The 2028 rankings update will be officially released next week and there are a lot of players who are going to start making names for themselves as they earn more and more playing time.   [player_tooltip player_id='985966' first='Cerise' last='Boyer'] - Sammamish HS - Boyer is going to see a bigger role on the offensive side and is ready for the varsity minutes. She is smooth with the ball, making the right choice more times than making the wrong one. She attacks with both hands and can change her pace quickly to keep defenders on their toes. She could surprise a lot of people but the team here at PGH won't be surprised.   [player_tooltip player_id='985978' first='Izzy' last='Russell'] - Mercer Island HS - Mercer Island is a young, tough squad who will see a lot of players progress in a big way next season. I think Russell will be one of those players to do so, especially with the departure of some key pieces. Russell is a tough defender and can guard multiple positions, making her a key component to the squad. She can shoot the ball lights out from deep, as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='985230' first='Stella' last='Kott'] - Lake Washington HS - Lake Washington is always filled with talent and next year won't be any different. Kott is a lengthy wing who scores the ball well but most importantly, knows her role on the team and plays unselfishly. She lets it fly from deep with no problem and has been working on making the rest of her offensive game well rounded. She fits in perfectly with the talent surrounding her.   [player_tooltip player_id='985986' first='Olivia' last='Wittren'] - Liberty HS - Olivia is a defensive minded player first, often turning defense into easy offensive buckets for herself or for her teammates. Her reaction time is quick and she dives for loose balls whenever they are on the court. She has a good shot from three point land, letting it fly if defenders play lazy and leave her open.
