Below are players in the 3A class.
Victoria’s name has always been on the map.. and that’s overseas as well too. This past season, the amount of accolades she’s racked up has been countless, she’s secured D1 offers, and to top it off she made way her way into the 1000 points club in her 3rd year. The Montini program has taken another stride this season, and having the ball in Viki’s hands has been crucial to the teams winning. She can score at all levels, facilitate from all angles and has no fear. Coach Spanos and the Lady Broncos have a huge chance of returning to state, where the Montini program has always felt at home.
Froebe is easily one of the best 2024s in state, let alone one of the best players. Her game is one that needs to be seen in person, but her passion and energy can be felt through the screen. This past regular season, Kloe has put everyone back on notice with outstanding performances, and a couple new D1 offers as well. The one game I was in attendance for.. Kloe left the court with 43 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Numbers don’t lie people. Another number that doesn’t lie.. 29-0. She is the driving force behind her teams success, and I personally don’t see that stopping anytime soon.
Austin physical ability is beyond anything I’ve seen in a while. She’s built to take contact and shrug it off.. she has a tremendous quick step, and her vertical is crazy. She has peaked interest from some strong D1 programs over this past season, and when she’s standing out on a highly successful program like Nazareth Academy.. you understand why. She is hell to deal with on the offensive end due to being a complete physical mismatch (while still putting her skillset together). On the defensive end, she has the coordination to stick with guards and the strength to deal with bigs. She will also send your shot off the backboard or to the bleachers.
The skillset Nikki posses is still beyond her youth. She can run a show if you give her the keys, and she can also fill a role of whatever a program needs… which she’s showing now. Nikki is a mix of of her backcourt mates, but she still stands out immediately. From the silky smooth shot, the clear 20/20 vision, the ball on a string handles.. and her non bothered demeanor. The kid is poised for the big moment.. and since State is in their view.. I believe Nikki is about to unlock a new level of what she can do.
Highlights
Highly regarded as the most creative floor general in the state, Aubrey continues to create a separate lane for herself no matter what jersey she’s wearing. AAU and or High-school.. she will leave fans, coaches, referees.. honestly anyone who’s watching in AWE. The ball handling, the natural feel for the game, and the intensity on defense are just a few tools in her bag. This year she’s shown the improvement and confidence in her shot, which was always there, but now she’s using it to space the court even more. The kid just plays with headphones on. The better the players around her, the better Galvan becomes. Her size doesn’t matter.. she’s beyond gifted.
You can count on Davis to give you 100% on every possession, and on the defensive side there’s is no drop down. Offensively, Madison is a true three level threat.. (new member of the 1k point club) and thats without the ball as well. Most players who are the focal point of their program can’t contribute if the ball isn’t stuck to their hand.. Davis knows how to get herself open, which is a skill within itself. The potential is high.
Highlights
A double double type of skillset… and thats on a nightly basis. Miller has the strength, the versatility, and the “work harder than the next player” type of mindset. This season she notched 1000 points and 500 rebounds.. with another varsity season to go. Lauren can hang with some of the best stretch post in the state, and this season has proved that. Her energy and motor are a key reason for the success of her program, and the constant need to get better, will be key going into the post season.
Highlights
Lefty’s are known to have the best shots in this sport.. and when you watch Audrey shoot the ball, she backs up the stigma. The fluidity, the arc, the concentration.. her shot is mechanically perfect. When you match that with the strength, Mahoney has the potential to be a true stretch 4 at the collegiate level. The St. Ignatius program has leveled up this year, and Audrey has been a strong piece to what they’re doing.
