One of the latest programs to benefit from a flurry of incoming ability is Emerald Ridge High School, based in the Puyallup, Washington area. This season has shown a glimpse of what’s to come for the next couple years in the Emerald Ridge program. Below are standout college prospects that are recruitable to some level.
Crew of 2023s:
5’9 G Maya Barnett Maya Barnett 5'10" | SG Emerald Ridge | 2023 State WA – Physical guard that can handle, pass and hit some outside jumpers. Maya is an excellent cutter without the ball in her hands and she consistently displays a high basketball IQ. NCAA Division 1 South Alabama is the latest school to get involved in her recruitment.
5’9 G Marecia Barnett Marecia Barnett 5'10" | SG Emerald Ridge | 2023 State WA – Twin sister to Maya, Marecia has the same physicality from the guard position and high basketball IQ. Marecia is hands down one of the state’s best passers and probably her best talent on the floor. South Alabama is also in contact with the sophomore.
5’6 CG Monique Carter Monique Carter 5'7" | PG Emerald Ridge | 2023 State WA – A scrappy guard that can play one or two on offense, but she can also defend the one or two on defense. She is quick and aggressive and capable of turning defense to offense.
5’9 SG Alina Sapilak Alina Sapilak 5'10" | SG Emerald Ridge | 2023 State WA – A guard with some natural ability that can hit the three or midrange jumper. Sapilak has some deceptive jumping ability as well that helps her with grabbing boards, contesting shots and scoring around the basket.
2022 Impact Transfer:
5’9 SF Kali Haizlip Kali Haizlip 5'9" | SF Emerald Ridge | 2022 State WA – A transfer from Squalicum High School. Haizlip is a strong wing that brings some versatility to the court. She can board, push on the break and drive to score.
