<p class="text-gray-700">Artman is tall, active, and has a big arm swing that should only get more powerful as she builds more strength. The Gig Harbor prospect can play as a middle or as a right side, and the RS is where she shined during the fall school season. She can cut the ball sharply to the angle or drive it down the line, her approach is excellent and she keeps the ball in front where she can operate to all areas of the court. Artman has a high ceiling and should keep improving throughout this season.</p>

"Lizzy" has great hand contact and a fast arm swing, she generates nice power even on a short middle or right-side approach. O'Connell has excellent footwork and a nice ability to see and operate around the block, she consistently drives the ball at tough angles to score.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Torrell has versatility along the front line, she can play either pin and has played the middle in high school. We like the springy junior from Bainbridge High School on the right side, she can use her athleticism and timing to get her feet to the set and deliver quality swings to score. Torrell is the #9 ranked right side in the rankings, and Bainbridge will be counting on the 2026 prospect for big things this fall.</p>

Moffitt is very comfortable swinging hard angle from her right side position, hustles, and is gritty and nimble defensively. She is new to the rankings and lands as the #14 overall Right Side in this update.</p>
