Of the top 50 female rebounding leaders in the country, the top 17 average at least 17 per game, including the national leader Kyana Johnson, of Trinity Christian Academy (Deltona, Fla.), at 23.0 per contest.

One of the more amazing top rebounders is Jessica Larson, who stands just 5-foot-6, yet averages 21.4 caroms a game for Hearts for Jesus Christ (North Olmstead, Ohio).

Larson had 15 in last week's 48-39 win over First Baptist Christian and now the Guardians begin their playoff run. Beyond her rebound totals, Larson averages 6.6 points and 6.2 steals per game.

Another Ohio standout still in the playoff hunt is Alexia Mobley, a 6-2 sophomore from Whitehall-Yearling who is fourth in the nation at 20.6 rebounds per game. She also averages 17.9 points per game for the 20-5 Rams, who take on Lakewood in a state Division II playoff game on Thursday. Mobley had 15 points and 20 rebounds in a 55-52 win over Highland last week.
