<p class="text-gray-700">Based in Lexington, SC, Livi is a powerful left-handed hitter who led her HS team to a 5A state runner-up finish in 2024. She is a two-time All-State and All-Region player, and was even named the Lexington Chronicle Female Athlete of the Year for her impressive performance this past season. For Lexington High School, Livi batted .430 with 6 home runs during her sophomore year. As she returns to the field this fall with Carolina Cardinals Gore and Lexington in the spring, Livi is certainly a talented 2026 prospect to keep an eye on.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Based in Union, SC, Caroline is a three-time All-Region player who swings a big stick. She not only locks down the corner infield positions, but also is a talented catcher. Last season she hit nine home runs for her district runner-up and region champion high school team. She looks to take her high school team to a deeper postseason run in 2025. Caroline is another top 2026 prospect to keep an eye on, as her strength and stature give her a big advantage on the field.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">From Aynor, SC, Alivia is a force on the mound and in the infield. Over the past three high school seasons, Alivia was named an All-Region player each year and was named an All-State player the year her team won the AAA state championship (2023). This past spring, she had the opportunity to try out for the 18U USA Junior National Team, and was invited to attend the National Selection Event this December. As she prepares for this event and Aynor seeks its fourth straight state championship appearance in 2025, Alivia is a key player to keep an eye on.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Based in Williamston, SC, Halle is a CWS All-State pitcher who tops out at 64 mph. After suffering an ACL tear in late 2022, Halle bounced back to full strength, carrying her high school team to a region and district championship in 2024. Not only does Halle succeed on the mound, but she also carries her weight at the plate as well. After spending the majority of her summer at various college camps and top tournaments, Halle is definitely a player to keep on your radar as she chooses where to take her talents collegiately.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">From Lake Wylie, SC, Sydney is a tall, left-handed pitcher who helped her high school team reach the upper-state round last year in 5A. At Clover, Sydney is a two-time All-Region player and a varsity letter-earner since the 7th grade. Her pitches consistently clock in in the low 60s and have tons of spin on them. Her Team NC travel coaches describe Sydney as an athlete who "saw a ton of growth this summer." As she returns for her fifth varsity season and another year with Team NC, Sydney is a 2026 player with a lot of potential. She should certainly be a player college coaches keep tabs on.</p>
