[player_tooltip player_id='1060408' first='Mackenzie' last='Martinez'] (2028) | 5'4 SG | Tabor   An extremely hardworking adaptable guard that will do whatever it takes to get the win. Mackenzie gets the job done and doesn't care how it looks. Her 2-way abilities allowed her to add value to one of the most talented teams in the region. Getting minutes alongside a McDonald's All-American is an impressive feat. She's proved throughout this season to be one of the top overall guards in the class. Martinez has moved up in rankings to #24 and #2 at her position.     [player_tooltip player_id='975842' first='Gabriella' last='Ravosa'] (2028) | 5'11 Forward | WMA   Ravosa has shown much improvement over the year from AAU through the season. Sort of a 'jack of all trades' type of player; the 5'11 forward is a quality rebounder, a connective passer and brings a ton of energy to the game. One of Ravosa's most notable qualities is her stifling defense though. She has the potential to guard up to 4 different positions. Her speed and length combined make a disruptive defensive weapon. Gabriella is a tremendous playmaker on this side of the ball that makes timely blocks and steals. It's impressive to see a freshman get after it the way she does. She's the #31 ranked player in the class.     [player_tooltip player_id='1005123' first='Brooke' last='Bodnar'] (2028) | 5'9 Guard | Thorton   Brooke is a steady and reliable player that leads to winning basketball with her versatile skillset. She keeps her options open with the ball in her hands, which fares well in the decision-making category. Bodnar has quick touch passes along with advanced vision that help feed her teammates. The ball doesn't stick with Brooke for too long and when she decides to commit to the rim or get to her shot, its usually a quality look. Brooke's defense isn't something to be overlooked either. She shows a lot of effort and goes the extra mile to plug any holes in the team's defense. Bodnar was ranked #37 last update, she's now #34.     [player_tooltip player_id='975835' first='Nora' last='Conte'] (2028) | 5'7 CG | MSC   Nora was one of the leading factors in getting her V2 team the SENE Championship. Her impactful playmaking and up-tempo pace were on full display all season. Conte is a player to keep an eye on as the Spring season approaches. This is a player that's showed growth in her game over a short time. With the momentum in her favor, particular considering how effective she was postseason play, Nora's development has her worthy of moving up in the rankings. She's now risen to the #63 spot in the class and #18 at her position.     [player_tooltip player_id='772667' first='Ayla' last='Keefe'] (2028) | Guard/Wing | Newman   Keefe has arrived on the scene and made a huge impression early on. One look at her game and its clear why she's talked about in the way she is. Ayla provided Newman with the perimeter advantage many times in the season. The various ways she's able to put the ball in the basket is exceptionally noteworthy, especially bearing in mind that she's just a freshman. Keefe's game is well beyond her years. The different ways she can create her own shots are absolutely striking. She's very fast, so she can get through the lane swiftly and requires extra attention. This just opens things up for teammates around the floor. She gives defenders many different looks and players must be on their toes when guarding her. Ayla is ranked the #26 overall player in the class. Keep an eye on her though, she could quickly climb even higher.
