<p>As mentioned in part 1 of our coverage of unsigned seniors on Tuesday, the first few weeks of the high school season is a great time to highlight players in their final varsity seasons who have yet to announce their college commitments. Over the weekend we went to the annual Pat Patterson Tournament at Hamline University in St. Paul and saw many prospects who fit the bill. In part 1 we covered players from DeLaSalle, Lakeville South, Orono, Two Rivers, and Waconia, all of whom had standout performances over Thanksgiving weekend. In today's coverage we'll take a look at a few more players, all who have yet to officially announce their college decision. </p>

<p>Following her record-setting performance against Providence Academy last Tuesday where she dropped a whopping 39 points and shot a perfect 20-for-20 from the free throw line, Goodman played a key role for Eastview yet again at the Pat Patterson Tournament. The quick, crafty point guard showed off her tight handle on the ball, expansive court vision, and provided hustle plays all weekend long. On the offensive end, Clara attacked the basket with a full head of steam, finishing through contact at the rim. She also showed off her characteristic, long-range three-point shot on several occasions. In Friday's win over Rochester Mayo, Goodman dropped 13 points. She is currently leading the Lightning in scoring, averaging 18 points per game. An announcement of Goodman's college choice is imminent.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515688' first='Lexie' last='Mathews'] – 2026 Wing, Eastview</strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 35th-ranked prospect in the senior class, Mathews is one of just nine players among the Prep Girls Hoops top 50 who has yet to announce their college commitment. The 5'11, lengthy wing is a high-level athlete who consistently provides a spark for the Lightning. Lexie is a versatile, active defender who uses her speed and length to create turnovers. She's bouncy, light on her feet, and excels as a perimeter defender. On the offensive end, the Eastview senior sees the floor well, is a willing and capable passer, and is able to score from any spot in the half court. Mathews plays the game with joy and is a true leader on the floor – something we never grow tired of watching. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='782565' first='Maya' last='Jenkins'] – 2026 Wing/Forward, Eastview</strong></p>

<p>A lengthy rim protector and standout defender, Jenkins was a standout performer at the Pat Patterson Tournament. The 6'0 forward was highly active on the defensive end, blocking shots, and relentlessly battling for boards all weekend long. On the other end of the floor, Maya provided a major spark for the Eastview squad. In Friday's matchup against Rochester Mayo, she showed off her smooth shot in the midrange and ability to finish through contact at the rim. When she gets the ball down low, Jenkins takes a simple but highly effective approach towards her post footwork, using fundamental moves to get around her defender and create an open look. She contributed a season-high 14 points in the win over the Spartans.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='717665' first='Kate' last='Lee'] – 2026 Guard, Centennial</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>The lanky senior guard (pictured above) was highly impactful for Centennial in the entertaining matchup against Chaska at the Pat Patterson Tournament. Lee, who contributed 16 points for the Cougars, looked to score early and often. The 5'9 guard attacked the basket with a full head of steam, using her explosiveness and quick first step to blow by defenders and get to the rim. Kate also showed off her smooth, silky three-point ability, hitting several shots from beyond the arc. In addition to her scoring, the Cougars senior handled the ball with confidence, was aggressive on the boards, and used her long frame to help create stops on the defensive end. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='772238' first='Kaylin' last='Green'] – 2026 Guard, Centennial</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Green was on her A-game on Friday night, leading the way for Centennial in their matchup against Chaska. Standing at 5'6, this scrappy, quick guard plays with a never-ending motor. We saw plenty of that on Friday night; Kaylin wrestled for loose balls, generated stops on defense, and pushed the pace in transition. In the half court, the Cougars senior used her speed and crafty handle to blow by defenders on her way to the rim. Green also showed off her keen court vision and strong passing abilities, finding open teammates and delivering the ball on a dime. She finished with a team-high 19 points in the matchup against the Hawks.</p>
