Faith Henderson Faith Henderson 5'11" | SF Powhatan HS | 2022 State VA will have a huge task of leading her team against a team with four possible future college basketball players. she will definitely need help from a running mate Katherine Cerullo to knock off this loaded team!

Jennifer Levine and Caroline Levine has Staunton 25-1 on the season and about to go aghast a top ten player in Perp Hoops rankings Zoli Khalil Zoli Khalil 6'0" | SF Spottswood | 2023 State VA . Don’t be surprised the winner of this game may take that momentum and when the state championship.
John Marshall HS
16-6 on the season John Marshall has no doubt the biggest force in 2A basketball. Jaedyn Cook Jaedyn Cook 6'3" | C John Marshall HS | 2023 State VA 6’3 ODU commit will draw a lot of attention from the opposing teams. But if there’s one player that you could ride the shoulders on it has to be Jaedyn!

Kymora Johnson Kymora Johnson 5'8" | CG St. Anne's Belfield | 2023 State VA a career big game player will need help from her supporting cast like Sabrina Lewis Sabrina Lewis 5'8" | SG Stab | 2023 State VA and Olivia Wagner Olivia Wagner 5'6" | PG STAB | 2022 State VA to advance and to wear the crown!
Miller School
With the addition of Alary Bell Alary Bell 6'1" | C Miller School | 2023 State VA and Brooklin Ingram Brooklin Ingram 5'9" | SG Miller | 2023 State VA at the beginning of the season, it’s no surprise that Miller is one win away from the championship game.

Steward School
Is led by 8th sensation Sanai Green Sanai Green 6'0" | SF Steward School | 2026 State VA ! This is such a young team and they do have other pieces like Ella grace Saunders and Tori West. Even with a young team it is no time like now to grab a state title!
