She is currently ranked 3rd in her position and 12th in the state of Louisiana. Kayla is a highly talented and gifted athlete, possessing excellent ball-handling skills and impressive footwork. Her ability to control the ball with rhythm, attack angles, and drive to the rim is exceptional. Kayla consistently plays in an aggressive manner, demonstrating her strength as a scorer and a physical player. She exhibits a profound understanding and feel for the game, and is also an unselfish player, frequently involving her teammates and creating scoring opportunities for them. On defense, Kayla displays the same level of effort and determination on the court.

She is currently ranked 8th in her position and 42nd in the state of Louisiana. Standing over six feet tall, Adrianna is recognized as one of the most traditional big players in her class. She excels as a rim and paint protector, thriving in her role by securing rebounds and blocking shots, which often makes opposing female athletes reconsider attacking the paint. Adrianna also performs exceptionally well under the rim offensively. She has shown significant growth as a scorer and has developed her footwork. As Adrianna continues to mature and refine her skills, she is expected to become a formidable presence on the court.

In her most recent game, she achieved 18 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 6 steals, and 1 block. Jordan possesses an excellent shot and demonstrates confidence when shooting. While she excels on offense, she is equally formidable on defense, employing a lockdown style that forces turnovers or allows her to steal the ball from opposing key players. In my assessment, Jordan's defensive prowess is her strongest asset on the court.     [player_tooltip player_id='980297' first='Paris' last='Palacio'], who plays as a point guard for the Lady Tigers for Many High School, class of 2028, currently wears number 0 and is unranked in her position and in the state, has recently begun to distinguish herself. Paris continues to impress and showcase her skills on the basketball court. In her latest game against Mansfield High School, Paris effectively controlled the floor and demonstrated her dribbling ability against a formidable Mansfield defense. At one point in the game, she was even triple-teamed but still managed to advance the ball, proving difficult to stop. Although Paris did not score extensively herself, her actions created open opportunities for her teammates to score. Paris also displayed strong defensive play, challenging all opponents. At one point, she was even guarding the center player, diligently attempting to block out and secure rebounds for her team. Paris consistently plays with great passion and dedication on the court. She is an invaluable asset to any team or basketball program.     [player_tooltip player_id='1309016' first='Jamia' last='Raby'], a point guard for the Liberty Magnet Patriots, wears number 5 and is a member of the class of 2028.
