Caya showed a nice combination of shooting ability, ball-handling skills and defensive effort while competing with Team Liberty during the middle school session at the Headliners Invitational. During the Make Shots workout, her pull-up jumpers caught my attention, as she displayed a good-looking shot and a smooth shooting motion. She carried that shooting ability into 5v5 competition, knocking down an impressive deep three-pointer at the buzzer. Caya also demonstrated her ability to create off the dribble, using a nice crossover to get past her defender. Defensively, she showed quick hands and a willingness to work hard to make plays. One of my favorite moments came when she hustled back in transition, chased down an opposing player and stole the basketball from behind. She also came away with another steal that she took coast to coast, showing her ability to turn a defensive play into an offensive opportunity. Her shooting touch, defensive instincts and effort were all encouraging parts of her performance.

Caya, competing with Team Fever at the P2W Headliners Invitational Showcase, showed her ability to contribute as a guard with a solid, composed approach. She knocked down a mid-range jumper with confidence, demonstrating good balance and touch on her shot. After securing a defensive rebound, she looked to immediately push the tempo, showing awareness and willingness to advance the ball up the floor to create opportunities in transition. Her combination of scoring touch and ability to initiate the break added value to her team throughout the session.
