Alysya earns her spot on the Honorable Mention team as a defensive powerhouse who provided high-energy minutes when the Hornets needed them most. In the semifinal victory over Booker, she dominated on the glass and in the passing lanes, leading the team with nine rebounds and a game-high six steals. She carried that momentum into the state final against Bishop Kenny as their offensive spark plug. Smith showcased her offensive efficiency, shooting a perfect 4-of-5 from the field and 2-of-3 from three-point range. Her 11 points in the final were second on the team, proving she could impact the game at a high level on both ends of the floor against some of the state’s toughest competition.
