Last year, some of the top players in the country were recognized in various High School Sports Awards shows that are part of the USA Today High School Sports Awards program. Here are five of those players who could be chosen today for the girls game. HSSA honors: The 2024 OKC Metro High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball Player of the Year 247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 17 overall College: Committed to Kansas. Evaluation: A shooting guard and small forward swing-man, Parks shoots the ball well and can also handle it in pressure situations. She is valuable because she can help bring the ball up court when needed, but can also spot up and hit an outside shot. She should add strength in college which will elevate her game as well. McDonald's chances: High The 2024-25 OKC Metro High School Sports Awards show is on June 10 at the Young Family Athletic Center is Norman. 🚨 SIGNED 🚨 KEELEY PARKS 5'11 Guard • Norman, OK • Norman HS #RockChalk x @KeeleyParks04 — Kansas Women's Basketball (@KUWBball) November 21, 2024 HSSA honors: 2024 Arizona High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball nominee 247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 20 overall College: Committed to North Carolina Evaluation: At 6-feet tall, Henderson is listed as a small forward but has shown the ability to play both on the perimeter and in the post. A lefty, she still has some work to do to become a valuable outside shooter in college, but the potential is there. She has the length to defend and rebound against bigger players. McDonald's chances: Good 2025 5 ⭐️ Canadian Wing Taliyah Henderson out of Arizona has committed to North Carolina. Nice pick up for Banghart and staff. — Jay (@JayHardy252) August 24, 2024 The Arizona High School Sports Awards, Presented by Diamond Kitchen & Bath, is June 4 at Orpheum Theater in Phoenix HSSA honors: 2024 Northeast Wisconsin High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball nominee 247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 29 overall College: Committed to Maryland Evaluation: In high school, Welson has been a drive first forward who has created a lot of shots off the dribble. Having said that, her outside shot has improved each year. How much move it improves could be a big factor in her college success. McDonald's chances: Average The 2024-25 Northeast Wisconsin High School Sports Awards are June 20 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The show is produced with the support of Cellcom. @RaineyWelson hits her 2,000th point from deep! — Lady Hoops Pride (@hladyhoops) January 25, 2025 HSSA honors: 2024 OKC Metro High School Sports Awards Girls Basketball nominee 247 Sports recruit ranking: 4-star, No. 34 overall prospect College: Committed to Oklahoma Evaluation: Lofton can flat out get up and down the court, even when she has the ball. The left-hander will attack the basket, especially off the fast break. She is also a very good perimeter defender. She will need to improve her mid-range shot in college, but has potential to be excellent in that capacity as well.
