They have some scrappy players and Talya is the leader of the troops in that department. She's a great teammate, plus she can be trusted to give forth a full effort no matter the situation. She's a smaller guard, but that doesn't affect her ability to influence the game. Tayla can provide a genuine spark on both ends.     [player_tooltip player_id='486081' first='Nora' last='Simpson'] (2026) | 5'4 PG | Arlington Catholic   Nora is a well-versed primary ballhandler and initiator that merits some attention for her skillset. Simpson can fill up the stat-sheet; her experience plus understanding of the game propels her in situations others may struggle with. She was recently offered from Brandeis and other regional schools should be sure to follow after a successful senior campaign.     [player_tooltip player_id='1220501' first='Lara' last='Young'] (2026) | 5'11 SF | GCDS   A multisport athlete who competes hard on the court. Young is a great teammate that'll do the small things on the floor. She's smart and physical, so she can be a useful perimeter player. GCGS will surely utilize her services as they look to come out strong this upcoming season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1005188' first='Maryna' last='Yuzhda'] (2026) | 5'11 Forward | King Phillip   Not one to put up glittering numbers, but Maryna does make an impact even though it doesn't always show up. Particularly on the defensive side of the ball, Yuzhda has a knack for making those she's guarding uncomfortable. Maryna is physically intimidating down low and even has the ability to guard outside on the perimeter too. She's liable to force some form of turnover through the course of the game.     [player_tooltip player_id='635534' first='Jalisa' last='Matthews'] (2026) | 5'6 CG | Granby   A left guard that can let it fly from deep and is pretty accurate from that range. Matthews is comfortable around the perimeter, but she does attack the rim too. Jalisa can also be helpful defender, giving effort towards affecting shot-makers as well as hustling to 50/50 balls.
