Rankings Update: Shining Bright 2026s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops North Carolina has been updating their rankings this month.  The latest update and the last one for this quarter comes to us in the class of 2026.  Last week, I was able to attend day 2 of the NCBCA Live Team Camp where I saw these 2026s shining at the perfect time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

read her opponents on defense directing her teammates where to go and sliding into the right spots to make a play.  She had some nice blocked shots, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

past half court.  She knew when to slow her tempo losing her defender.  Her defense was tough picking the pocket of her opponents to take the other direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
