Berlin, OH: Lady Baller Insider made the trip to Berlin, OH for the Classic in The Country. Here are our top 10 performers from the loaded event.
KK Bransford (2022) Mount Notre Dame
OH MY! That’s all you could say this weekend watching Bransford. The Notre Dame commit had it going on the offensive end, using her strength to finish through contact and bully her way around the paint. Bransford plays her own pace letting the game come to her as she dominated her opponents in both games finishing the final game with 24 pts and the dagger to put away Olmsted Falls on Sunday.
Lanae Riley (2022) | Archbishop Hoban
Riley is a player you call dominant! Riley led the Hoban group in scoring in both games as they remained undefeated; the Middle Tennessee State commit ran the floor very well, crashed the glass, and even played the passing lanes coming up with some steals. Riley will be an exciting player to watch at the next level.
Kyla Oldacre (2022) | Mason (OH)
Oldcare is that defensive leader that every coach wants leading the team on defense. Oldacre came up with a handful of big-time blocks as she owned the paint on both ends, rebounding, running the floor, and used her soft touch around the rim to make some tough shots. Oldacre is very active on the floor and uses her frame to her advantage as she went back to the basket and even was able to face up and put the ball on the ground to get a bucket.
Mari Bickley (2023) | Shaker Heights Laurel Academy
Bickley is so smooth, not the fastest player on the court, but very crafty and uses her high IQ to get the job done. Bickley can drive and create for her teammates, making everyone on the court better around her. While Bickley can get teammate's open looks, Bickley can put the ball on the ground and shake her defenders to get to her spots and put the ball in the rim. Bickley might not be very loud on the court, but her performances are.
Madison Parrish (2025) | Mason (OH)
Parrish is a well-rounded player guarding every team’s best player 94 feet and giving her all on every possession. The freshman guard played hard on both ends of the floor Parrish has a smooth stroke and hit a lot of big shots from deep; Parrish didn’t let the pressure of the other team’s defense speed her up the freshman guard is very poised and under control in all situations.
Brielle Williams (2022) | Glen Oak
Williams is a speedy guard who plays at a pace many can’t play at. Don’t let Williams size fool you; Williams got in on the boards and even came up with some blocks this weekend. The 2022 guard kept the defense on their toes, and she is very explosive to the basket and can knock it down from deep. Williams was very impressive this weekend.
Kira Reynolds (2025) | South Bend Washington
Reynolds was impressive this weekend, clinching a double-double in game one battling down low on both ends, crashing the offensive and defensive glass. Reynold’s footwork and soft touch around the rim made it difficult to defend. The 2025 wing was able to push the break and face up and put the ball on the ground to blow by defenders and finish at the rim.
Ajia Schreffler (2022) | New Philadelphia
Schreffler caused chaos by doing everything for the group. Schreffler’s ability to get up and down and run the floor is everything a coach could ask for, and she was able to finish dump offs around the basket. Finishing with a double-double performance, Schhreffler is a player no coach wants to go up against as she gives 110% on every possession.
Imarianah Russell (2022) | Reynoldsburg
Russell is different! This weekend, Russell had her way at nationally ranked Regis Jesuit (CO), finishing with 22 points and nine rebounds. Russell could not be stopped. Russell used her explosiveness and strength to get to the basket and finish through contact converting multiple and-1 situations. Russell is also very active on the glass on the offensive and defensive end, playing hard on every possession. Russell never takes a play off. Can’t wait to see Russell play at the next level.
Rylee Sagester (2023) | Tri-Village
Sagester looked good for Tri-village this weekend. Rylee is solid at the guard spot as she handled the pressure well, breaking the press and finding open teammates. Sagester filled it up from deep; if you give her an inch of space, she would let you have it by knocking down a handful of deep balls. Sagester got it done within the offense letting the shots come to her even though she was hitting, playing a very mature game for Tri-Valley as they get the victory.
