<p class="text-gray-700">Hailing from Washington, <strong>Aleya</strong> has made noise for the [program_tooltip program_id='713886' first='Cal' last='Stars'] all summer long, beginning with the Boo West Phoenix EYBL Session 1. One notable performance included 7 steals and 4 blocks in a head-to-head matchup with Cal Storm! <strong>Aleya</strong> is a sharpshooting 2-way lefty with so much potential as a legit combo guard. Very quick to the ball. Her long arms and youth indicate she is not done growing. She routinely makes the right play. Soft touch around the basket. As she continues to blossom against top-notch competition, <strong>Aleya</strong> will be more than ready heading into her freshman year.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Claire</strong> is a quick-twitch pure PG who does-it-all. Her skillset, IQ, and competitive nature erase any concerns regarding her undersized stature. With plenty of time to grow physically, mentally, and skillfully, <strong>Claire</strong> already brings plenty to the table. Nifty finisher inside. Knockdown shooter. Elite court vision. <strong>Claire's</strong> advanced shooting range and cat-like quickness make her a very tough cover in iso situations. She can break a game open with a plethora of 3s, jaw-dropping dimes, and relentless on-ball pressure.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Jadie</strong> is an absolute nightmare in transition! Elite body control and finishing ability. <strong>Jadie</strong> finishes well with either hand. Uses pump fakes and the triple threat to her advantage to beat defenders off-the-dribble. <strong>Jadie</strong> is one of the top slashers for the 2030 class throughout California. She is almost ungaurdable at times because you still have to respect her jumper. Good athleticism and stature at her position to only be a rising 8th grader...</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Shifty ball handler. Knockdown shooter. Scrappy defender. <strong>Kristen </strong>has all of the intangibles you are looking for in a lead guard. Her change of pace makes it difficult for defenders to stay in front. She is a clever playmaker and reads the defense to perfection. <strong>Kristen</strong> appears to be a natural leader as well. She plays with an edge and a will to win. <strong>Kristen</strong> is the type of point guard who makes everyone around her better. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Natural-born scorer who can already shoot comfortably off-the-dribble and the catch. Very high basketball IQ. <strong>Makena</strong> understands how to set her teammates up when the defense overplays her shotmaking ability. She is a tough finisher at the rim and finishes through contact. Defensively, <strong>Makena</strong> is a menace. She plays with intensity and anticipitation. Her all-around game is impressive given her youth. <strong>Makena</strong> will become a household name in Southern Cal for years to come.</p>
