is the highest-ranked player mentioned in this article, and she may very well keep on rising after the next ranking update.
Green is capable of scoring 20+ points every single night. She is a deadly 3-point shooter who almost prefers to have a hand in her face whenever she shoots(it doesn’t matter; she’s going to make it no matter what).
Besides outside shooting, Green can get to the basket any time she wants. She has a great handle that no one can stop, and she understands the pace of play so well. She is also a formidable passer, as she just makes her teammates better when she has the ball on a string.

McGehee’s star is coming off a fantastic season, and Manila is truly going to have their cut out for them just trying to contain her.
Green has an excellent offensive game where she can do a lot of everything. Scoring-wise, she will walk a defender down, raise up from beyond the arc, and drain a back-breaking triple. Green is exceptional when working around screeners, and these are “pick your poison” scenarios for the defense each time.
If a defender goes under the screen, then that’s silly because Green won’t hesitate to shoot a three and drain it. If they go over, she can fly past the help big and score inside or pull up for a runner. If her defender is trailing late and the help is sagging off, protecting the basket, Green can hit a mid-range shot or zip a pass over to an open teammate.
There is only one really good answer for how to slow down

, and that is to get the ball out of her hands. Even still, she has proven to be a great shooter off the catch as well.

has quickly become one of the best guards in the 3A classification, even after just one season of varsity basketball.
Last season, Green averaged 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.6 steals per game. She was exceptional in just about every aspect of the game, especially on offense. When she was not moving the ball around the floor and finding her open teammates, she was attacking the basket and scoring at will. If the defense sagged off of her along the perimeter, she did not hesitate to step back and nail the 3-pointer.
On the other end of the floor, Green played outstanding defense, forcing turnovers left and right. She was also crashing the glass hard, despite her 5’5″ frame.

McGehee is a team that is ready to make some noise in the 3A classification. After amassing a 20-5 overall record and a 9-3 record in the 3A-8, the Lady Owls are looking like a 3A title contender, with a lot of credit dedicated to their 2028 star,

Green led the way last season in most categories for McGehee. She averaged 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.6 steals per game. She was McGehee’s offensive catalyst through much of the season, scoring effectively in the paint and along the perimeter.
Even as a freshman, Green proved that she was a capable ball-handler and floor general. She seemed to always know where her open teammates were, hitting them with accurate passes. Like a lot of great guards in this state, Green is an excellent on-ball defender. She plays hounding defense for the entirety of every possession, forcing turnovers against any opponent.

is a name you should start to hear more of in 2025-26. Keep an eye and an ear out for Green and the McGehee Lady Owls, who should be making a lot of noise very soon.
