2024 Chelsea Johnson (Warrensville Heights)
Chelsea has a solid frame and moves quite well on her feet. She plays with a high motor and is constantly fighting for rebounds and loose balls. She has active hands on defense and runs the floor very well in transition. She uses her foot work and size to gain position and score from inside the paint.
2024 Breayah Jefferson (Toledo Rogers)
One of the quickest guards I watched all day. Stops & starts with the ball and is always under control. Sees the opening and can dish to players when help side picks up. She can shoot it off the dribble which makes her hard to guard coming off screens. Commands the court really well and plays both ends. She has a lot of counter moves that she is ready to use when reading defenders. One of the most impressive players I watched. On the defensive end, she pressures the ball well forcing turnovers.
2024 Anna Hurst (Stow)
Anna is a very tough guard who plays both ends of the court. She is a solid player who can shoot, drive, pass and play D. She plays unselfishly and makes great decisions which shows off her IQ. She is used to playing in high tempo games year-round. She wouldn’t miss a beat with the difference in speed and physicality at the next level.
Sydney Mobley (2027) Olentangy (OH)
Sydney is just flat out dominant, there’s nothing this kid can’t do! She looks like a post, but she is as far from a traditional post as can be. At 6’2″ she can be seen leading the break and starting transition. She has a shot with nice touch and range. She can put the ball on the floor and score, using both hands and both sides of the rim. You can’t keep her off the boards, and she collects so many extra possessions and second chance points. This young lady is beyond impressive.
Mya Hamilton (2025) Unioto (OH)
Mya is a big time scorer, and big time shooter. She has range, a quick release and she is advanced in getting clean looks coming off screens. She does a fantastic job of getting to her spots, and being ready to let it fly. She does a good job attacking off the dribble as well and showed off some effective midrange scoring.
Milee Smith (2026) Unioto (OH)
Milee is a gifted offensive threat. She shoots the ball well, she’s very patient on her drives while using change of speed and direction effectively. Everything she does is smooth, whether it’s attacking in transition, finding open teammates or making a team pay for sending her to the line.
Madison Parrish (2025) Mason (OH)
Very long PG that is always in attack mode. She can score it from all over, from deep and flying to the rim. She gets to the foul line quite a bit, and has a wide variety of midrange scoring options on the move. She loves to defend and her effort and energy on the defensive end results in a lot of steals and blocks.
Elise Bender (2025) Anthony Wayne (OH)
What a dominating force this kid is! She’s so fundamentally sound, yet supremely skilled and laser focused on what it takes to win. She is built well and plays really strong, often times muscling to the basket and the foul line. Great touch all over the court, deep, midrange or foul line. Attacks the glass so hard and her effort results in a lot of rebounds that many don’t get.
