First Team
2024 Kloe Froebe Kloe Froebe 5'8" | CG Lincoln | 2024 State IL , 5’9” Guard, Illinois Elite
The Freshman from Lincoln, IL competed against some of the top players in Illinois throughout the tournament and made a big case for the #1 Ranking in the Class of 2024. Froebe is an incredibly skilled Combo Guard who scores it at a high-level from anywhere on the floor and plays well-beyond her years. Her potential is through the roof and I am very excited to watch her compete over the next few years.
2022 Aaliyah Smith Aaliyah Smith 5'5" | PG La Follette | 2022 State #19 Nation WI , 5’6” Guard, Example Sports
Smith is a high-level Point Guard with a great combination of speed, strength, and skill. She dominates in the open floor with her court vision and decision making and can finish through contact in the lane. Aaliyah also plays terrific on-ball defense, using her physicality and athleticism to make things difficult on opposing Point Guards.
2022 Brooklynn Gray, 6’0” Guard/Forward, Example Sports
Playing a Point-Forward role for the Example Sports 2022 team over the weekend, Gray is a matchup nightmare with her length and skill-set. She is a reliable ball-handler with great confidence on the perimeter and in transition. Brooklynn often moves down to the low-block where she uses her strength and a variety of post moves to convert at the rim.
2023 Ava Gugliuzza Ava Gugliuzza 5'7" | SG Lincoln-Way West | 2023 State IL , 5’7” Guard, Illinois Elite
Gugliuzza is a proven high-level shooter from beyond the three-point line who continues to improve her ball-handling and inside scoring. Ava can break-down defenders on the perimeter and uses her athleticism to attack the lane and finish with confidence at the basket.
2022 Emily Galvan Emily Galvan 5'7" | PG Rolling Meadows | 2022 State IL , 5’7” Guard, Illinois Rockets
A high-scoring Point Guard whose stock rises every time she takes the floor, Galvan started the tournament with an 18-point performance in her first game, which included a buzzer-beater three-pointer. Emily is an excellent shooter from deep and uses her ball-handling and quickness to beat defenders off the dribble and make plays in the lane.
Second Team
2023 Brianna Hill Brianna Hill 6'0" | CG Example Academy | 2023 State IL , 5’11” Guard, Example Sports
2023 Kree Nunnally Kree Nunnally 5'10" | SF Example Academy | 2023 State IL , 5’11” Forward, Illinois Elite
2022 Alayna Soukup Alayna Soukup 5'8" | CG Lake Zurich | 2022 State IL , 5’9” Guard, Illinois Elite
2022 Darryn Hood Darryn Hood 5'5" | CG Tindley | 2022 State IN , 5’5” Guard, Indiana Showcase Gorman
2022 Makenzie Carroll, 5’5” Guard, Indiana Showcase Gorman
