It wouldn’t be the Class AA regionals without these players

<strong>Region I</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="153374" first="Leslie" last="Huffman"], Parkersburg Catholic, SG, Sr., 5-10</strong> -There really is no slowing down [player_tooltip player_id="153374" first="Leslie" last="Huffman"]. <img class="size-medium wp-image-375205 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/01/Leslie-Huffman-scaled-crop-1440x945-1642013757-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" />She’s always growing and learning. She really may take home her third straight Little Kanawha Conference Player of the Year Award. Before anyone says anything about her playing in Class AA, you can just put it away - far away. There are too many good things about her game. Translating well to AAA and AAAA are her outer-worldly defensive instincts and her scoring abilities. Not many if any opponents have a good time matching up against her. No one does. Then, she hurts you in so many different ways on the offensive end of the floor. 3s, driving to the basket, drawing fouls, finding her teammates, and rebounding all serve in making her one of the top players in the state. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="391467" first="Breanna" last="Price"], St. Marys, F, So., 5-8</strong> - Price’s breakout season continues to be a success. She’s quickly making herself an indispensable part of what Fred King and the Blue Devils will be all about in the next few years. Sure, there may be a few setbacks. However, she carries a great level of intelligence into every contest. She knows how to get her teammates involved. She loves scoring and putting on a show. Putting it all together makes for one special young lady. <strong>Region II</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="385408" first="Sucora" last="Brown"], Trinity, G, So., 5-6 -</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="385408" first="Sucora" last="Brown"] forms one of the pillars of the Trinity Warriors. Is she the sturdiest one? That’s not a fair question. Nearly everyone on Mike Baldy’s team contributes in one way or another. For Brown, it’s all about running the floor well and playing with confidence down low. She looks at home on the block. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="391462" first="Braylee" last="Corbin"], Petersburg, G, Jr., 5-6</strong> - The Vikings guard has the makings of a reliable role player. Her shot still needs work, but she still performs in every facet of competition. She brings the ball up the floor, is always willing to make the extra pass, and is an excitable player who has shown the ability to go off for big points in the occasional big game. <strong>Region III</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="153409" first="Hannah" last="Blankenship"], Wyoming East, G/F, Sr., 5-9</strong> - It just wouldn’t feel like a Wyoming East postseason without a Blankenship. First, older sister Jazz helped the Warriors to the Charleston multiple time then last season Hannah did something similar. In other words, a Blankenship is just part of a well-balanced tournament run. Perhaps, they’ll be part of two of them. Now, Hannah is a veteran player as Angie Boninsegna’s group chases a state championship repeat. She’s a hard-working piece in the Warriors machine. Always up for guarding and playing hard defense, Hannah carves her mark in every game. She always makes the hustle plays and supports her teammates. She also does a bit of scoring if the situation calls for it. She’s got a few weapons in her arsenal. Really, she outputs exactly what a Blankenship at Wyoming East is all about. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="379528" first="Addie" last="Smith"], Mingo Central, PG, Fr., 5-5</strong> - When talking about scoring machines around the state, there are a few names that come to mind. <img class="wp-image-386209 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/02/MG_6620.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="184" />[player_tooltip player_id="153374" first="Leslie" last="Huffman"], [player_tooltip player_id="153372" first="Peyton" last="Ilderton"], [player_tooltip player_id="153370" first="Marley" last="Washenitz"], [player_tooltip player_id="153421" first="Sydney" last="Baird"] and [player_tooltip player_id="153371" first="Dionna" last="Gray"] top the list. One kid many people may not have heard of but deserves inclusion? [player_tooltip player_id="379528" first="Addie" last="Smith"]. Yes, the Mingo Central Miner may not be the tallest, but she’s certainly among the most talented scorers in the state. Keep in mind, leading the Miners isn’t easy. Her mother leads the team and Addie’s mistakes can sometimes be magnified. She certainly holds herself to a higher standard. She often puts her head down and gets on herself after a turnover. However, that doesn’t affect her scoring. Her footwork allows her a multitude of different opportunities. She scores off screens, she drives down the lane, she pops up for jays, and she runs the fast break for quick lay-ins. It’s safe to say she’s going to be a pain for Class AA these next few years. <strong>Region IV</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="382604" first="Hadleigh" last="McGoskey"], Ravenswood, G, So., 5-4</strong> - Ravenswood’s do-it-all guard brings a worker’s mentality to the court - each and every day. There’s no slowing her down or discouraging her, there’s simply production. Once she gets on in the open court and starts running, there’s no telling what’s coming next. Maybe it’s a shot, or a cheeky pass to a teammate, or a tough drive to the basket, there are so many different options. <strong>Chloe Clark, Charleston Catholic, F, Sr., 5-8 -</strong> Clark is someone who delivers a consistent game night in and night out. Her points and rebounds can be counted on, because she’s a confident player. There may be a few hard nights as Charleston Catholic plays in a particularly tough area of the state, but it never gets to her.
