Expert Analysis
Kyle Sandy | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Sophia’s growth into becoming a pure point guard has been fun to watch. In a 74-60 win over Holy Innocents’, the Furman-signee only scored 2 points but collected 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block to orchestrate River Ridge’s high-octane offense. Pearl has tremendous vision as a playmaker and is able to score from all three levels when hunting her offense.

Furman-commit averaged 14.3 points, 3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game. Shifty shooter with advanced court vision.

Sophia was a main attraction on Sunday, a key reason why multiple D-I programs showed out in full force to scout. With just five players and at one point having to play 5 on 4, River Ridge ran out of gas seeing a 12-point lead evaporate into a 45-43 loss to New Manchester, a late three doing in the shorthanded Knights. Playing with one other starter, two JV players and an eighth grader, Pearl did the heavy lifting with 26 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals. Her ability to carry a team offensively has been one of her most impressive areas of growth, stepping into the lead guard position with Mataya Gayle now at Penn. Pearl hit pull-up threes and used her shiftiness to get into the lane. With the deck stacked against her, Sophia nearly pulled off a magic trick with an improbable win. D-II and D-I schools in attendance got to see why Pearl is one of 2025’s very best.

Pearl was on a mission in the first game of the day against North Paulding. The state champ stepped up with 18 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Sophia kept her dribble alive while probing the defense and was patient until she got what she wanted, whether a shot or an assist. Pearl netted four threes, finished with both hands at the rim and dropped in a floater. Her court vision and playmaking continue to get better and better. A handful of Low Major and Mid-Major programs have offered.

Pearl has packed on muscle to her frame. Does a good job stopping on a dime for pull-up jumpers. Is a steady on-ball defender. Looked to be more of a facilitator this week. Sophia holds a handful of D-I offers

The state champ looked light on her feet, floating around the floor darting different directions as she was in the middle of everything. Pearl made a big jump from Year 1 to Year 2 with her creative handle against pressure. She has a tough spin move in traffic and can quickly locate the rim to get to her floater. Sophia is a lethal shooter from deep. She shows a lot of toughness on both ends of the floor and is undervalued as a defender, a really pesky perimeter guarder. Multiple D-I schools have offered.

Pearl did a nice job scoring downhill. She converted on two floaters, a pull-up jumper and an And-1 layup in transition. Sophia finished with 8 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. It is always a positive sign to see such a good shooter like Pearl still manage to be effective when her long ball isn’t dropping.
