2028 Guards Who are Poised to Elevate Their Spotlight

Last year the 2028 class made it happen all around the State. There were a lot of Freshmen who made some small splashes or the occasional ripple, showing promise and undeniable talent. In this article, we recognize some of next year's Sophomore's who are looking come from under the radar. In this article we hilight some of these players as they head into a pivotal and important summer and show they are on par with their peers.    [player_tooltip player_id='1183397' first='Kai' last='Longmire'] was a defensive stopper at times last season and performed a lot of her work in the background.   Longmire is athletic and made her presence felt on the defensive end last season. She is athletic, fast, and very competitive .  We are looking to see Longmire lock down opponents with her aggressive defensive play and continue to develop on the offensive side of the ball.     [player_tooltip player_id='1003092' first='Hannah' last='Mallory'] is another Freshman to keep your eyes on over the summer period.   Mallory can shoot the ball and knows how to score going to the basket.   Defensively, Mallory plays aggressive on the ball and is quick to loose balls and lazy passes in the passing lane. Mallory has the potential to be more than a role player and it will start with confidence and consistency.     [player_tooltip player_id='1117349' first='Micah' last='Bussey'] had a few positive plays the few times I saw her last year.  She was composed in the big game pressure and handled the ball under a lot of pressure from the opposition.   Bussey is a confident shooter who can shoot the ball from multiple areas on the floor.   In  last years Christmas tournament, she knocked down some impressive shots - a baseline jumper and a floater in the paint. Bussey showcased great court vision and had the ability to make the pass.  This year after a good Freshman season, Bussey is poised for a bigger Sophomore season with more responsibilities.       [player_tooltip player_id='923090' first='Audrey' last='Rosendahl'] played well as a Freshman and turned it on even more down the stretch.  The young guard knocked down 17 threes, shot the three  ball at a 35 percent clip and 86 percent from the line. Rosendahl is an efficient young scorer.   Confidence, attacking the basket, and a year of experience will pay dividends for the young shooter this upcoming season.      [player_tooltip player_id='515000' first='Rainah' last='Small'] had a good Freshman season,  one that started with a bang at the Inside Exposure Thanksgiving tournament.  Small stepped on the big stage and didn't flinch.  She hit multiple three pointers against a defending State Championship team and went toe to toe against some other Freshmen in the State.  Small shot the three well and played great defense throughout the contest. She is poised for a breakout year that should see more consistent numbers and performances.
