I watched her play for LBA attack at the chick-fil-invitational, and I thought she was excellent all around. She competes on both ends and is a really smart basketball player. She is a decent shooter and is good at getting other people involved. She handles the ball well and is less affected by pressure than other young guards.
Highlights

The Chantilly Chargers finished with a 6-17 record this past season, but they’re a much better team than that record shows. They played in a difficult district and played many competitive games against fantastic teams like Robinson and James Madison. Freshman guard Alivia Tarry Alivia Tarry 5’7″ | PG Chantilly | 2026 State VA did a tremendous job all year on both ends. She is a good shooter, can run an offense, and is an impactful defender. She finished second team all-Concorde, and she and Chantilly are sleepers to watch next year.

Oakton is an outstanding defensive team, and undoubtedly, their best perimeter defender was freshman guard Sophie Toole Sophie Toole 5’6″ | CG Oakton | 2026 State VA . She is a tremendous 1v1 defender and usually takes on the opposing team’s best player. She is good at getting to the rim and was a solid offensive player to go along with her defense.
Lilia Mellor
Lilia Mellor
Lilia Mellor does not look like a freshman when you watch her play. She is a plus defender and ran a good West Springfield squad. Without a doubt, Lilia’s best skill is her passing ability. She is great at finding cutters, and when she drives to the rim, she always makes the right pass, whether it’s to someone under the rim or a shooter. She plays for GTS Fusion, so more people must watch her play this AAU season.
Madison Coutinho
Madison Coutinho
It’s no secret Robinson is one of the best teams in NOVA. They have a lot of talent, but their success comes from always seeming to play hard. Freshman guard Madison Coutinho is the best example of that. She is a hard-nosed basketball player despite her lack of size. She is surprisingly fantastic on the glass and a feisty defender. She can knock down open 3s and handles the ball well.
Emma Komaily
Emma Komaily
Emma Komaily was first-team all-patriot district; if you watch her play, you’ll see why. She has a nice-looking jump shot, which is where she does a lot of her damage offensively. What impressed me the most about Emma was her defense. It’s not necessarily the fact that she will lock down a player 1v1 but more her anticipation and overall ability to get steals.
