2026 Player Rankings: 2A-3A Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We made it up to 40 rising sophomores for the 2026 class. There are some obvious big school stars but here are some small school standouts that I wanted to mention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='594250' first='Naylissa' last='Charles'] <strong>Coolidge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo guard who understands how to change speeds and can get to the basket. She is a good passer but can score it as well. She can hit the three plus score thru contact in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='594251' first='Alaysia' last='White'] <strong>Coolidge </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very strong scoring guard has a nice handle and can hesitate to get to the basket. She uses her length and strength to rebound, collect steals and grab it and go coast to coast. When she is in the lane, she can score or make a play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='605124' first='Kylee' last='Juan'] <strong>San Carlos </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled power forward has strength and can score from inside and out. She will step out and shoot the three plus plays with her back to the basket. She has a drop step and will rip thru and go to work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='673099' first='Tatiana' last='Harness'] <strong>Leading Edge Academy-Gilbert </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top scoring lead guards in the class. She has range from well past the three point line plus a tighter handle to drive past her defenders. Her shift and speed allows her to touch the paint and then will throw a dime to a cutter or a spot up shooter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='582389' first='Madison' last='Gordon'] <strong>Phoenix Country Day</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The highest ranked "small school" rising sophomore is Madison. She has the size, the feel, the IQ and the pretty looking jumper. She may end up a long term three point specialist but she is slowly expanding her game off the dribble and defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='659946' first='Nenah' last='Brown'] <strong>Rancho Solano Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A very strong power forward plays and defends multiple positions. She will defend both forward spots and the post plus uses her big motor to rebound the ball at a high rate. The lefty scores it around the rim with great energy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='594258' first='Cierra' last='Willis'] <strong>ALA-Ironwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure point was already the floor general on her varsity team. She will often drive and kick it to her teammates and will score the ball. She has the runner, the three with range and uses her speed in the open court to score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='582390' first='Hannah' last='Fisher'] <strong>Phoenix Christian </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another varsity standout already as a freshman last year. She led them in scoring and controls the tempo of the game with her ball handling and quickness. She can shoot it from the perimeter but prefers to drive it with runners and dribble drives. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
