Top 10 Illinois girls basketball players in Class of 2023
10. Sophie Swanson, guard, Barrington
Swanson, a 5-foot-10 shooting guard, had a strong junior campaign leading her Barrington Fillies squad, leading the unit all the way to the Class 4A state championship where they fell just short of a title. During the season, Swanson averaged 21 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists while helping the Fillies to a 30-6 record. She was named the Class 4A Player of the Year and a first-team all-state member for her efforts. The senior committed to Purdue University in January.
Committed.
Huge thank you to my family, @wolverinasbb, @bhsfilliesbball and everyone who has helped me navigate this process. I would not be in this position without the help of Coach Kipley and Coach Barreiro. I am so excited to announce my commitment to @PurdueWBB! #boilerup pic.twitter.com/xqFWHqyWDp
