Georgia’s Gatorade Player of the Year Sania Feagin Sania Feagin 6'4" | PF Forest Park | 2021 State #8 Nation GA pumped in 17 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3 steals and 3.6 blocks. The agile South Carolina-commit can play both with her back to the basket and from the perimeter. Jasmine Stevens Jasmine Stevens 6'1" | PF Forest Park | 2021 State GA is a strong versatile forward that averaged 7.4 points and 6.9 rebounds.

Once Flau’Jae Johnson gained eligibility, she changed the trajectory of the Sprayberry program. The dynamic 5-foot-11 forward scored both inside and out. Her ability to slice through defenses and get to the rim left opponents with now answers. Add in 2023 6-foot-1 center Anna Vereen Anna Vereen 6'1" | PF Sprayberry | 2023 State GA and the Yellow Jackets have a dominant duo in the paint that can both rebound and protect the rim.

A jack-of-all-trades, Aniya Palmer Aniya Palmer 6'0" | SF Troup County | 2022 State GA put herself on the map as Troup County went 27-2 and took a trip to the Class 4A State Championship. Palmer’s motor and length allows her to affect games in everyway imaginable. She averaged 11.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.8 blocks. Alexcia Murphy Alexcia Murphy 5'10" | SF Troup County | 2023 State GA doesn’t have the length of Palmer but she’s equally explosive in her own right. She’s got a strong frame and a relentless nose for the ball. She can overpower opponents when battling for rebounds and provides non-stop pressure. She averaged 10.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.4 steals.
Carver-Columbus
Enyshuan Jones & Khamya Edmonds
Standing at 6-foot-3 and 6-foot-2, it’s hard to believe the Carver-Columbus duo isn’t the tallest tandem on the list. Enyshuan Jones and Khamya Edmonds are both big targets on the low block that stay on the offensive glass. Jones has a wide base and can seal off inside while Edmonds has a bit more mobility and can get up and down the floor. Both of them lock down the paint with their shot blocking.

The 2022 forwards are extremely versatile and both stand 6-foot-1. Amani Hamilton Amani Hamilton 6'1" | SF Johnson-Savannah | 2022 State GA and K’Lya Hankerson defend multiple positions and occasionally can provide minutes on the perimeter offensively. Hamilton had a breakout season averaging 11.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.2 steals and 3.2 blocks while Hankerson, the 2019 state championship hero that hit a late three to clinch the win, posted 9.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks.

You can’t teach size. The massive height of 6-foot-3 L’or Mputu L’or Mputu 6'4" | C Greenforest | 2021 State GA and 6-foot-5 Bernie Lundu gives Greenforest one of the tallest teams in the nation – making some D-I college programs green with envy. Mputu averaged 14.5 points per game and gave the best of the best in Class A-Private problems with her motor and touch around the basket. Lundu pitched in 5 points per game but showed promise with her understanding of how to use her size to her advantage.

Holy Innocents’
Jillian Hollingshead Jillian Hollingshead 6'4" | PF McEachern | 2021 State #17 Nation GA & Olivia Hutcherson Olivia Hutcherson 6'0" | PF Holy Innocents' | 2023 State GA
Two-time state champion Jill Hollingshead has come up big in the biggest game twice. The 6-foot-4 forward plays inside and out. She has guard skills that she can pull out when needed but gets most of her offense in the paint. Her length makes her a good rebounder and a great shot blocker. 2023 5-foot-11 forward Olivia Hutcherson Olivia Hutcherson 6'0" | PF Holy Innocents' | 2023 State GA provides a similar toughness. Her rim protection and versatility gives her great upside moving forward.
