Way Too Early Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In eight weeks, give or take a few days, the 2023-24 Season will begin for Girls High School Basketball. On November 20th, programs are permitted to hold their first official practice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With anticipation beginning to start, here are a few predictions, from an individual standpoint, for next season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">PREDICTION: [player_tooltip player_id='391104' first='Hope' last='Giddings'] will eclipse the 1,000 point mark </h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A multilevel scorer who gets the job done from the low block and 3point Line. Giddings, who is now a Junior at Sandia, has 749 Career Points in 58 GP, averaging 12.8 PPG on 37% from the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">PREDICTION: [player_tooltip player_id='391103' first='Sydney' last='Benally'] will total 100+ assists for the 3rd straight season</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>The Matadors have one of the best offensive attacks, thanks to Benally being the floor general. A terrific passer that consistently sets up teammates for open looks. Benally recorded 105 Assists as a Freshman (21-22) &amp; 101 Assists as a Sophomore (22-23). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">PREDICTION: [player_tooltip player_id='357657' first='Taejhuan' last='Hill'] will record 1,000 career rebounds</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Totaling 800 seems likely but with the lack of experience &amp; depth in the front court from opposing clubs, presents “TT”, with an opportunity to perhaps secure the needed 300+ rebounds - 624 career rebounds thus far for the now Senior from Volcano Vista. <br>300 rebounds as a Junior (22-23) | 236 rebounds as a Sophomore (21-22) | 88 rebounds as a Freshman (20-21)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">PREDICTION: [player_tooltip player_id='357652' first='Azalia' last='Malizia'] will reach 1,000 career points</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>A clear No.1 option as the now Senior leader and playmaking shot creator, Malizia is a quick PG that can put the ball on the floor and score. In 91 GP, Malizia has 743 career points, averaging 8.2 PPG on 30% from the field, for the Valencia Jaguars. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">PREDICTION: There will be 7 or more players to make 60+ 3Pointers this season</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Connecting from behind the arc is a vital part for a majority of teams who like to play with smaller lineups, due to the possibility of being out-rebounded. The counter to that, the ability to have more space and play at a faster pace. With that being said, these players are amongst the best at hitting the 3ball and are all slated to hit some big time shots for their respective teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Player (Class Year)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">3PM</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='370329' first='Bella' last='Hines'] (2025)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">70</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='642718' first='Virances' last='Martinez'] (2025)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">66</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='467054' first='Aleena' last='Rodriguez'] (2025)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">59</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='357652' first='Azalia' last='Malizia'] (2024)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">55</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='391106' first='Tana' last='Lopez'] (2025)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">53</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='560961' first='Janessa' last='Gallegos'] (2024)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">52</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">[player_tooltip player_id='391103' first='Sydney' last='Benally'] (2025)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">51</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">3PM in 2022-23.</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:table -->
