<p>Our rankings update on Tuesday afternoon saw a rankings expansion from a Top 100 to a Top 150. This revision saw a ton of movement, with the following players making moves as some of the greatest gainers and biggest stock risers since the first update back in late-February.</p>

<p><em>*these are not new additions to the rankings, but instead players who were ranked before and now ranked higher</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1249693' first='Ellie' last='Majewski'] </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #5 | New Rank: #3</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ellie cracks the Top 3 thanks to strong play so far this summer on the EYBL circuit and during the scholastic live period. She leads with a versatile two-way game that poses matchup problems for defenders far and wide. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1259145' first='Brooke' last='Sofilkanich']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #60 | New Rank: #15</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brooke had a coming out in New Orleans at EYBL Session 2 and followed that up with yet another breakout at Jersey Live with SJV this month. She can be categorized as a stretch-4 with strong post play and reliable outside shooting, but also operates like a wing. Stout defense continues to set the tone.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1235184' first='Nadia' last='Alaba'] </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #32 | New Rank: #17</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nadia's length is a difference-maker, playing much bigger than her 5'9" frame. Her mid-range game and notable effort on the glass [for being a guard] have stood out to me in a major way. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1634845' first='Kaylie' last='Fitzpatrick']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #46 | New Rank: #26</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kaylie has been COOKING in Select Events at both Spooky & Atlantic City. Her length coupled with a strong dribble-drive game and the ability to consistently finish through contact has been problematic for defenders BBA has faced.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1505284' first='Bella' last='Simovski'] </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #37 | New Rank: #29</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's no surprise Bella picked up a D1 offer from Le Moyne a few weeks ago! It's physical basketball on display when she takes the court, playing positions 2-3 at a high level. Her six-foot frame and the ability to devastate on the drive or from distance makes her tough to contain.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1247947' first='Ava' last='Parra'] </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #40 | New Rank: #30</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two things that have stood out to me: a smooth mid-range jumper and the ability to navigate through pressure D with poise running point. No shortage of confidence!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1259196' first='Summer' last='Lachac'] </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #79 | New Rank: #46</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Standout performances in Maryland & Atlantic City with the Panthers have boosted Summer's stock tremendously. Her most recent run with Immaculata at Jersey Live stamped her 33-spot rise in the rankings. Knockdown 3-point shooting and a major impact on defense highlight her game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1781295' first='Madison' last='Bethea']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #71 | New Rank: #53</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Handles, poise & slashing dribble drive... Maddie has the goods! EYBL stops in Phoenix & New Orleans proved fruitful for the selfless lead guard. She's the engine that makes the Gemz go!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1760413' first='Reilly' last='Malin'] </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Previous Rank: #97 | New Rank: #75</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If the high school live period was any indication of things to come, WATCH OUT! She powered Princeton Day to a convincing win over Secaucus with physical post play and a never-back-down approach.</p>
