I really appreciated the hospitality shown by Tournament Directors at both locations and I will do my best to evaluate all of the talent that is here in this event. These are the Top Performers of Saturdays games we watched and evaluated girls.

– (Committed to Stanford) Jzaniya can play the game, she is crafty with the ball and runs her team to perfection, but do not get me wrong with her, she showed us she can score it as well. Her pull up three pointer is deadly and her silky drives to the basket make her a problem on the floor. Her passing ability is pretty good and she seems to be never rattled, but we would like to see her assist more often to teammates, she will have to do that on the next level.
2021, 6’0, SF, Redwood HS, Kylie Horstmeyer Kylie Horstmeyer 6'0" | SG Redwood City | 2021 State CA – (Committed to USD) Kylie is multi skilled in the paint and on the perimeter, she can break you down off the dribble or pull up a midrange shot in your face. She runs the floor like a guard and is agile in the open floor, she is skilled down low as well with both hands and is a threat to score each every time she has the ball. She will need to be more of a defender in college, but she is not having those types of problems right now at the high school and club level.
2022, 6’2, PF, Rocklin HS, Mary Carter – Big guard with a nice college ready body right now with great toughness and grittiness to her game. She is an elite defender on and off the ball and she talks to her teammates on the floor and lets them know where they are on defense. She is also a capable offensive threat on the floor, she can get to the rim and finish thru contact as well as knock down the midrange shot on the pull up. She is very solid in our eyes.
2022, 6’0, SF, Granite Bay HS, Julia Riley – Lefty shooter with a nice stroke from the outside, you know lefty always have sweet shots and she is no exception. We really like her size and agility on the floor, she was able to get up and down with the best of them, she was a gazelle in our opinion. She set good screens for her teammates and popped out for the silky sweet three pointer for nothing but net. Definitely a kid to look at in our book as well.
2021, 6’3, PF/C, Harvard Westlake HS, Kiki Iriafen – (Committed to Stanford) Kiki is a beast and she proves it each and every time she plays on the floor, she can run down the floor and snatch a pass and score with either hand or run you down and block your shot off the board. She is an offensive threat in every since of the word, she can shoot the midrange from the free throw line and then she can post you up in the paint and turn and almost jump over you for the basket.
2021, 5’6, PG, Corona Centennial HS, Jayda Curry Jayda Curry 5'6" | PG Corona Centennial | 2021 State CA (Committed to Cal) – Jayda is exciting to watch every time she plays in a game, she is electric, she is tough, she is relentless on the court and proves it daily. She can get to the rim, which is her specialty and she does it well cause she is able to draw contact and the foul often. She can shoot the ball from deep, get to the rim, but her midrange game is improving. She will play the point guard in college and need to distribute a little more, but she is proven and ready for the next level.
2021, 5’6, SG, Mater Dei HS, Alyssa Frescas Alyssa Frescas 5'8" | SG Mater Dei | 2021 State CA (Committed to UNLV) – Alyssa is a bonefide shooter in our book, she is always ready to shoot it, she can shoot off the catch, off the pull up and off the dribble. She got to the rim today, which was good to see, she will have to do that more on the next level, but her shooting ability will set her apart from all others on the next level.
