Kenzi Mitchell-5’6 G LaVega [2023]
Mitchell was the GLUE as she played solid defense, hit teammates with solid passes, and just played under control and within herself. Her clutch shooting in the semifinals helped them get here and she ends her high school career with not only a State Championship but being selected to the All-Tournament squad
Alaysia Gude Alaysia Gude 5'9" | CG LaVega | 2025 State TX -5’8 G [2025]
Gude glided to the basket numerous times to score or dish yet she stretched the defenses with a couple of deep ones. Her “on the ball” defense” is always something that creates problems and this game was no different
Angela Carroll-6’2 F/C [2025]
Carroll played the best game I’ve seen her play against a really solid team and doing this on center stage spoke volumes, especially when you factor in her size and class, she will be a hot ticket over the club season. She barely missed a double-double. 11/9, yet 5 of her rebounds came on the offensive end
Kileyah Parr-5’5 G LaVega [2024]
Parr yo-yoed her way past defenders to help get her team here and watching her handle the ball, go by the defender, using either hand and setting teammates up, were all big yet so was her battling for rebounds against taller players, she grabbed 7 to go along with 9 points. Her pressure defense, either on the ball, or playing the passing lane forced turnovers, she had 3 steals and also led her team with 4 assists and was named MVP
Micah Russell-5’6 G Sunnyvale [2023]
Russell put her team on her back to get them here and she was solid throughout the game helping them stay in the game. Her slight HEZ is hard to handle and she knocked down a huge 3 on their last run late into the game to cut the lead to 2. She leaves her high school career on a great note as they got to the last game of the season and she was named to the All-Tournament team. Next stop, Quachita Baptist as the fit will be right
Ali McAda-5’10 Sunnyvale G/F [2025]
McAda had a double-double, 15/10, and went 8/8 from the line but she did a good job scoring “off the dribble” as well as “around the basket”. She also did a good job on the defensive end and showed good timing to block shots and was named to the All-Tournament team
Destiny Arinze Destiny Arinze 5'10" | PF Sunnyvale | 2026 State TX -5’10 F/C Sunnyvale [2026]
Arinze has some scary upside as she’s active around the basket, hits the boards, and grabbed 10 rebounds but also applied heat on the defensive end as she can step outside the paint and guard her man
