<p>[player_tooltip player_id='934000' first='Erika' last='Larson'] enters June as one of the more intriguing frontcourt players in this section of the rankings. The Avon power forward brings size, toughness, and a willingness to do the dirty work that often goes unnoticed but is essential to winning basketball.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Larson's ability to rebound on both ends of the floor makes her a valuable asset for the Orioles. She consistently battles for position, secures possessions, and provides physicality in the paint.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Few positions impact winning more than point guard, and [player_tooltip player_id='751072' first='Jada' last='Frieson'] has the opportunity to become a key leader for Warren Central moving forward.
