Isa Gelbard Isa Gelbard 5'9" | SF/PG Harpeth Hall | 2028 State TN had a great season for Harpeth Hall High School.

Gelbard, at the conclusion of the 2025-2026 season, was named to the TSSAA DII-AA All-Region Team, and for good reason. Gelbard brings a skillset that every high school coach would want. She puts great effort into defense, and she can also hit 3-pointers.

Gelbard can move laterally at a high level, allowing her to stick with her assignment on defense and generate steals on occasion. Regarding Gelbard’s 3-point shooting, two things stand out. Versatility and repeatability. She can score both off the dribble and off the catch more than comfortabiliy. Also, Gelbard has a fluid shot. Her form does not waver from shot to shot. That definitely plays a role in her being a high-level shooter.

Dropped 13 points as Harpeth Hall dismantled St. Agnes. This super tough sophomore utilized her length and size to help the Lady Bears seal the victory. If you haven’t seen this young lady play before, she is a tough competitor who shows up on both ends of the floor. She is going to give you her best effort night in and night out. Look for her to step it up even more as her squad plays CPA in the next round.

Last year, in her freshman year at Harpeth Hall High School. Isa Gelbard Isa Gelbard 5'9" | SF/PG Harpeth Hall | 2028 State TN showed she had a bright future in high school hoops.

Gelbard, as just a freshman, managed games well. She does not let pressure get to her, and she finds ways to make a positive impact on games. Gelbard on offens is a great scorer in the paint and also is a capable perimeter shooter.

On defense, Gelbard gives maximum effort. She does not give up on play and is an above-average overall wing defender. Gelbard also has good straight-line speed that can translate into chase-down blocks on occasion.

This kid has risen, and she isn’t stopping yet. She can pretty much play all positions as she plays with such a motor, which poses a threat to opposing coaches. She can handle the ball, shoot from multiple spots at a high clip, defend, contribute on the boards, get steals, etc. What I love about her game the most is that she is willing to give up her body and go for loose balls. She’s on the floor diving for it, she’s trying to save it from going out of bounds. This kid is a hustler, and she plays the game with intentions and does so the right way. A stellar kid who is only getting better.

She is playing with a lot of confidence, and it’s her time to take the reins of this Lady Bears ball club. Thrown into the fire last season, she got a great taste of what life is like in the D2-II division. Add in her EYBL experience this summer, and this young prospect is clicking on all cylinders. Isa can score from multiple spots on the floor, but it’s her defensive aggressiveness that really sets the tone for her ball club. She is all over the place, and her length really causes problems. Look for her to continue to get better and push Harpeth Hall into the upper echelon of the league.

Energetic ballplayer who plays with grit and determination. A 3-level scoring threat that loves competition. She is going to do whatever it takes to win and will give 110% at whatever it is. She is a tough competitor who hates to lose, yet her aggressive style and willingness to work go unnoticed amongst fans and teammates. She can score in multiple ways, but her calling card is her defense. She always seems to get her hands on the ball, getting both steals and deflections. Her game speaks volumes, and when she is on the floor, good things tend to happen. Look for her to continue to get better and be oneof  the next HH players to play at the next level.

Up and coming ball player who competes on every possession. She can score from all three levels, defend, rebound, and has the ability to block shots. She has active hands and feet and will guard both ball handlers and bigs. Look for her to continue to grow and be the next factor at Harpeth Hall.
