Ella stands out as the clear leader of the Viking ship, and her ability to score from all angles, as well as shut down your best player, will be a hard hill for teams to climb. I won’t be shocked if there are some big games this season.

Though Todd didn’t play the entire summer, Ella has cemented her name as one of the best all-around players in the state, and that was on display earlier this year when Fremd secured 3rd place in the state finals. On both ends of the court, she’s a handful to deal with, but personally, I believe she’s one of the best defenders in the state regardless of position and class. Her frame, her speed, and her ability to cover 1-3 are major assets and should translate to the next level seamlessly. This upcoming season, I think we’ll see Ella unlock a new level to her game, along with her leadership. She’s used to being one of the younger stars in a program, but this senior season, the Vikings will go as far as she does.

You will not find a player out there who works as hard as Ella. The kid is out there with 110% effort from start to finish-something only seen in the upper echelon of athletes. While Ella has always been known for her tight handles and spot-on shooting, what stood out most to me this tournament was her defense. She guarded the opposing team’s fastest and talented guard and kept the opponent’s scoring to a minimum.

Todd has added some energy and aggression to her game this year. The frame is college ready, the speed is college ready and now the “I got this” attitude has entered. From the arc to the rim, Ella can score with the best of them. Defensively is where the separation begins. The length matched with the foot and take off speed are difference makers. Utah has a hell of talent coming to them.

The Utah commit has had the eyes of scouts and college coaches on her for quite awhile, and her size and tempo based play style are key to that. At the next level she should see time as a 1 guard, but her scoring ability will allow her to be impactful at the 2 spot as well. Ella has great length, and a killer mindset that goes unnoticed due to her quiet approach. She can score in a multitude of ways, and defensively she can cause problems for multiple positions. With a loaded Fremd team, Todd will be head of the train on a possible state title run.

One of the top players in the 2025 class, Ella’s skills refine every time I see her play. She is a knockdown shooter with super tight handles and a court vision which is not seen at her level. Her footwork has always been quick and fleeting, but it has gotten more refined and she is dominating the space she occupies. When you think her game couldn’t improve, she has been using her frame to distract her opponent and drive hard to the basket for easy buckets.

needs no introduction. The gifted sophomore displays her wide array of talents every time I see her. She controls the floor with a flawless combination of strength and poise. She handles the ball with expertise and scores from any place on the court. Her elevated basketball IQ allows her to predict her opponent’s next move. Todd’s size and frame allows her to be a threat on defense as well. Her consistency in steals and rebounds accentuates her value on the court. Her list of college offers are impressive and will only multiply during AAU season.

Todd’s level of skill at this point in her career, is amazing to watch. Her frame, IQ, poise and simplified skillset are keys to why she can fully take over a game if needed. The handles are strong, the movement is graceful, and her creativity to score at all levels is deep as well. Ella is no where near her peak… the upside is high and the talent is legit. Can’t wait to see the how she progresses over her basketball journey.
