We just want you all to get to know them.
Brooke Hallman Brooke Hallman 5'9" | SF Auburn | 2025 State AL | 5-8 CG | Auburn. This is one of those players that you feel was born with a basketball in her hands. Brooke has a high basketball IQ and don’t leave her open on the offensive side of the ball because she will make you pay with her good shooting form. If necessary she will also put it on the floor and get to the basketball. Brooke works hard on the other side of the floor, being that “pest” in defending her opponents. Another starter since 8th grade and is currently rated #5 in our most recent rankings of this 2025 class. Also Brooke has recently transferred to Auburn HS.
Jaliyah Smith Jaliyah Smith 5'10" | PF Bob Jones | 2025 State AL | 5-10 PF | Sparkman. Jaliyah is up first, she is a starter on her high school varsity squad and was instrumental in helping Sparkman get into the post-season, she has that length that gives other teams a problem. She can defend the basket whether it’s blocking shoots or getting those defensive rebounds. Jaliyah also has a nice shot and her offense will only get better as she continues to mature. She is also ranked in the top 10 of our class in our rankings.
Journey Smith Journey Smith 5'6" | PG Sylacauga | 2025 State AL | 5-6 CG | Sylacauga. Journey is a Prep Girls Hoop Circuit player and has made a name for herself in all of our PGH Circuit events. She has been name Top Performer and made all tournament team in a couple events. She has been on varsity since her 8th grade year at her school and is emerging as a leader in this program. Journey is a very smart basketball player that reads the defenses and recognizes mismatches on the offensive side when handling the ball. She will go to the basket expecting contact and is strong enough to finish. Sylacauga HS’ future is very bright with their young talent., and look for Journey to move up in our upcoming updated ranking of this class.
Otiscia Towns Otiscia Towns 5'7" | PG Parker | 2025 State AL | 5-7 PG | Parker. This is one of the premier players in the City of Birmingham school system, Otiscia is a hand full on both ends of the floor, she can shoot the lights out and is a good defender. OT as she is affectionately called is that player that will dismantle your defense with all of her offensive skills and will be a nightmare for your offensive with her quick hands and ability to read defense. Parker HS future is bright and her current ranking as a top 10 players will only go up with her continued hard work.
