<p>Within the 2026 top 100 list, several names stand out to me as future stars this season. An upcoming new high school campaign brings plenty of opportunities to shine in front of big Colorado crowds. I believe these hoopers will climb up the rankings fairly quickly as the season kicks off. Let's talk about it. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='761864' first='Isabelle' last='Johnston'] will be the center of attention for opposing defenses facing Arapahoe this season. At 5'11, Johnston is shifty and maneuvers her way to the rim to score. Able to absorb contact, Johnston earns multiple trips to the free-throw line each game. From her pace of play to her effort on both sides of the ball, Johnston makes for an elite player to have on any roster. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='571126' first='Addison' last='Lesage'] has elevated her game immensely this summer with [program_tooltip program_id='732418' first='GRIT' last=''], knocking down long-range threes and distributing the rock around to her teammates. In transition downhill, Lesage keeps her head up with the ball and utilizes her quickness to blow by defenders. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='327644' first='Sydney' last='Davis'] is one of the key pieces on Highlands Ranch's loaded roster this year. Playing alongside guard NaZiyah Newbins, Davis will be a crucial off-the-catch shooter for Ranch moving forward. When she had the ball, Davis blew by her defenders and create space for herself around the mid-range area. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='510715' first='Cobelyn' last='Wiesner'] is a spot-up shooter who can extend her range from way behind the arc. Converting at a high percentage, when Wiesner gets the hot hand, it's difficult for defenses to cool her down. Wiesner always brings the energy and plays the game with enthusiasm and rhythm. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Addison Steeland makes the most of opportunities in transition and finishes her layups consistently downhill. Currently ranked just inside the top 100, I expect Steenland to make a massive jump in the first month of the high school season. At 5'7, Steenland can attack the rim and step outside to knock down open jumpshots. </p>
