2027 Combo Guards Making Noise: SoCal Edition

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Southern California has the best guard play in the country for high school basketball! There are so many hidden gems in Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, etc. The athletes below have been dominant thus far as we reach the mid-way point of the 2025-2026 high school season. They excel in both guard spots and will do whatever it takes to give their team a chance night-in, night-out.</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":" Anniyah Huteson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_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":"Wilson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-6969c72f3a868"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The flag football standout has taken her game to another level on the hardwood. <strong>Anniyah</strong> exploded for 43 points earlier this year, including 7 threes. How does she get it done? <strong>Anniyah</strong> understands how to keep defenders on their toes. She has mastered the art of stop-and-starts to set up quick attacks to the basket off-the-bounce. <strong>Anniyah</strong> uses her IQ to her advantage on both ends. Has a nice mid-range pull-up. Spots up well on the perimeter. Scores efficiently from various spots on the floor. Cerebral guard who is hard to stay in front of. <strong>Anniyah's </strong>athleticism makes her a gamechanger on the perimeter defensively. The confidence and production continue to reach new heights. One of the top under-the-radar guards in all of Los Angeles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["767183"],"_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-6969b112a30d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The offers continue to roll in for one of the top versatile juniors in the country. <strong>Brieana's</strong> ability to score inside and out is impressive. Insanely quick 1st step for her size, allowing her to beat defenders off-the-dribble. Routinely finishes with either hand. Crashes the glass. Understands how to score in the post with her back-to-the-basket. Knockdown shooter. <strong>Brieana</strong> brings so much to the table offensively. She scores on all 3 levels consistently and efficiently. Her ability to do-it-all has been special over the years. <strong>Brieana</strong> plays well with other good players on her team because she can play off-the ball. This was on full display throughout the spring and summer. <strong>Brieana</strong> will be an immediate impact player at the next level.</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":"Lexi Holt","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_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":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Warner ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-6969acba2a473"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Lexi</strong> has been flat-out unstoppable in the new year: 55 points, 33 points, 46 points, 38 points! Warner High School went 4-0 during this stretch. 134 total points in a 3-day span is just unreal! <strong>Lexi</strong> is 5th in the state in scoring and seems to be getting into a rhythm that very few will be able to stop. She is an elite shot-maker. When she gets in her zone, there is nothing you can do. She scores in bunches and has the ability to be a one-woman wrecking crew. <strong>Lexi </strong>scored 28 of her team's 35 points (on just 14 shots) to defeat Horizon Prep (35-31) earlier this season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1221877"],"_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-691b7e922d3d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Aakash </strong>has been the catalyst for 13-4 Grossmont thus far. Stat-sheet stuffer who is currently leading her team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, FG%, and FT%! Her ability to slash and sliver through the lane stands out. <strong>Aakash</strong> finishes well through contact with a proven ability to routinely finish over bigger defenders. One notable performance vs. Otay Ranch: 22 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 10 steals! She will pick you up full-court from start-to-finish! <strong>Aakash</strong> excels in transition because of her craftiness and athleticism. She continues to show noticeable improvement in the playmaking department. <strong>Aakash </strong>has her fingerprints over every aspect of the game. Do-it-all guard with few weaknesses. Exceptional guard rebounder, defensive menace, prolific scorer, fierce competitor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255366"],"_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-6969acba2a349"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walking bucket who scores 30+ game-in, game-out. <strong>Shirina</strong> has been a model of consistency in her junior season. She is lethal off-the bounce because of her ability to make shots from all over while penetrating and getting into the paint at will. <strong>Shirina</strong> shows good body control and concentration to make tough finishes at the rim. She has the low, tight handle to split double teams and navigate through a zone defense. <strong>Shirina</strong> creates space with a deadly stepback to go along with effective crossovers and head fakes. She gets to her spots with ease and can get her shot off anytime she chooses. Expect her to put on a show for the 2nd half of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
