Kate Harpring, Saniyah Hall lead Naismith Girls’ High School Player of the Year semifinalists
The best girls’ basketball prospects, like Saniyah Hall, Kate Harpring, and Jerzy Robinson, headline the semifinalists for the 2026 Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy Girls’ High School Player of the Year award.
Of the ten semifinalists, only two are non-seniors. Kaleena Smith, the top-ranked player among incoming seniors, guided Ontario Christian to a 27-1 record. The Knights will start the playoffs against Rancho Christian in the CIF Southern Section Open Division Pool Play on February 12. Similarly, Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka is the No. 2 prospect from the Class of 2027. She is the main reason behind Bullis School’s 18-5 record with three games left on its schedule.
Meanwhile, the seniors might have the edge in winning this award. Saniyah Hall has been the driving force behind SPIRE Academy’s undefeated season. The five-star point guard also won the Cleveland Sports Female High School Athlete of the Year.
