Kyle Williams' Super 25 high school girls basketball rankings for Jan. 4

Kyle Williams' top 25 high school girls basketball teams are on the move, and for Providence senior Eilish Raines, playing guard is an essential role. Not because of her scoring prowess but to keep defenses honest, allowing senior Landrie Callahan, junior Layken Callahan, and Taylor Healey to dominate in the paint.

Eilish's ability to control the pace and feed her teammates has been instrumental in the Celtics' 16-2 start this season. Her unselfishness is contagious, helping her team thrive in a paint-first approach. Raines' remarkable vision and assist-to-turnover ratio demonstrate her growth as a player.

In other news, Benet (No. 1) takes on Marist (No. 9) Monday at 7:00 p.m. in a rematch of their Montini Christmas Tournament championship game. This highly anticipated matchup will showcase Marist's fun offense and Benet's stifling defense. On the opposite side, Naperville Central (No. 3) hosts Loyola Academy (No. 4) on Monday at 7:00 p.m., featuring Clemson recruit Trinity Jones.

The Super 25 rankings are constantly evolving. Providence moves up to No. 14 after a loss to Notre Dame Academy. Glenbard West takes over the No. 15 spot, while Downers Grove North climbs to No. 16. St. Ignatius rounds out the top 25 at No. 25.

The week's games to watch include Providence's matchup against Lincoln-Way on Wednesday and Marist's rematch against Benet on Monday. Meanwhile, Naperville Central takes on Loyola Academy on Monday, with Trinity Jones looking to lead her team to victory.
 
I don't get it, all these girls are playing like pros already πŸ€” but they're still in high school? Like, what's the rush? They should just be enjoying their time and not getting so serious about this whole basketball thing. And Eilish Raines, she's a great player and all, but is her team really relying on her to keep defenses honest? Can't Landrie Callahan and Layken Callahan do that themselves? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
omg u guys! I'm loving how Eilish Raines is using her skills to help her teammates score instead of just focusing on scoring herself πŸ€©πŸ€ it's all about teamwork and having each other's backs, right? and can't wait for the games this week, esp the rematch between Marist and Benet - should be so intense! πŸ’₯ And Trinity Jones is looking good, hopefully she'll lead Naperville Central to a win 😊.
 
so its crazy how much of a difference Eilish Raines makes for her team, even if shes not the top scorer. just by keeping defenses honest and controlling the pace, she allows her teammates to dominate in the paint 🀯

i love how providence's coach is getting creative with their lineup, putting Layken Callahan and Taylor Healey together to make a formidable force in the paint πŸ”₯ meanwhile, benet's defense is looking pretty solid, especially against marist's fun offense πŸ“Š

anyway, super excited for the week's games, esp the providence lincoln-way matchup on wednesday and naperville central's showdown with loyola academy on monday πŸ€πŸ‘€
 
omg u guys, i cant even! 🀩 the way Eilish Raines is playing for Providence is straight fire πŸ”₯ she's not just a great player, but her unselfishness and ability to control the pace of the game is giving her teammates so much confidence πŸ’ͺ i mean, who else can say they're helping their team thrive with a paint-first approach? 🀯 benet vs marist on monday tho... that's gonna be epic! πŸŽ‰ and Naperville Central taking down Loyola Academy is gonna be super interesting too πŸ‘€ cant wait to see how Trinity Jones leads her team to victory πŸ’ͺ #Super25 #GirlsBasketball #EilishRaines
 
I'm so stoked for Eilish Raines and the Providence Celtics! She's literally the heartbeat of their team, always keeping it moving and making sure everyone gets involved. I mean, she's not gonna be the top scorer every time, but she makes sure Landrie, Layken, and Taylor have all the space they need to destroy in the paint. Her assist-to-turnover ratio is crazy low, that's a sign of how well she's developed her game πŸ€©πŸ€
 
I'm loving the underdog story of Glenbard West jumping up to No. 15 its gotta be exciting for their fans! And I'm curious to see how Eilish Raines and Providence will bounce back from that loss to Notre Dame Academy, she's been playing some incredible basketball and her unselfishness is definitely a game-changer πŸ€πŸ’ͺ
 
I mean, what's next? Basketball teams just deciding to 'move' around a lot? I'm sure it's not like they're actually playing each other or anything πŸ˜’. And don't even get me started on these rankings... 16-2 and suddenly you're ranked #14? That sounds like a bunch of hooey to me πŸ€”. I swear, the only thing that's 'contagious' about Eilish Raines is her ability to mess up the scoreboard πŸ’Έ. Can't we just have some honest results for once?
 
I just love watching these talented young ladies take the court πŸ€πŸ‘§β€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ! It's like they're carrying on a tradition of amazing girls basketball from back in my day... remember when we had those awesome WNBA players like Sheryl Swoopes and Chamique Holdsclaw? πŸ’β€β™€οΈ Anyway, I'm loving Eilish Raines' unselfish game style, it's so refreshing to see her just doing her thing on the court without all the drama πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ. And can we talk about how exciting that matchup between Benet and Marist is going to be? Reminds me of those classic showdowns between East St. Louis and Champaign Centennial back in the 90s πŸ”₯!
 
omg this eilish raines is like a genius out there πŸ€―πŸ€ her ability to control the pace and feed her teammates is literally game changing πŸ”„πŸ’ͺ i love how she's not trying to be the hero, but just letting her teammates shine πŸ’« especially landrie callahan, that girl can dominate in the paint πŸ”₯πŸ’₯
 
idk how teams can be so predictable πŸ€”, benet vs marist is gonna be a close game btw, both r killing it this season πŸ’ͺ and I'm loving the way providence's playing together as a unit, that eilish raines girl is pure magic ✨
 
I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL HOW EILISH RAINES IS HELPING HER TEAM BY LETTING OTHERS DOMINATE IN THE PAINT! 🀩 SHE'S NOT JUST ABOUT SCORING, BUT ALSO ABOUT CONTROLLING THE GAME AND GETTING OTHERS INVOLVED. I MEAN, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO PLAY WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN FEED YOU THE BALL LIKE THAT? πŸ’ͺ IT'S LIKE SHE'S THE PERFECT COACH ON THE COURT! πŸ€
 
omg did u see providence move up 2 no 14 tho? eilish raines is literally killing it as a guard 🀯 she's got that clutch pass and control the pace like a pro πŸ‘€ meanwhile benet & marist are gonna go down in a rematch 🀴 cant wait to see naperville central take on loyola academy monday πŸ€
 
I'm loving this high school hoops season so far! πŸ€ Eilish Raines is such a cool coach, she knows exactly how to play to her team's strengths without trying to be the hero herself. I mean, having a player who can control the pace of the game like that is super valuable. It's all about teamwork and trust, you know? And it's awesome to see the Celtics playing paint-first ball - those big girls are going to run wild on their opponents! πŸŒͺ️ Can't wait to see more of these games and see how teams adapt as the rankings change πŸ€”
 
I'm loving how the Celtics' coaching staff is leveraging Eilish Raines' strengths by having her play guard instead of scoring all the points herself. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we've got our stars in the paint, let's make sure our defense and mid-range game is on point too." And it's working! The Celtics are killing it with a 16-2 start, and Raines' assist-to-turnover ratio is actually really impressive. I mean, she's not just scoring or passing, she's making smart decisions that keep her teammates happy and the opponents guessing.

It'll be fun to watch this matchup between Benet and Marist on Monday - I think Benet's defense will give them a tough time. And Naperville Central hosting Loyola Academy is looking like it could go either way, but Trinity Jones is definitely someone to watch out for! The Super 25 rankings are always shifting, but some teams seem to be stuck in a rut and not making the most of their talent.
 
I gotta say, this Eilish Raines girl is a total game-changer! 🀩 She's all about setting up her teammates and controlling the pace of the game - it's so cool to watch! And I love how she's not just worried about scoring herself, but making sure her squad is on point too. πŸ’ͺ Her unselfishness is totally contagious, you know? It's like she's a conductor leading her team to victory πŸŽ΅πŸ€
 
πŸ€” I mean, have you ever noticed how when someone puts your own needs first, it actually helps others thrive too? Like Eilish Raines' selfless play is what makes her teammates better players, not the other way around. It's all about finding that balance and using your strengths to support those around you. πŸ’ͺ
 
I'm loving the ladies' hoops scene right now! These girls are like a well-oiled machine, each one bringing their A-game to the court. I mean, Eilish Raines is like the conductor of a basketball orchestra - she's got everyone in sync and playing off each other's strengths. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good paint-first approach? It's like they're saying, "Hey, defense, you can try to stop us, but we've got this one covered!"

And can we talk about Trinity Jones for a sec? She's like the new LeBron James - all that talent and potential at such a young age. I'm low-key excited to see her take on Naperville Central.

On a more serious note (just for a sec), I love how these teams are making waves in the Super 25 rankings. It's amazing to see so much competition out there, each team bringing their own unique style and strengths to the table. Bring it on, basketball season! πŸ€πŸ‘Š
 
OMG u guys I'm literally so confused why is Providence team moving up tho they lost to Notre Dame Academy? shouldn't that count for less or somethin πŸ€”πŸ‘€ And what's the deal with Glenbard West getting #15 spot when they beat some other teams already? wasn't that a stronger performance? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Also, Trinity Jones is gonna be sooo hyped if she beats her team in Naperville Central game πŸ˜‚ I need more recs on who to watch out for this week tho! πŸ’β€β™€οΈ
 
omg I'm so hyped for the upcoming games espically that rematched between Benet and Marist! 🀯 they're like total opposites in terms of style but it's gonna be epic to see how it plays out. also, Trinity Jones is looking πŸ”₯ on her Clemson recruit status, can't wait to see what she brings to Naperville Central. Eilish Raines is so underrated btw, her gameplay is insane πŸ’ͺ
