Meghan Green is Still Number 1 in NH Class of 2013The following is the updated rankings for the class of 2013.
1. Meghan Green (6’1”, Bishop Guertin High School) – Green is a 6’1” forward with a very soft touch and a great set of hands. She is extremely coordinated for a player of her age and size. Green is very light on her feet and plays the game with grace. Her solid frame allows her to be a force on the block both on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. What impresses us the most about Green is that she is now starting to face up and put the ball to floor. If she continues to progress in all facets of her game Green has a chance to be a big time player. Green likely has more upside than any player in New Hampshire girls high school basketball.
2. Kelsey Brown (5’11", Oyster River High School) – Brown is a smooth combo guard who is capable of playing multiple positions on the floor. Brown has a great touch and she is a very good shooter from the outside. Standing at 5’11” and already playing the guard position Brown has a chance to be very good down the line as she is a tall guard. This youngster oozes with potential, and for that potential to be realized, she must continue to improve her guard skills. If that happens, we can expect very big things from Brown over the next couple of years.
3. Liz Laing (5’7", Pinkerton Academy High School) – Laing is by far the most athletic player in the class. She is a strong athletic guard with a solid frame. Laing is a lock down defender who loves to pressure the ball. She also is very active in passing lanes and comes up with steals which she converts to easy basket down the other end. Laing is a streaky outside shooter who is capable of making multiple shots in a row. At this point in her young career she is prone to turnovers and her shot selection at times is questionable. That is mostly due to her playing the game at such a fast pace. If Laing improves her skill set and continues to mature into a more seasoned player she has a chance to be real special. It should be very exciting to watch her game progress .
4. Nikki Hayner (5’9”, Bishop Guertin High School) - Hayner is extremely skilled and has a very solid all around game. Her size, strength, and great basketball sense is what makes her a very special player. Hayner is a tough combo guard who plays hard and with a purpose. She is very good at using her body to shield off defenders as she drives to the hoop. Hayner has a knack for scoring as she is very good at freeing herself up for easy baskets during the flow of the game. Hayner is very versatile and can play most positions on the floor. She is a great rebounder who attacks the glass all the time. Look for this youngster to do great things in the future.
5. Allie Hartford (5'5”, Manchester Memorial High School) - Hartford is the best point guard in the class of 2013. Hartford is quick and has a game that is well beyond her years. Hartford is a great decision maker who plays the game hard and with a purpose. Hartford understands angles and is extremely good at beating defenders and getting to the paint for an easy finish or dish to a teammate. She is also a very good shooter from the perimeter. Hartford is a lock down defender who loves to play pressure defense the full length of the floor. The bottom line with this young talent is that she is the ultimate floor general who always makes her presence felt on the basketball court.
