Every coach in the mountain state should want this kid on their team! My favorite highlight was the triple-double when Dobbins recorded 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 blocks during her high school game! I don’t care who you are playing with a stat line like that, it’s impressive! Ava continues to put the work in during the offseason! Dobbins continues to be a great rim protector. She is one of the best shot blockers in the ’26 class. Actually, she is one of the best shot blockers, regardless of class. She continues to protect the paint area. Ava does a great job finishing around the rim, and stepping out to knock down open looks. Ava is a next level athlete, and I’m excited to see who lands this one!
