The event was held from Apr. 21-23 and featured some of the top talent from both Northern and Southern California. I was able to attend the event on Sunday, Apr. 23 and here’s a look at some additional top standouts I saw.
1.
Natalie Villamor
Natalie
Villamor
5'8" | PG
Notre Dame SO | 2024
State
CA
– SO Notre Dame 2024
Villamor is a wing player who can handle the ball and is trusted to be a primary ball-handler in the halfcourt. She’s a good shooter from both the midrange and three-point range. Able to knock down catch and shoot threes. Squares up well with a quick release. Able to face up and shoot as well. A good playmaker in the halfcourt. Good rebounder and solid defensive player on ball as well.
2. Jaylee Moore – Caruthers 2027
Moore has good size and good fundamentals for being a young player. In the mold of a real center. She can establish good post position and seal her defender. Good hands catching passes. Capable of being an efficient scorer around the basket. She can run the floor well in transition and is a finisher at the rim. A lot of high upside.

Cyriah Coleman

Coleman
5'7" | CG
Bishop Montgomery | 2024
State
CA
– Bishop Montgomery 2024
Coleman is a bit of a combo guard. A scorer who can handle the ball and also able to create her own shot consistently in the halfcourt. She has a nice crossover and can shoot well off the dribble. Able to hit the floater in the lane. Uses pass fakes to get the defense off balance and get downhill. Shoots the pull-up jumper in transition. Slender player but is active on the glass.
4.
Karsen Marshall

Marshall
5'10" | PF
Corona Centennial | 2024
State
CA
– Corona Centennial 2024
I’ve seen Marshall play before and what stood out to me this time was an improved off the dribble game. She looked more comfortable putting the ball on the floor and getting to the basket. She was handling the ball on the break off her own rebounds and making good decisions. Good on ball defense with a low stance. She crashes the glass very well, sneaks in and finds the angles to grab boards.
