West Georgia is getting a tough playmaker that can control the tempo. Dunning is a skilled ball handler that works well out of pick-and-rolls.

Getting two feet in the paint and finding the open man will be her area of focus in college.

Sofia scores at the rim, gobbles up rebounds and uses her strength and length to protect the hoop. Small schools looking for size to bolster their interior defense will want to check in. Reyes is flying under the radar.
2025 5-6 PG Sophia Pearl Sophia Pearl 5'8" | PG River Ridge | 2025 State GA – River Ridge

She is a versatile piece, strong enough to rebound and consistently score down low but she is also skilled enough to play on the perimeter and stretch the defense. She drained a pair of threes and scored on a drive. She’s an interesting long-term prospect.
2022 6-2 C La’Rekia Terrell – Newton
Terrell came off the bench but the big bruiser immediately made and impact with her size and physicality combatting the length of River Ridge. She muscled her way to 5 points and 7 rebounds. Terrell is strong up top. She moves opponents out of the way for rebounds and can finish through contact.
