Continue ReadingThe 2026 rankings were updated on the North Carolina site last week, so let’s take a look at some of the stock risers from the latest changes.
Brook Evans has been racking up the accolades already in her high school career. She’s a three level scorer who knows how to go to work off the dribble, or she can make a quick shot off a pass. She has some nice cuts to the basket moving with ball fakes to get the open look, and she can battle through contact with ease on her way to the hoop. She knows how to be a menace on defense being able to guard a range of players.
Highlights
Kate Schindler had an exceptional season with Marvin Ridge leading them in big matchups all year. She is a lengthy guard who can work her way to the block for some points in the paint, or she can set herself up around the perimeter to show off her range. She handles the ball well knowing how to be shifty and lose her defenders on her way to the hoop.
Kara Brinkley was excellent all season for East Burke including playing all out in the state championship game. She does it all for her team getting inside for rebounds and battling against everyone in the paint for some points. She is constantly moving on offense finding the open looks scoring on every level. Her IQ is apparent on the other end, too, as she predicts what her opponents will do jumping in front of passes to push these steals the other direction.
Highlights
Tia Bryant is another athlete who does it all for her team. She gets inside going after rebounds cleaning up the glass on the offensive end. Her height is an asset being able to work in the paint for some points, or she can show off her jumper working to create some space with her handles. She flashes across the paint shifting the defense knowing how to make immediate adjustments to score her points.
