Cesar Chavez
The junior forward is a bundle of energy who knocked down some very timely jump shots for Chavez. Her mid-range game is hard to defend because she gets her shot off so quickly. If you get too close to her, she will quickly go by you.
Nayeli Nidez-Acuna Nayeli Nidez-Acuna 5'11" | SF Sunnyside | 2024 State AZ Sunnyside
The senior performed as advertised. She is one of the premier seniors in SoAZ. She displayed her all-around game from rebounding, to ball handling to defense. She finished with a rare 20 + point, 20 + rebound game. She did all that she could to keep her team within striking distance.
Sophia Doromal Sophia Doromal 5'4" | PG Cesar Chavez | 2025 State AZ Cesar Chavez
The leader for the Champions goes about her business, and she did just that in this matchup. She showed her normal solid handle and shot it from the perimeter very well. She hit some clutch outside shots to seal the victory for Chavez.
Dora Medina Dora Medina 5'6" | PG Sunnyside | 2027 State AZ Sunnyside
The freshman played very well for the Blue Devils. She played with composure and shot the ball well. She rebounded the ball very well for her position and showed a good nose for the ball on the offensive glass. She’s one of the better freshmen in SoAZ.
