High School
Rueppell, a 5'9 guard from Jacksonville, averaged 6.8 points, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals as a junior at Bishop Kenny High School. She helped lead Bishop Kenny to back-to-back state semifinal appearances, a 25-5 record and a 17-game winning streak last season as a junior. The Jacksonville native scored a season-high 20 points and added seven assists in an 81-23 victory over Keystone Heights in February. Rueppell was also a threat behind the arc, knocking down 39 three-pointers a season ago.
 
    Octavia Blue on Rueppell…
    "I am excited to add Soph to the squad. Sophia is a player who knows how to run a team with toughness and command.  Her ability to     shoot deep threes allows up to stretch the defense."
 
    -Insider Exposure CEO John McGraw on Rueppell…
    "Quality pick up for coach Octavia Blue and staff from North Florida.  Rueppell is a long guard with range and should add some perimeter     shooting to the Owl's backcourt.  Has a chance to be a dynamic player for the next four years in Kennesaw."
