Early-Season Takeaways: Dominant 2028 Scorers on the Perimeter

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These sophomore guards know how to put the ball in the basket. Their explosiveness offensively has been on full display to begin the 2025-2026 season. The ladies below have showcased incredible shooting, shot-making, and all-around consistency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225141"],"_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-6939d080b87e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Lorelei</strong> has been prolific offensively to say the least. Three 30+ pt performances already on the year, including a 41 point explosion vs. Atwater High School. Her squad needed every bucket in the close 77-72 victory. <strong>Lorelei</strong> can get hot in a hurry from long-range. Sharpshooter off-the-catch with a lethal pull-up in transition. The stroke is pure: gets her feet set, quick release, and a nice follow-through. Elite stepback in her arsenal. Can and will pull from the volleyball line! Combine that with her quickness and ball handling ability... absolute nightmare for opposing defenders. <strong>Lorelei </strong>is more than a scorer. Tough-nose defender and a great facilitator as well (9 assists last game). One of the top hidden gems in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262278"],"_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-6939d080b8898"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Corona is 9-0 on the year, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1262278' first='Alex' last='Flores']</strong> has a lot to do with that. Elite spot-up shooter who has gone for 30+ twice on the year. <strong>Alex</strong> has deep range and plays with confidence on both ends. Despite her ability to take a game over as a scorer, she is far from one-dimensional. Gifted playmaker who rebounds well for her size. Gritty defender who generates deflections and already has 11 blocks on the year! The sky is the limit for one of the top guards in the sophomore class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262210"],"_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-6939dcca76aeb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Terrazia</strong> is a silky smooth wing who can put the ball on the floor with the best of the best. Knockdown shooter and a nifty finisher around the rim. <strong>Terrazia </strong>plays with great pace. Very crafty with the ball in her hands. Fierce competitor who gives you plenty on both ends. Tenacious defender who plays with a chip on her shoulder. <strong>Terrazia</strong> has a quick 1st step and keeps the defender on her hip. After 11ppg as a freshman, she has doubled that amount as a sophomore thus far. Efficient, efforltess scorer with an emerging all-around game. Expect her offer sheet (Cal Poly) to grow tremendously in the near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1118644"],"_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-6939102b7b36f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Naomi</strong> gives her team irreplaceable firepower offensively... the definition of a walking bucket. She has been the catalyst for Silver Valley on both ends. <strong>Naomi </strong>is only a sophomore and is already Silver Valley's all-time scoring leader! Very shifty with the ball in her hands. Elite slasher AND shooter! Has a plethora of crossovers, hesis, and stepbacks that keep defenders off-balance. High-IQ guard who plays with toughness. Willing and gifted passer who takes what the defense gives her. <strong>Naomi</strong> is a 3-level scorer, so it is hard to guard her a certain way.. she has a counter for everything! 46 point performance earlier this year. Has the ability to be a one-woman wrecking crew, but far from selfish. Will do whatever it takes to win. Expect <strong>Naomi</strong> to break a few more records and drop 30+ night-in, night-out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257245"],"_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-691b2dc358156"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kiera</strong> was a CIF All-State 1st-team selection as a freshman for a reason. The sharpshooter is lethal in catch-and-shoot situations and moves very well without the ball. Beautiful stroke.. when she gets hot, there is nothing you can do to stop her from long-range. <strong>Kiera</strong> went 7/14 from distance earlier this year. Showcases her IQ defensively with a long wingspan to jump passing lanes. Would love to see her be more aggressive off-the dribble. Elite 3&amp;D capabilities with perhaps even more in her bag than she has shown. <strong>Kiera</strong> makes quick moves and routinely makes the right play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
