Names You Need to Know

What I appreciate about events like the Super 60 Showcase is the chance to observe players up close. Some I've seen before, as mentioned in this article, and then there are those I get to examine more closely. Following the showcase, here are a few names of players you should keep an eye on. They are poised to make an impact at the high school level, whether it's this year or in the near future.

Claire Citty | Point Guard | Harding Academy | 2026

I've seen Claire play in the past, but at the camp, I had the opportunity to closely observe her. I was thoroughly impressed by her speed, particularly in the open court—she's even quicker and faster than I initially thought. Claire skillfully navigated to the rim for short jumpers and finishes over the defense. Her versatile skill set enables her to excel in either guard position. The potential and ability are undoubtedly present, and as she continues to enhance her skills and strength, she will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge for her opponents.

Kristyn Cooper | Point Guard | LR Parkview | 2026

Get prepared when you're up against Kristyn. She brings an incredible level of energy and effort to the game that might make you ask her to ease up. Her motor runs non-stop, epitomizing the phrase "All gas, no breaks." However, this doesn't mean she plays recklessly—Kristyn knows when to accelerate the pace and can effectively manage the team in the half-court. Her speed and quickness are substantial assets, enabling her to skillfully break down defenders and effortlessly drive to the rim.

Brooklyn Owens | Combo Guard | Stuttgart | 2026

If you're not careful, Brooklyn can quietly dismantle your defense. She skillfully navigates to the rim for a smooth finish, confidently hits mid-range jumpers, and can even sink a couple of three-pointers. Before you know it, she's in double figures with a few assists to complement her scoring. Brooklyn consistently demonstrates excellent control over the team, seamlessly shifting to the wing and playing off the ball when needed. She's a player who simply steps on the court and takes care of business.

Jermera Streets | Point Guard | Mills High School | 2027

Jermera is an agile and rapid guard, presenting a challenging defensive matchup. She skillfully blends changes of pace with bursts of speed, keeping defenders on their toes. Her footwork stands out, particularly when she initiates attacks off the dribble. Jermera's proficiency in driving to the rim often forces defenders to sag off to defend, but she can counter with a reliable long-range jumper. When both her jumper and driving game are on point, facing her becomes a test of hope for the best defensive outcome.

Chyna Johnson | Point Guard | Star City High School | 2027

Better lace up your track shoes, because Chyna thrives on playing at a fast pace. She relentlessly pushes the ball up and down the court, seeking easy lay-ups or short jumpers for herself, all while displaying the vision to create opportunities for her teammates. On the defensive end, she applies excellent pressure, disrupting the opposing ball handler and dictating a pace that makes them uncomfortable. Watching Chyna throughout her high school career is sure to be an exciting experience.

Brenaesia Moore | Wing | Star City | 2027

Brenaesia is a versatile player, capable of occupying various positions. Whether in the wing or forward roles, she showcases adaptability by playing with physicality in the low post or finesse on the perimeter. She aggressively attacks missed shots, displaying fearlessness in seeking finishes even amidst contact. As a freshman this year, she has substantial room for growth, and as she continues to develop and refine her skills, she will undoubtedly elevate her threat level on the floor.
