Buckets Heard Around the State

[player_tooltip player_id='912251' first='Ella' last='Crowe']'s game screamed versatility, toughness, and clutch performer. When the game was on the line, she was at her best. She hit threes, ripped steals, locked up ball-handlers, and took over stretches of play like a seasoned veteran. She played with a confidence that demanded respect. It's nothing new, college coaches have been raving about the Sophomore since at least the summer and her stock continues to rise.     [player_tooltip player_id='1201802' first='Jannell' last='Houston'] continues to show that she is one of the top players in the state. She put her team on her back and help take down one of the top programs in a preseason affair. Houston was versatile and scored at all three levels. Her physicality and ability to play through contact set her game apart and it had eliteness written all over it. Houston impacts the game in so many ways. She continues to solidify her game as one of the tops in the state. As she continues to show her abilities against elite teams, her stock will continue to rise.     [player_tooltip player_id='972357' first='Jayla' last='Griffin'] delivered one of the most impressive performances of the night. While she scored primarily in the paint, it was how she scored that stood out — the athleticism, the physicality, the confidence, and the visible growth in her overall game. Griffin looked every bit like one of the premier prospects in Florida's 2026 class. Now at Cardinal Mooney, she is poised to help guide the program back to another Final Four run. In her most recent outing, She put the team on her back for long stretches, finishing tough plays and consistently producing off the bounce.  She finished with 27 pts, shot 70% from the field, and made 7 of 8 free throws . Griffin is firmly establishing herself as one of the best players in the class and is primed for a true breakout in this 2025–26 campaign.     [player_tooltip player_id='633532' first='Leila' last='Goll'] launched a three that barely missed. Her teammate secured the offensive rebound and passed it back to Goll for the short midrange number- money! That sequence sums up Goll's approach so far this season. No longer does a missed shot lead to more misses. Goll's jumper wasn't just clean — it was like new money. Every shot she took carried confidence, rhythm, and touch. She played like someone who had been quietly preparing for her coming out party. After many great AAU seasons , Goll finally flipped the switch in the regular season. Her stroke was pure and her growth and production were impossible to ignore.     [player_tooltip player_id='751625' first='Terrell' last='McCoy'] didn't just score — she sent a message as one of the most dominant players on the First Coast in the entire state of Florida. McCoy had dominant seal after dominant seal, and multiple offensive boards that continued to rip the momentum away. She was a physical presence that overpowered every matchup she faced. She looked like the kind of interior force that leads teams to state championship final fours- a feat she accomplished last season and poised for the encore.     [player_tooltip player_id='1003101' first='Gabby' last='Mallory'] continues to prove she's one of the top 2028 prospects in the First Coast — and the state of Florida. She was impressive last season and looks even stronger now. Mallory has the ability to score in tight situations, especially in crunch time, and she consistently finds ways to get to the rim and midrange. Defensively, she brings value and versatility. Her length and size allow her to guard multiple positions — she can defend 1 through 4 and even spot minutes at the 5 if needed. She's a true two-way threat with the clutch gene. She brought it on Day 1 of the season and that performance should shake Clay county and put rest of the State on notice.
