Mahik is from Minnesota, of course, where she has earned a Top 50 ranking in the Class of 2028. She plays her AAU basketball in Sioux Falls though so we thought it made sense to include her in this collection of solid prospects from Sanford Sports. Mahik plays the game at one speed – full throttle – and that relentless energy shows up on every possession. She constantly pressures defenses, pushing the pace in transition, attacking gaps, and creating chaos with her activity level. Amyra is a disruptive defender, using quick hands and instincts to generate steals and turn defense into offense. She competes fearlessly and finds ways to impact the game regardless of the circumstances. Offensively, Mahik is crafty and smart, making plays both with and without the ball. She works as hard as anyone on the floor, and her motor alone is worth the price of admission.

Mahik was a ball of relentless energy, constantly putting pressure on the defense throughout the showcase. She pushed the ball in transition, hustled to secure loose balls, and slipped through tight gaps to capitalize on defensive lapses – always keeping the game at a fast pace. On the defensive end, her activity was just as impactful, disrupting plays and creating extra opportunities for her team. Simply put, positive things seemed to happen every time she was on the floor.

When prospects attend a college elite camp, their goal is usually to catch the attention of the coaching staff. Amyra certainly did that at the D2 Augustana camp in Sioux Falls. When Mahik returned for an unofficial visit not long after, she received her first college offer. That’s remarkable for a small 9th grader, but it speaks to Mahik’s immense potential. She is a very skillful point guard who turns defense into offense in a flash with consistent hustle and remarkable intensity. On offense, she executes with calm and precision, using her high basketball IQ to operate with poise beyond her years. Amyra averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists as a varsity 8th grader, numbers that are likely to outpace inflation in the years ahead.
