In this article, I would like to break down some of the top players in Class 4A Region 4. The top overall seed in this region is Calvary Christian Academy. The Eagles are 19-6 overall and currently on a nine-game winning streak. Three of their six losses were to teams from out of state. The rest of the field has some dangerous teams.
Markeli Jones-Tynes Markeli Jones-Tynes 5'9" | PG Westminster Academy | 2025 State FL – Calvary Christian Academy
2025 Markeli Jones-Tynes Markeli Jones-Tynes 5'9" | PG Westminster Academy | 2025 State FL gets the job done at point guard. The 5-foot-9 prospect is averaging 9.6 points and 6.9 assists per game. That is good for a 3/1 assist/turnover ratio. Jones-Tynes has seven 10-assist games with just 13 turnovers. 2022 Samiyah Briggs Samiyah Briggs 5'7" | SG Calvary Christian | 2022 State FL is leading the Eagles with 16.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting a team-best 48 percent from the field. 2022 Elizabeth Schnell Elizabeth Schnell 5'7" | CG Calvary Christian Academy | 2022 State FL is averaging 16.1 points per game while shooting 44 percent from the field. Moreover, she has made 82 3-pointers! 5-foot-11 Jocelyn Gagnon Jocelyn Gagnon 5'10" | SF Somerset Prep North Lauderdale | 2024 State FL can also stretch the floor with 42 3-pointers. 2024 Nahilah Clarke Nahilah Clarke 5'8" | SG Somerset Prep North Lauderdale | 2024 State FL is second on the team with 5.8 rebounds per game. The Eagles have playmakers across the board.
2028 Alana Pinnock Alana Pinnock 5'6" | PG FL led No. 8 seed Somerset Academy-Canyons in scoring with 15.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.5 steals per game while shooting 45 percent from the floor. Just a sixth grader. That’s impressive!
No. 4 Cardinal Gibbons and No. 5 American Heritage-Delray is an interesting game. 2022 Raven Hunter Raven Hunter 5'10" | CG American Heritage Delray | 2022 State FL leads the Stallions in points (17.4 ppg) and rebounds (7.7 rpg). Cardinal Gibbons has a playmaker in Konstantina Mantziori Konstantina Mantziori 5'6" | PG Cardinal Gibbons | 2023 State FL . The 5-foot-6 guard is a great ball handler, passer, and decision maker. Mantziori is a natural leader and her offensive game is developing. 2022 Chloe Celler Chloe Celler 5'8" | SF Cardinal Gibbons | 2022 State FL can score off the dribble and hit an outside shot. Her and Mantziori are two players that can work off one another. 2022 Taylor Williams is a player I really like in transition. The 5-foot-9 wing is athletic and can make plays in the open floor.
I see #7 seed Gulliver Prep as a dangerous team. 2023 Madison Aguilera Madison Aguilera 5'3" | PG Gulliver Prep | 2023 State FL is capable of hitting a half dozen or more 3-pointers. The 5-foot-4 guard is a 20-point scorer with over 1000 points in her high school career. Aguilera can carry a quarter by herself. Do not leave her open! 2022 Riana Doctor Riana Doctor 6'0" | PF Gulliver Prep | 2022 State FL is long and athletic enough to control the inside. The 6-foot forward can put down a double-double on any given night. Doctor is averaging 15.9 points and 8.6 boards per game. #2 Miami Slam has quick freshman guards and a tough center in 6-foot-1 Karla Quintero Karla Quintero 6'1" | PF SLAM! Miami | 2022 State FL . Quintero is durable and capable of positioning herself down low for easy lay-ins. Guard Jim’Miyah Branton has bounce and can rebound (7.2 rpg) while Samantha Bautista Samantha Bautista 5'7" | CG SLAM! (Miami) | 2025 State FL can shoot the three (37 percent). This could be a very good game.
No. 3 seed Mater Lakes Academy has two very good 2024’s in Kalia Harrington Kalia Harrington 5'8" | SG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2024 State FL and Khadee Hession Khadee Hession 5'10" | CG St Thomas Aquinas | 2024 State FL . The pair have combined for 26 points, 14.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 6.4 steals per game. Furthermore, Harrington has knocked down a team-best 42 3-pointers. 2023’s Alondra Grullon and Victoria Escribano can score a bit too. They each average over eight points per game. 2022 Prema Duarte Prema Duarte 5'6" | PG State FL can shoot the three at 38 percent. 2024 Adena Webster leads Pace with 16.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. 2025 Alessandra Bonilla Alessandra Bonilla 5'7" | SG Monsignor Edward Pace | 2025 State FL is a solid guard that can score over 16 points per game and defend. The Spartans lost two games to the Bears by a combined six points. This one might be good one as well.
