<p>The <strong>2026</strong> class in <strong>Arizona</strong> has quietly produced some of the best floor generals in the state—guards who control tempo, make smart reads, and know how to lead a team. These are players who understand that being a true point guard is more than just scoring — it's about orchestrating, communicating, and setting the tone on both ends of the floor. Here's a breakdown of some of <strong>Arizona's </strong>top <strong>2026</strong> floor generals to keep an eye on this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Before her injury, Riley had already established herself as one of the better distributing point guards in the state. She's got that rare blend of vision and patience — she doesn't over-dribble, doesn't force the issue, and knows how to get her teammates involved. Her decision-making separates her, and once she returns to full health, expect her to pick up right where she left off as one of the most reliable point guards in Arizona.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The new addition to McClintock brings a veteran presence and confidence that instantly elevates her team. Ashley combines poise with the ability to hit shots when needed. Her calm under pressure and shot-making from mid-range and beyond give the Chargers a steadying influence at the guard spot. She's the type of player who can settle a team down when the game gets chaotic.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jailyn plays the point guard position the way it's meant to be played — unselfish, composed, and competitive. A battle-tested guard with a pass-first mentality, she takes pride in setting up teammates and defending at a high level. She's a true leader on both ends, always looking to make the right play rather than the flashy one. Her defensive tenacity and discipline make her an anchor for Compass Prep's backcourt.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Carranza is the definition of steady. She's not going to wow you with flash, but she wins basketball games with her composure and consistency. Her experience is evident in the way she reads the floor, controls the tempo, and keeps her team locked in. She's a winner through and through — the type of player every coach trusts in late-game situations.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">“Jet quick” is the best way to describe Mallory. She's electric with the ball in her hands and looks to push the pace every chance she gets. After leading Kellis to a strong run last season, she's back with unfinished business. Her ability to break down defenses, get to the rim, and ignite her team's offense makes her one of the most dynamic lead guards in the 2026 class.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Shirley is the heart and soul of the Wolves. Her leadership and energy fuel everything Chandler does. She's vocal, tough, and plays with purpose. Offensively, she's a capable shot-maker who will punish defenders if left open. More importantly, she sets the tone defensively and keeps her team composed in key moments — exactly what you want from your floor general.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kearns is that glue-type leader every team needs. She brings toughness, communication, and effort on every possession. Her passing IQ and defensive instincts make her invaluable — she consistently puts teammates in positions to succeed. Kearns' impact can't always be measured by stats, but her presence elevates Higley's play on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Yanes is as well-rounded as they come. She can shoot it from deep, thread the needle with her passing, and defend the perimeter at a high level. Her on-ball defense stands out — she makes opposing guards uncomfortable and disrupts their rhythm. With her versatility and competitive mindset, she's a true two-way guard who makes her team better in every category.</p>
