PGH Ohio Rankings 2022- Top 25 (Part 4)

The PGH Ohio rankings have been updated for the first time since its initial ranking back in the spring, and with the 2022 players, they were posted as a watch list following their freshman season. Today, the PGH Ohio staff will continue to take a look at some of the top players ranked in the 2022 class. Cate Schieber - pictured above; Photo Credit - The Newark Advocate (Granville) – Schieber, coming in at #16 on our PGH rankings for the Class of 2022, is a smooth guard with a beautiful pull-up jumper and an equally impressive catch-and-shoot game from the perimeter. She is a good passer and willing defender who is active – causing havoc all over the floor. Jenna Smith (Garrettsville Garfield) – Jenna Smith is a versatile 4/5 with tremendous size and skill for such a young player. Our #18 ranked player in the Class of 2022, Smith is comfortable with her back to the basket, but also can run the offense through the high post as a passer and one-dribble playmaker. She is a good rebounder and post defender who still has a lot of potential to improve on both ends of the floor. Bella Zirzow (Bristol) – At over 6’0 tall, Zirzow has already shown flashes of an all-around game. Whether it be rebounding the ball at a double-digit clip, handling the ball and initiating her team’s offense when needed or stepping out and knocking down 3’s – Bella is a nightmare for opponents and she is #20 in our rankings. Aila Miller (Berlin Hiland) – It would be easy for Aila Miller to slip through the cracks. As a sophomore, she is one year younger than one of the top junior classes in the entire state of Ohio at Berlin Hiland. However, when given the opportunity, Miller – our #22 ranked player in the Class of 2021 – has shown that she can hold her own and is a more than capable option on both ends of the floor. She has a great nose for the basketball as a rebounder and can shoot consistently from the mid-range, as well. Her athleticism is an asset to any team, as she can pick up and pressure in the full-court and also switch on pick-and-rolls. Mauria Stanley (Garfield Heights Trinity) – Stanley, who enters the list with a #25 ranking, is a super-athletic forward. Mauria is an outstanding rebounder on both ends of the floor, who also possesses the ability to alter shots and get a high number of deflections each time she takes the floor. She is at her best offensively in transition – when she refines her offensive toolbox, she is going to be even more of a nightmare.
