Ontario Christian (CA) | @ochsathletics
HC – Aundre Cummings
@scnext national rank: 1
What else can you say, when you have the top 2027 (Kaleena Smith) & top 2028 (Tatianna Griffin) on the same team – life is going to be very difficult for most any opponent. 2027 Dani Robinson & emerging 2029 Chloe Jenkins continued to supplement one of the most well rounded teams in the country. Jenkins ability to be an elite swiss army knife on both ends showed particularly well over the weekend. Ontario Christian & LUHI have separated themselves as the national 1 & 2 teams early on in my eyes with legit rumors of a January showdown in NY. S/O Shane Laflin for working on getting the matchup we would all want to see‼️
Sierra Canyon (CA) | @sierracanyongbb
HC – Alicia Komaki | @iamkomaki
@scnext national rank: 15
Coach Komaki’s squad was impressive as 2026 5-star Jerzy Robinson continued her return from injury. While Robinson was rusty offensively, I was majorly impressed with her effort as she knocks off the rust. I unoffically had her at 12+ rebounds in each game and thought she imposed her will – especially in the Riverdale Ridge matchup. @oregonwbb commit Emilia Krestevski along with 2028 4-star Roseline Oladukin give SC elite size. 2028 Zaire Hatter had a great weekend. The lefty created and made shots all weekend.
The St. James Academy (VA) | @stjamesgbb
HC – Tamika Dudley | @dudleytamika
@scnext national rank: 10
After a couple of early losses to elite level programs, St. James looked to be finding its footing as one of the more talented teams in the country. 5-star @terpswbb commit Jordyn Jackson hit a ton of shots, while 5-star 2027 GG Banks created for both herself and others. 4-star 2027s Ashley MacCalla & Jayda Dixon give SJA one of the most versatile and athletic perimeter oriented teams in the country.
Fort Erie (CN) | @feiawbb
HC – Handel Kipp | @coachkippB1
Fort Erie came away with a huge first day win over IMG. Led by 2027 4-stars Amelia Sow on the wing and Lisa Sirgi & Lexee Anderson on the wing, Fort Erie has massive size in the front court. 2028 3.5-star lead guard Portia Reisen had a terrific weekend, the super skilled sniper is part of the Canadian national team system.
IMG (FL) | @imgabasketball
HC – Frank Oliver | @justiceoliver
@scnext national rank: 5
Missing 3 nationally elite plays due to injury, IMG still has all the talent to stay nationally relevant throughout the season. 2026 Joyce Etute has come to the states from her home country of Luxembourg and taken it by storm with her ability to crash the glass and impose her physicality. Add 2027 4-stars Miciah Fusillier, Nevaeh Roberson, and Mya Clark and you have a super-sized HS lineup that is going to be a tough out as the season moves forward.
Faith Family (TX) | @faithfamilygbb
HC – Andrea Robinson
Faith Family is led by @uw_wbb 4-star commit Amayah Garcia. 2028 4-star Kaleena Ozumba continues to ascend and has all the makings of a developing elite national big. 2027 3-star Brooklyn Smith shot the lights out of the ball.
Riverdale Ridge (CO) | @girls_rrhs
HC – Tim Jones
@texaswbb 5-star 2026 commit Brihanna Crittendon showed why she is one of the most versatile and skilled players in the national class.Playing against 2 nationally elite level programs, Crittendon impressed with both her competitiveness and production. 2026 @af_wbb commit Chloe Parker had a great weekend and can really shoot the ball.
Incarnate Word Academy | @iwa_hoops
HC – Dan Rolfes | @danrolfes
@mostatewbb 2026 commit Ava Albanese continued to show her development as a mobile big. Ascending 2028 prospect Bridget Fitzgerald has elite length and skill – will be highly recruited on the national level.
