I watched some of the top teams on Saturday and here were some of the standouts on the day.
Here were some of the 2025-27 Standouts:
Taliyah Henderson Taliyah Henderson 6'1" | SF Salpointe Catholic | 2025 State AZ Salpointe Catholic (AZ Supreme 17)
A physically gifted wing has a sturdy frame and long arms. She is a very good defender and extremely versatile. She can rip thru and score thru heavy contact and can hit the catch three. A tough lefty loves getting downhill and is very athletic and has a nice drop step move to utilize. She gets a lot of her points on put backs and is one of the top players in the class.
Sidney Anderson Sidney Anderson 5'10" | CG Salpointe Catholic | 2025 State AZ Ironwood Ridge (AZ Elite Black 17) (Pictured)
Anderson has a pure stroke. She is arguably the top shooter in her class. She can make shots on the move and is showing more awareness to make plays. She made one full court pass that was eye popping. She is a better rebounder than I thought and will also give hard ball fakes and burst by to the basket.
Heather Stedman Heather Stedman 5'10" | CG Pinnacle | 2025 State AZ Pinnacle (AZ Elite Black 17)
An all-around combo guard is an unselfish player and a good passer. She will rebound and try and take it coast to coast. She can pull-up off the dribble from mid to the three and has a good open court speed. She has deep three point range and is tough on the ball defensively.
Hannah Williams Hannah Williams 6'1" | PF Salpointe Catholic | 2025 State AZ Salpointe Catholic (AZ Supreme 17)
A versatile and tough face-up power forward. She can score inside the post players then shoot it from the three. She rebounds inside at a good clip and is a cerebral player. She can handle the ball when needed and plays hard on each possession. Henderson and Williams form one of the best ’25 duos in the AIA.
Jacqueline Rosado Jacqueline Rosado 5'8" | SF Casteel | 2025 State AZ Casteel (AZ Elite Black 17)
A jack of all trades wing defends, facilities and scores. She plays with a huge IQ. she gets the ball out of her hands quickly to move the ball and will score on offensive rebound put backs and transition points. She uses her length and strength to fight inside and plays the right way.
Sophia Yancy Sophia Yancy 6'4" | C Desert Vista | 2025 State AZ Desert Vista (AZ Supreme 17)
A strong true post player with great hands and good feet. She has long arms and makes it very hard to score on in the painted area with her strength and positioning. She should play more quality minutes this upcoming season on varsity.
Callie Hinder Callie Hinder 6'6" | C Hamilton | 2026 State AZ Corona del Sol (AZ Fire 17)
One of the tallest players in the state also happens to be the best shot blocker in the class. She is on her way to becoming an elite shot blocker and rebounds everything in her area. She shows impeccable timing on her blocks. She keeps the ball high and goes up quickly to score on layups, put backs with either hand and has a nice free throw stroke.
JaiDen Rhodes JaiDen Rhodes 5'4" | PG AZ Compass Prep | 2027 AZ AZ Compass Prep (AZ Supreme 17)
A jet quick pure point guard with speed and skill. She is great off of the pick and roll game, she handles all the heavy ball pressure and will knock down the deep three off the catch. She plays bigger then her height suggests and shows a competitive side heading into high school.
