April Rankings Update: 27′ Combo Guards Pt 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024-25 high school season has reached its end. Travel teams are practicing and tournaments are picking up steam heading into mid-April. Several combo guards earned a higher ranking because of performances during our latest evaluation cycle–here are the girls who particularly stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2027","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12121","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"3","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f94722a3eab"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751130"],"_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-67f51b8ecbe75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allie was dominant for an excellent St. Mary's Prep squad this season. She was a major contributor in every category for the Eaglets, averaging 16.5 points (48% FG%), 6.5 rebounds, four assists, and four steals per game. Allie is a marksman from 3-point range with shifty ball-handling moves that make her an effective downhill scorer. She was a PGH Sophomore Player of the Year Finalist and will be an exciting addition to the Mystics-P24-2027 team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866189"],"_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-67f51b8ecbeea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elliana earned SAC-Valley All-Conference First Team honors and was a major contributor for Kalamazoo Christian this season. She stepped up for the Comets with 16 points, eight rebounds, and four steals during a victory against Calvin Christian. Against state semifinalist DEPSA, Elliana flexed her muscles--leading the team with 22 points with seven boards. Elliana is long and athletic. She pursues the ball sideline to sideline, scores driving hard to the basket, and knocks perimeter jumpers. She'll be an exciting guard to watch for MBA-UAA-2027 this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/06/hopkins-shootout-standouts/">Read More About Elliana</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865143"],"_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-67f51b8ecbf35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aleeah had a fantastic sophomore season for Chelse, earning SEC-White All-Conference First Team honors. She stepped up when it mattered most in the playoffs. Aleeah made smart reads off the ball, scoring off backdoor cuts, finishing strong through contact, converting free throws efficiently, and draining three-point jumpers. Aleeah will be competing with Legends U again this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750259"],"_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-67f51b8ecbf7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As expected, Olivia relished her expanded roles this season and helped the Rams win a third straight district title. She paced the team with 14 points in their district final win vs. Mason. In a statement win vs. Grand Rapids Catholic Central, Olivia gave the team a spark on both ends with 12 points, seven steals, and six assists. Olivia changes directions quickly and is a three-level scorer. Her athleticism gives opposing ball-handlers fits and she'll be a guard to watch this spring for [program_tooltip program_id='1226083' first='West' last='Michigan Drive']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/11/2024-25-season-preview-caac-blue/">Read More About Olivia</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866019"],"_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-67f51b8ecbfbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allie was one of the biggest risers in our latest update and for good reason. She looked solid during the travel season and followed that up with a dominant SVL All-Conference First Team performance for Midland Dow. Allie chases the ball baseline to baseline with an ultra-competitive style that's fun to watch. Guards don't typically lead the team in rebounding, but that's precisely what Allie did for the Chargers. She contributed in every statistical category, averaging 15.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.9 steals, and 2.3 assists per game. Allie fueled an underdog playoff victory with 21 points against Midland--helping Dow secure their 7th straight district title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/11/mid-michigan-mega-scrimmage-reppin-the-valley/">Read More About Allie </a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992172"],"_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-67f51b8ecc006"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Layla made a great impression using her athleticism and dynamic driving abilities at R4TR with [program_tooltip program_id='713193' first='Michigan' last='Goonies'] last year--she showed those qualities again for Romeo this season. Layla demonstrated her multidimensional impact during a double-double performance vs. Grosse Pointe South. She produced 13 points, 12 rebounds, and snagged seven steals. Layla crossed over a defender, accelerated toward the rim, and quickly transferred the ball to her right hand for a soft layup off the glass. She knocks down triples using a smooth step-back dribble and causes turnovers with her pesky defense. Layla will be a guard to watch for the Goonies this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/r4tr-championship-2027-mitten-prospects/">Read More About Layla</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
