<ul><li>The junior class is headlined with some generational talent. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='245351' first='Jaloni' last='Cambridge']</strong> from Ensworth and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='245352' first='Imari' last='Berry']</strong> lead a talented class. These two guards are dynamic with the ball in their hands and can single handedly impact the game in more ways than one.</li></ul>

<ul><li>This sophomore class is sensational. Dominated by big time players. Height may dominate throughout this class, but I doubt these girls will hit any sophomore slumps. Look for these girls to bust out of the gates and provide major stability to their clubs.</li></ul>
