Forde continues to emerge as one of the more intriguing long guards in the region. Playing for Sanford’s 17U Black squad out of Fargo, the 5-foot-11 Park Christian (Moorhead) standout has noticeably added strength without sacrificing mobility. She fills a variety of roles beyond scoring, using her size, length, and versatility to influence the game on both ends of the floor. Forde has always possessed smooth shooting mechanics, but her improved physicality allows her to attack more effectively off the bounce and defend multiple positions. Players with her combination of length, skill, and positional versatility are always valuable. Forde holds Division 2 offers and appears to be a great fit for that level.

Ashlynn is a terrific talent who has garnered some Division 2 interest. She currently holds offers from University of Mary and Minnesota State University Moorhead. These are two quality programs and are great talent evaluators. Forde is a two-time All-Conference award winner and is a great leader for a good Park Christian team. She is great off of the bounce, deadly from either a mid-range or getting to the basket with her impressive strength. She can stretch the floor with her three-point shooting and quick release. She is a player with good strength for her position and will be a great college athlete. She finished last season averaging 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals per game.
