Amalia made the biggest rise into the top 5 with this round of rankings updates. Amalia is a super tough all state lead guard that keeps the ball on a string, and gets buckets in a number of ways. Not afraid to drive through contact, has super crafty feet and attacks angles well. Knockdown shooter from behind the arc + utilizes a super efficient step-back to create space. Clutch player coming off a HUGE junior season securing multiple Div. 1 offers. Offensively one of the most fun players to watch in the class of 2026.

Amalia is a walking bucket who is super hard to keep in front with her tight handle and ability to change speeds. 3 level scorer that can hit you with a step 3 or fight through contact at the rim. Super composed when pressured, very hard to speed up in the full or half court. Late in the fourth she stepped up in a HUGE way to carry Sage hill; scoring 7 straight including a nasty step back 3 to put the game pretty much out of reach.

Amalia does it all for sage hill, flying around the floor leading them in Points, Assist and Steals. She is a high IQ guard with vision that will take advantage of a mismatch in the post, and use her body to create space and get to a short pull up. If given space or left open she will make you pay from 3. Takes 0 plays off and showed a very high motor in the press and half court. Will be an immediate impact player at the next level!

Watching Amalia throughout the season and playoffs has been a joy. She embodies confidence and poise while fostering strong connections on and off the court. She is the last player that Kobe Bryant ever coached to reach high school and she is honoring his legacy with her performance every single time she steps on the court. She is a vocal leader and excels in communication ensuring everyone is on the same page. Her perseverance is evident as she hustles tirelessly supporting her team in every aspect of the game. Defensively she shines; often guarding the oppositions best player and is she is super quick at forcing turnovers. With a confident swagger she moves the ball around the court dodging defenders and taking her shot. She effortlessly sinks three-pointers as well as shots in the key and she usually dominates with the most points for her team. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for her.
