<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>In this article:</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>California's Class of 2026 is loaded with talent, including many who happen to be undersized. They deserve notoriety and will take their legacies to new heights this upcoming season. Featured below are prolific scorers, with ample production in other areas as well. 2026 is an extremely deep class, and these ladies have a lot to do with that!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jazmaine Stewart","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Farmersville","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fd462b1b722"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Jazmaine</strong> has been nothing short of outstanding in her high school career thus far. A multi-sport standout (basketball and volleyball), she is becoming the face of Farmersville athletics. Basketball finished 27-3 her freshman season after a 15-win season prior to her arrival. <strong>Jazmaine</strong> averaged a team-best 21.3 PPG, following that up with 23.4 PPG in her sophomore campaign. She averaged almost 7 steals last year, led the team in blocked shots, and finished second in rebounding! Her athleticism and basketball IQ allows for versatile impact despite being "undersized". Recruiters and fans should expect a huge year from <strong>Jazmaine</strong> this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["843641"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fd462b1b77c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Sophia</strong> checks all the boxes as an elite combo guard. In a very competitive Southern California region, she averaged 19 PPG and was consistent throughout her sophomore year. <strong>Sophia</strong> finishes well with contact and can create off the dribble for herself and others. Exceptional shot creation and the ability to draw fouls makes her hard to guard 1v1. <strong>Sophia </strong>is more than a scorer and contributes to winning in various ways. She led her team in rebounding with over 10 a game, also leading in steals. <strong>Sophia </strong>was ranked as a sophomore for a reason, so expect her to rise up the ranks even more following her junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["644218"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fd462b1b7d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perhaps one of the most gifted scorers in California and beyond, <strong>Rylee</strong> has produced since the onset of her high school career. She is very tough to stay in front of and has a knack for making tough shots. <strong>Rylee</strong> has carried the Marina squad, in a sense, despite her youth. Double and triple-teams from opposing defenses will not stop her confidence and impact whatsoever. As she matures, her feel for the game will translate to the next level immediately. <strong>Rylee's</strong> high ranking is no fluke. One notable performance came in the last game of her sophomore season, with 33 points on just 19 shots against a competitive playoff team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["843635"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fd462b1b811"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Malissa</strong> is a blur in transition and attacks the basket at will. Another great rebounder despite her size, she has a knack for being around the ball. She is aggressive on both ends and plays much bigger than her listed height. <strong>Malissa</strong> is lethal going downhill, but also displays an effective mid-range arsenal. A 38 and 40 point performance as a sophomore is not surprising given her reputation. Expect <strong>Malissa</strong> to put up big numbers this season and turn even more heads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Breahn Flood","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Inderkum","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fd462b1b88b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shooter is the first thing that comes to mind when evaluating <strong>Breahn</strong>. She is at her best spotting up off-the-ball, but can run an offense as well. When <strong>Breahn</strong> gets her feet set, she is deadly beyond the arc and can change the course of a game. Exceptional footwork, a quick release, and great balance led to 100 three-pointers at a 40% clip last year! She picks her spots well and rarely forces bad shots. <strong>Breahn </strong>also has the athleticism and strength to guard bigger players. She plays in a competitive region and certainly has the tools to excel at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1252593' first='Yazmin' last='Aguilera']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Clovis","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fd462b1b901"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Similar to <strong>Breahn</strong>, <strong>Yazmin </strong>is a 3pt specialist who can catch fire in a hurry. She is comfortable off-the-dribble and off-the-catch. She also made 100 three pointers last year. <strong>Yazmin</strong> has incredible range and plays well within the offense. She has played against some of the best comp Cali has to offer. <strong>Yazmin</strong> is the definition of a pure shooter. She is extremely underrated and will build upon an eye-opening sophomore season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["574425"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6701cd550cf19"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Sadie</strong> is part of the 1-2 punch with <strong>Yazmin</strong> at Clovis High. <strong>Sadie</strong> is more of an overall scorer and pure point guard. With multiple Division 1 offers already, she will cement herself as a household name in the Class of 2026. <strong>Sadie</strong> sees the floor extremely well and can score at all three levels. She has great mechanics and fundamentals overall. Averaging 19 PPG as a sophomore against Clovis's competition is very impressive. <strong>Sadie's</strong> all-around game and competitive nature is flat out special.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ebony Taylor-Smith","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Rancho Christian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fd462b1b975"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ebony is another elite shooter in this prolific, high scoring class. She finished 3rd in total three pointers (104 3PM) out of all sophomores in the state of California. She played her role to perfection, leading to a 1st place finish for Rancho Christian in their competitive conference. She finishes well with both hands at the basket. She can truly play both guard positions and deserves more recognition for her talent going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
