answers for her. She does well taking up space on the block using her power and strength to get into position. She reads the floor well, too, knowing how to find the gaps, get the pass, and whip it around to another teammate or score it herself. She's strong on the boards on both ends of the court making sure her team always has a chance for the ball.
