Kaleigh Addie, Greater Atlanta Christian

Addie (20.4 ppg) is the leading scorer for No. 18 Greater Atlanta Christian. The Xavier signee played a key role in the Spartans’ 3A state championship in 2020 and runner-up finish a season ago.

Elle Blatchford, Sequoyah

The 5-foot-11 guard leads the Chiefs in scoring with 16.5 points per game and hustles on defense. She holds an offer from Vanderbilt, and more are sure to come for the talented junior.

Danielle Carnegie, Rockdale County

Only a sophomore, Carnegie is turning heads with her knockdown shooting and lockdown defense. She was the Region 3 Class 5A player of the year as a freshman and is averaging 21 points and three steals per game this year for the Bulldogs. 

Diana Collins, Brookwood

Collins leads the charge for SBLive’s No. 1 team in the state. The junior recently committed to stay in state and play for Georgia, which is currently ranked the No. 15 college team in the nation.

Monet Dance, Mount Pisgah

Dance is a savvy guard with a great ability to create open shots for herself and her teammates. The junior has been offered by Mercer, Appalachian State, North Florida and Winthrop.

Evelina Davlakou, Luella

This Jacksonville State signee has handles for days. Listed at 5-foot-5, Davlakou is a shifty playmaker who has the ability to heat up quickly from long range. 

Jordynn Dudley, Cambridge

A Florida State soccer commit, Dudley can outrun any defense with the ball in her hands. The junior has scored over 1,000 points and counting and holds the Cambridge record for most career points.

Katelyn Dunning, Mount Paran

Dunning is an experienced guard for a talent-filled Mount Paran team. The West Georgia signee has a smooth stroke from long range and does a good job setting up teammates on the No. 5-ranked Eagles. 

Mataya Gayle, River Ridge

Gayle runs point for the No. 6 team in SBLive’s Top 25. The 5-foot-7 junior has great vision when it comes to finding teammates and has scored over 1,000 points in her career for the Knights. 

Jodi Goins, Alpharetta

Now a senior, Goins has been one of the top scorers in the state for years. The 5-foot-8 guard averages 21.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game for the Raiders (10-4).

Crystal Henderson, Kell

Henderson is a scoring machine, and she gets her points in a multitude of fashions. The junior might be at her best offensively when she’s pushing the pace in transition, but she’s also a dangerous person to give space from three-point range. 

Paris Miller, Johns Creek

An injury sidelined Miller her senior year, but the dynamic floor general is still one of the best in the state. She’s working toward a return as she begins her college career at Georgia Tech.

Erica Moon, St. Francis

Moon is a smart guard who has a propensity for attacking the basket. The 5-foot-7 junior is strong with both hands and can make difficult passes look easy. 

Kehinde Obasuyi, Carrollton

After missing her sophomore year due to injury, Obasuyi returned a season ago and had a Class 6A All-State campaign. The 5-foot-5 lefty is Western Carolina-bound once she wraps up her high school career with the Trojans, who are currently 13-0 and ranked No. 8 in the state.

Bryanna Preston, Lovejoy

College offers continue to pile up for Preston, a 5-foot-8 guard who is lightning fast and tall for her position. Miami, Kentucky, Auburn, Houston and more are pursuing the sophomore.

Susanna Rogers, Sequoyah

Averaging nearly five assists per game, Rogers is one of the top dimers in the state. The senior Lee commit posted 14 points and eight assists in the Chiefs’ 70-55 win over Woodstock in December. 

Sophie Smith, Denmark

Smith makes it look effortless when she pulls up from long range and drains a 3-pointer or whirls a one-handed pass to a cutting teammate. The uncommitted senior holds offers from Presbyterian and USC Upstate.

Chloe Sterling, Marietta

Sterling led the Blue Devils to a 7A state title last year, their first title in 70 years. The James Madison commit has scored 30-plus points in a game three times this season and is lethal from beyond the arc.

Bridget Utberg, Woodstock

Utberg (20.9 ppg) has earned a reputation as one of the top shooters in the state. The Central Michigan signee leads the state in 3-pointers (47) and has scored over 2,000 points in her career for the Wolverines. 

Ava Watson, Buford

Watson was one of 34 players from around the country invited to Team USA’s 16U tryouts. The 5-foot-7 sophomore has a long list of offers from Power Five programs such as Florida State, North Carolina State, Kentucky and more.
