Anderson-commits <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='285230' first='Amilya' last='Taft'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='285231' first='Ashlynn' last='Bleisath'] </strong>bring size and floor spacing, respectively, to the court. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817190' first='Marissa' last='Mason'] </strong>is an emerging three-point sniper while <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='476495' first='Kailyn' last='Hamby'] </strong>is settling into the role of playmaker. The Grizzlies are a threat to win the league title in their first season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>South Forsyth<br></u></strong>In a transition year, the War Eagles went 3-4. A now seasoned 2025 group is in place with shooters <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='620399' first='Amelia' last='Brown'] </strong>and <strong>Ella Bekkerus </strong>along with versatile combo-forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='506255' first='Berkley' last='Bennett']</strong>. Sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='674581' first='Avynn' last='Kniceley'] </strong>is a scrappy high-energy playmaker. The addition of freshman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='904613' first='Calleigh' last='Salvador'] </strong>will make an immediate impact after she averaged 9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.6 steals with Redline last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Denmark<br></u></strong>Health and availability are always most important for the Danes. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335863' first='Hannah' last='Lopez'] </strong>is coming off an MCL injury and is a major loss if she is still rehabbing. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335868' first='Avery' last='Huffman'] </strong>is a senior leader, a knockdown shooter that averaged 10.5 points per game last fall while sinking 14 threes as Denmark finished 3-4. Freshman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='926799' first='Jadyn' last='Shepard'] </strong>has a great ceiling to work towards. The athletic point guard can get downhill and stretches the floor with her three-point shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Gilmer<br></u></strong>The Bobcats will make their debut in the Sandy's Spiel Fall League but have two experienced players in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='790254' first='Paula' last='Robertson']</strong>, who averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 steals before a breakout season at Union County and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='743545' first='Jace' last='Sanderson'] </strong>who appeared in one game for Fannin County but is an emerging sophomore who should have a strong season as one of the best young players in North Georgia. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876702' first='Aliza' last='Chastain'] </strong>is a dangerous outside shooter with loads of varsity experience while junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='974964' first='Bree' last='Burnette'] </strong>sprinkled in impressive games throughout last year as a sophomore. The Bobcats are a sneaky pick to finish near the top of the fall league standings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
