PVI guard Madison Nicholson Madison Nicholson 5’5″ | CG Paul VI | 2026 State VA is a hard-nosed gritty basketball player. She can find ways to impact a game even if she’s not scoring. She plays hard and is a fantastic athlete, specifically her side-to-side quickness and overall speed. This quickness helps her be the terrific perimeter defender she is. She is good as a driver and shoots the ball well from 3.
Ja’La can take over a game offensively. She was outstanding as a freshman at Carlisle HS and is looking to build on that stellar year. She is a great ball handler but is extremely shifty. She is a good passer and knocks down open shots. Ja’La is an entertaining watch and someone to keep your eye on.
Justice Brown-Jones Justice Brown-Jones 6’1″ | CG Norfolk Christian | 2027 State VA not only played varsity basketball as an 8th grader last year, but she also contributed in a huge way. She was one of the best players in the conference and put together a special year. Justice has great length at 6’1″ and uses it well. Her rebounding is fantastic, and her length helps make her a plus defender, especially around the rim. She is also excellent around the rim on offense, with her soft touch and tremendous skill. Justice is a special player, for sure.
Jada Diggs
Jada Diggs
2026 guard Jada Diggs is one of the more underrated players in NOVA. She competes really hard and has her fingerprints all over the game. Jada rebounds exceptionally well at her size, and I’ve seen her have multiple double-digit rebound games. Her activity on defense allows her to get steals and get easy offense. She passes well and finishes nicely at the rim. Jada is a true competitor and a player any coach would love to have.
