More High School Teams To Watch For This Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Menchville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 757 public school teams in the area! They are led by James Madison commit [player_tooltip player_id='383833' first='Maddie' last='Leach'], who is recognized as a top-10 player in the 2026 class in the state of Virginia. They also have a talent at the point guard position. [player_tooltip player_id='625068' first='JaiDen' last='Rhodes'] is a good two-way player who can score as well, but this team will need offensive production from [player_tooltip player_id='443377' first='Ta'Nya' last='Henson'] she's already a great rebounder and can run the floor and is a really good shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grassfield</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team will get a big boost with the transfer of Liberty commit Ellery Eiddens. They have great senior leadership starting with point guard [player_tooltip player_id='376326' first='Lauren' last='Priester'] who is quick and fast with the ball in her hand. [player_tooltip player_id='832428' first='Khadijah' last='Rashid'] is an athletic stretch four that can get up and down the court. And rounding off a solid four-player attack [player_tooltip player_id='748996' first='Avia' last='Scruggs'] who may be the more versatile piece on this team!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kings Fork</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another talented 757 team that arguably may have the best guard talent in the area. Senior guard Rylite Hite has solidified herself as one of the top guards in the state of Virginia. [player_tooltip player_id='808840' first='Jazlyn' last='Hubbard'] is a great two-way player who can put pressure on any defense with the addition of transfer [player_tooltip player_id='898278' first='Brittany' last='Evans'] gives this team a great scoring threat on the perimeter. Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='541415' first='Kennedi' last='Young'] could be a key piece to this puzzle with steady consistent, play throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TPLS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team is led by three-year starter [player_tooltip player_id='383625' first='VaNyah' last='Otey'] who is a good three-level scorer! [player_tooltip player_id='599110' first='Amaya' last='Ross'] at 6'1 is a true matchup nightmare on the wing and in the post. Zaniyah Williams is a good rim protector who runs the floor well and is starting to develop a three-point shot. First-year player [player_tooltip player_id='1058505' first='Aiyana' last='Demery'] has adjusted well and has earned the starting point guard position. Still, a very young team look for guards [player_tooltip player_id='1279917' first='Sundai' last='Matthews'] and [player_tooltip player_id='912148' first='Lailah' last='Williams'] to contribute and play heavy minutes throughout this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Paul IV</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team has some good strong, senior leadership! Led by James Madison commit [player_tooltip player_id='579891' first='Demi' last='Gilliam'] who is a complete two-way player. Second-year player with the program [player_tooltip player_id='468759' first='Sravya' last='Janapati'] who is headed to Brown University and who is deadly from three-point range more they likely will headline the scoring for this team. [player_tooltip player_id='670496' first='Sabrina' last='Eldredge'] adds even more firepower from the three-point line and [player_tooltip player_id='815660' first='Lyla' last='Ames'] a transfer from the 757 adds some much-needed help in the front court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Potomac school</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='633711' first='Sabrina' last='Anderson'] the best shooter in the state regardless of class will lead a young team this high school season. Returning player [player_tooltip player_id='751612' first='Mia' last='Morrill'] arguably the best pure athlete on the team brings back some experience from a year ago. Look for production from multiple freshmen on this team. Starting with [player_tooltip player_id='935989' first='Nyla' last='Curry'] good size at the wing position will play significant minutes. [player_tooltip player_id='972912' first='Makayla' last='Coleman'] has really good size to the front court at 6'1! [player_tooltip player_id='1058465' first='Lola' last='Burrell'] is a very consistent player and I won't be surprised if she has a breakout freshman campaign for this team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Osbourne Park</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defending state champions will definitely have a target on their back this season! We will have to wait and see if the do-it-all guard [player_tooltip player_id='749391' first='Payton' last='Walters'] will hit the floor sometime this season dealing with a knee injury from last year. Junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='786440' first='Janey' last='Salinas'] who came a big in the championship game last year who provides size and perimeter scoring. [player_tooltip player_id='376331' first='Jayel' last='West'] the Bridgewater commit brings experience and really good defense on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bishop O'Connell</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team has retooled and added some good talent to the roster. NJIT commit [player_tooltip player_id='474543' first='Carly' last='Sweazie'] is a good floor general for this program. [player_tooltip player_id='747629' first='Courtney' last='Breland'] a transfer from Hayfield High School brings much-needed size and scoring to the wing. First-year guard [player_tooltip player_id='1309794' first='Jaci' last='Criss'] looks is a really good dynamic player who will add scoring from the defense and transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>STAB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This might be a team that makes some serious noise this year! Already knocking off Winston Salem Christian, a national power! Sharp-shooter [player_tooltip player_id='304789' first='Keegan' last='Morris'] leads a team that has some really good seniors. Transfer [player_tooltip player_id='1160342' first='Jade' last='Wright'] brings some more size and athleticism to the front court. [player_tooltip player_id='755781' first='Zoe' last='Burruss'] is a legit bucket getter from the perimeter. And [player_tooltip player_id='661032' first='Harmony' last='Williams'], who may be this team's best player is a junior who can score and defend in the post!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
