Erhardt is a terrific prospect out of Center-Stanton. She stands at 6’3 and towers over nearly every opponent. Ava is a good athlete with quick feet and soft hands. She can catch passes in traffic, maintain control, and finish through contact. Her height and length allow her to be a great rim protector and rebounder. She keeps possessions alive by pursuing offensive rebounds for easy putbacks. Ava is a returning All-District selection from last season. If Center-Stanton is able to secure a few more wins this season, I anticipate her earning an All-Region spot. She is certainly one of the best prospects out of Region 4.

Ava has potential to be a nice recruit. I watched her play this summer and think she is much closer to the 6’2-6’3 range. She towered over opponents and displayed some qualities that caught some NSIC coaches’ eyes. She moves well for a post and is already a strong athlete. Her strength, height, and length make it difficult for opponents to score over her. She showed some promise on the offensive end. She was able to catch passes in traffic, seal up the lane, and keep possessions alive with her offensive rebounding efforts.

Ava is going to be a stock-riser come next rankings release. She is taller than her listed height and should be listed around the 6’3 range. She is another athlete who ‘looks the part.’ Erhardt impressed me from the get-go. She battled with opponents around the basket and was great at finding offensive positioning. She has nice hands and was able to catch passes and keep the ball high. She was able to seal defenders up the lane and create scoring lanes for her teammates. Center-Stanton struggled to find wins in 25-26 and Ava is hoping to change course next season. Having her anchor the team is something that many coaches would love to have in a returning player.
