Dec. 23, 2022 — The Last Prime 50

After massaging this record of groups over a number of tall glasses of egg nog (non-alcoholic, thoughts you), we expect we got here up with a reasonably good Prime 50. A number of the choices over these groups got here from what I noticed with my very own eyes over video the final two weeks of the season, together with what we noticed throughout our On-The-Go narrative on Nov. twelfth.

For the third yr in a row, Delmar (Del.) graded out as the perfect workforce within the nation. I do know there’s plenty of different groups who’ve a declare to the highest spot on foundation of their resumes of who they performed. However Delmar, as I’ve argued, has performed a unique fashion of hockey than another workforce within the U.S. due to the well-skilled Bradford and Hollamon sisters. It’s a fashion which is more likely to change in 2023 as solely Jordyn Hollamon stays of the 4 cousins.

San Diego Canyon Hills (Calif.), led by a high-quality senior named Venassa Orlina-Mincy, is our No. 2 workforce, with Cherry Hill Camden Catholic (N.J.) a gallant third. It’s an important group of groups main the Prime 50, an inventory which has been upset due to the variety of groups which have received their first main trophies in 2022.
