Queens of the Boards - Little Known Rebound Leaders

Bigger programs often dominate the headlines, but just as much work is being done at smaller schools by players quietly making their mark. Away from the spotlight, these athletes are grinding, competing, and stacking numbers at a high level. Today, we take a look at some of the state's rebounding leaders you may not know yet — but should.    12.4 RBG   [player_tooltip player_id='796816' first='Millie' last='Hicks'] has quietly become one of the most tenacious rebounders in Utah high school basketball. She consistently puts herself in position to clean the glass on both ends — using anticipation, hustle, and physicality to snag contested boards and extend possessions for her team. She reads the flight of the ball well, boxes out with intent, and isn't afraid to dive through traffic to secure the ball.     12.1 RPG   What makes Grace especially valuable is her versatility on the court. She doesn't just clean the glass; she also contributes all over the stat sheet, regularly logging assists and steals in addition to her rebounding work. As a senior leader, Grace's blend of size, instincts, and effort night after night sets the tone for her team and makes her one of the more under-the-radar yet statistically dominant frontcourt players in the state.     13.1 RPG   [player_tooltip player_id='879144' first='Jaycee' last='Barlow'] has emerged as one of the most effective rebounders in Utah girls basketball, consistently owning the glass on both ends of the floor. Her timing, positioning, and relentless motor allow her to battle through traffic, snatch contested boards, and immediately turn defense into opportunities on the offensive end. She competes with strength and leverage, using her body well to box out and create second-chance possessions for her team. Her rebounding not only fuels extra scoring opportunities but also helps set the pace in transition.     12.2 RPG   Josie is leading her team in both rebounds and blocks, and finds herself in the top 10 statewide for both stats. Josie has been consistently crashing the boards with strength, anticipation, and excellent timing. She uses her size and body control to secure position against opponents and consistently convert rebounds into extra possessions or put-backs. Her rebounding presence not only limits opponents' second-chance opportunities but also ignites transition chances for Crimson Cliffs, making her a true difference-maker on both ends of the floor.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Rebounders You Already Know</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='825055' first='Grace' last='Gallagher'] - Hunter - 16.3 RPG   [player_tooltip player_id='854299' first='Kenadie' last='Maughan'] - Uintah - 13.9 RPG   [player_tooltip player_id='796477' first='Abby' last='Munford'] - Ridgeline - 13.8 RPG   [player_tooltip player_id='790604' first='Rylee' last='Little'] - Kanab - 12.5 RPG   [player_tooltip player_id='1119385' first='Ellie' last='Stephens'] - North Summit - 12.6 RPG   [player_tooltip player_id='1708150' first='Acacia' last='Dalton'] - Milford - 11.8 RPG
