Alexa Rabidoux Alexa Rabidoux 5'7" | CG Essex | 2025 State New E , 5’8 G – Blueprint Basketball Varsity Class of 2025
It used to be that Lexi was defense first, but now she’s a two-way talent. Rabidoux’s sighted in the 3, finding looks both as an off-ball cutter, screener, and spot-up shooter or on the ball creating with the bounce. Mixed in is sly slashing and the distribution to balance it all out, making the basketball play. Defensively dynamic, Lexi will hustle to corral boards + loose balls, lock in on talented ballhandlers, and stitch the help side defense together. A well-rounded player who’s making strides offensively.
Audrey Rupp Audrey Rupp 5'5" | CG Windsor | 2025 State New E , 5’7 G – Comets Basketball Club (CBC) + Lone Wolf Athletics Class of 2025
With Audrey it’s two-way work ethic. She’s a hound on the ball 84×50, moving her feet and challenging every shot + pass with extended hands and an intuitive sense of where opponents are trying to go. Off-ball it’s that same court awareness, able to disrupt offenses with tipped passes and junked up initiation. Offensively, Rupp is someone who can initiate offense, set teammates up, and make quick attacks off the bounce or the catch. A two-way swiss army knife who gives you so much that doesn’t show up in the box score.
Meghan Thompson Meghan Thompson 5'8" | CG Mount Mansfield | 2025 State New E , 5’8 G/W – Blueprint Basketball Varsity Class of 2025
It’s Thompson who comes in with the jumper dialed in. Meghan’s quick release, off-ball movement and range requires defenders to play her honestly. She has microwave ability, able to fill it up in a hurry both in the halfcourt and as a transition scorer. And when the closeout is out of control, she slips into the 2nd layer for floaters, finishes, and well-read feeds. On the other end, she has the length to guard up and does well to help on the glass a bit. A natural 2-guard with shooting touch.
Peyton Guay Peyton Guay 5'8" | CG West Rutland | 2025 State New E , 5’9 G – NY Havoc Class of 2025
Guay has the skillset and adaptability to fill numerous roles. Peyton operates as the lead guard in winter, orchestrating the whole show with her offensive creation. Yet she has plenty of off-ball wit, using screens wisely and making heady cuts to attack defensive gaps and score from all over the floor, range included. Then defensively, she’s anticipatory, smart, and a talented off-ball defender who’ll plug up cuts, rebound, and break into transition. A dynamic player who does a bit of everything.
Sophia Rockwood Sophia Rockwood 5'7" | CG Windsor | 2025 State New E , 5’7 G – Comets Basketball Club (CBC) + Lone Wolf Athletics Class of 2025
It’s known that Rockwood is lethal on the offensive end. When she gets it going, Sophia scores it from every spot on the floor. The 3 ball can drop out of various scenarios, and she attacks the 2nd layer well with savvy footwork and touch within 10-feet. The court vision is bourgeoning and she has the tools to initiate the O as well. Defensively, Sophia has the anticipation to keep matchups from getting to their spots and knows rotations. A talented offensive weapon.
