2027 Ranking - Who Moved Up | Prep Girls Hoops

The 2027 rankings came out recently, and we're taking a look at several players who made notable climbs and the reasons behind their rise. These athletes have shown clear growth in skill, impact, and consistency, and their momentum is beginning to separate them from the rest of their class.    Olivia has stepped up in a major way and delivered on both ends of the floor. She plays far bigger and more physically than her height suggests, and she's only beginning to pick up momentum. She's a true all-around athlete with an emerging feel for the game—reading the floor, anticipating rebounds, and handling pressure with confidence. If her trajectory continues, she has the tools to climb into top-five territory. She may not always be the leading scorer. Still, she and [player_tooltip player_id='1247151' first='Ellie' last='McArthur'] are rapidly becoming reliable offensive contributors. When you combine that duo with the already dominant [player_tooltip player_id='796472' first='Abigail' last='Christensen'], Fremont becomes incredibly difficult to slow down when all three are shooting well.     Daisy has been the primary scoring threat for Cedar Valley, even against some of the tougher opponents on their schedule. She's difficult to guard because she can create her own space off the dribble and get downhill with ease. And when she isn't finishing at the rim, she's flipping possessions with her pressure defense, forcing turnovers and disrupting offensive flow. If her trajectory continues, she's a player who could climb quickly in the rankings as the season progresses.     Malia continues to rise from her initial placement this summer, and her performances so far show she's nowhere near finished climbing. She's been a primary contributor for North Sanpete, consistently producing on both ends of the floor. While her height may cap her ceiling in some evaluators' eyes, her skill set tells a different story — she turns pressure defense into instant offense, plays with pace, and rarely wastes a possession. Her instincts and competitiveness make her one of the more intriguing prospects in her class, and if her trajectory holds, she'll keep pushing her way up the board.     Kaylee has been steering Mountain Ridge through some tough matchups this season, and her impact is hard to miss. Her speed with the ball allows her to dictate tempo and get the offense flowing exactly where she wants it. She has a smooth catch-and-shoot release, and her on-ball defense is relentless, constantly applying pressure and forcing opponents into mistakes. When she's not on the floor, the entire pace and rhythm of Mountain Ridge's attack noticeably drops, making her one of the team's true engines.     One of the biggest risers in the top 10 is Avery — and anyone who has watched her this season understands exactly why. She plays with an elite motor and a tight handle, navigating anywhere she wants on the floor and breaking down defenders regardless of their size. If her defender gives even a sliver of space, she'll punish it by pulling from deep without hesitation. She's the engine of Westlake's offense, their most dynamic scoring threat, and her continued growth as both a playmaker and leader has elevated the entire program.
