Azzy Hammons Azzy Hammons 5’7″ | CG JI Burton | 2025 State VA was solid in the day’s first two games against SVM Select and FBC Havoc 24. But she had her best game by far in the final game against Team Loaded. Virginia Outlaws were down big for the first 25 minutes of the game, but the game turned when Azzy started to catch fire from 3. Azzy is a phenomenal shooter and scorer, and an underrated passer.
Highlights
Dee Dee Giggetts
Dee Dee Giggetts
From an ability and playstyle standpoint, Dee Dee Giggetts is one of my favorite players. She handles the ball so well as a forward and loves to get to the rim using her strength and ball handling. Dee Dee struggled to finish for a lot of the day, but she still stood out to me for her rebounding toughness and skill.
If I had to pick an MVP for the day, it would be Alyssa Ervin Alyssa Ervin 5’10” | SG Carroll County HS | 2024 State VA . Coming into the day, I knew she was a phenomenal basketball player, and it was on full display the whole day. She thoroughly dominated the game on both ends in their second game against FBC Havoc 24. Alyssa defends hard and has a tremendous motor. She is a high-level athlete, so it helps her get to the rim and finish at difficult angles. She shot the ball from 3 well all day and showed why she’s one of the best players in Virginia.
There were a couple of names on FBC Havoc 16u that I was interested in watching, and Sanaa Moore Sanaa Moore 5’6″ | SG Henrico | 2025 State VA was one of them. She shot the ball from 3 well all day and made a lot of timely shots. She hit four 3s in their first game against Lady Attack and had a great day scoring overall.
Highlights
VaNyah Otey VaNyah Otey 5’10” | CG TPLS Christian Academy | 2026 State VA was the player I was the most interested in seeing coming into the day. VaNyah didn’t have the greatest day finishing around the rim, but her ability to handle the ball that well at around 6’0 is huge. She is also a phenomenal spot-up shooter and made a bunch on the day. She rebounded well, too, and was one of the better players on the day.
Highlights
Miriam Wade did an excellent job at defending the paint all day. She is a pretty disciplined defender and uses her length excellently. She does an excellent job walling up and going straight up, altering or blocking players’ shots. She was one of the better post defenders on the day, and when the game slows down for her offensively, she’ll be very serviceable on that end on the glass with her length and around the rim.
