Kaylah Thornton (2026) Kettering Fairmont (OH)
Very talented and athletic young lady. She plays full go for 32 minutes, on both ends of the floor. Her motor on defense creates a lot of turnovers and easy points. She is not only tough to keep out of the paint, but she’s very efficient. She also looks and plays like she is really having fun and enjoys what she’s doing!
Saniyah Hall (2026) Laurel (OH)
Saniyah is an unstoppable force, she showed that today. She is so big, strong and quick, you literally can’t keep her from the rim. If you put a smaller quicker defender on her she will muscle them up. If you assign a bigger stronger defender, she will put it on the floor and beat her. When she is hitting jump shots from midrange or deeper you can forget about it. Don’t foul her because she has great touch from the line as well. With all the energy she has to spend on being dominant offensively, she still puts out max effort on the glass.
Daniya McDonald (2024) Reynoldsburg (OH)
Daniya is a very physical post presence, despite battling foul trouble she had a huge impact. She moves in the paint with purpose, quick and strong. She runs the floor very well and puts herself in position to get easy buckets. She is active on defense, staying on the glass and making any points in the paint though while she’s around.
Sa’Mahn Johnson (2025) Reynoldsburg (OH)
This young lady is electric! She showed off a vast array of offensive weapons. She showed a unique explosion to the rim where she used strength and great body control to finish well. Her jumpshot is advanced, she is consistent as a spot up shooter but also is dangerous coming off screens, or in stop in pop situations.
Joplin Yoder (2025) Hiland (OH)
Joplin showed that she can rebound with the best of them. She displayed some nice post IQ with up & under’s, nice pivots and an ability to use both hands. She also showed off solid guard skills with a few long jumpers and some nice dribble drive plays. Her diversity with back to the basket and face up game is a huge asset.
Ashley Mullet (2024) Hiland (OH)
Pound for pound one of the best players in all of Ohio. Theres no surprise why the D2 National Champion Ashland Eagles made sure she stayed close to home. She is a fabulous shooter that has deep range, is very efficient off of screens and can attack closeouts with her high IQ. She defends as hard as anyone and is much stronger than you’d think. Her handles are tight, she can handle pressure from the besrt, most athletic defenders.
Brooklyn Vaughn (2024) Toledo Central (OH)
Brooklyn is a dominant post presence for the Irish. When she’s dialed in she is tough to keep off the glass. She has nice polished moves with her back to the basket, but can also stretch things offensively and play face up midrange.
Corniya Clay (2024) Toledo Central (OH)
Clay is a spark plug playmaker for the Irish. She knocks down deep jumpers, pops pullups and has quick moves to the basket. She is deceptively strong and uses that to finish strong through contact. She’s really good at getting into the paint and seeing passing lanes and chances to make plays for others.
