Medina continues to elevate her stock as one of the top two way guards in Southern Arizona. A tough and physical player. Great finisher through contact. Drives through the paint and makes great passes through traffic. Fearless, will take multiple charges a game and dive for the loose ball. She has developed a great all around game and will is a player Coaches will want to take a look at. Coaches can catch her this off-season with the Tucson Swarm 17U squad and at Section 7 in June with the Sunnyside Blue Devils.

Medina showed this past high school season she is one of the top two way guards in the state. She has great defensive skill and a strong ability to lead the offense. A very physical player who gets the job done. I’ve seen a lot of her game play on the court this season and shes impressive every time. To see her leadership and high level of play in a practice setting was great. She held her team accountable, was the example for how the drills needed to be done and led in all areas. Medina is a high impact player who will play at the next level. She will start getting attention this off-season going into her senior year.

Medina has been one of my favorite guards to watch play this season. She does everything on both sides of the ball you’d want from your lead guard. She is very vocal, a terrific defender, handles the ball well and has elite vision. Medina can get to the paint and scores effectively through contact. Medina finished as the Defensive Player of the Year in the 6A South region. She averaged 9.3 points, 5.6 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 4 steals per game while leading the Blue Devils to another 6A South Region Championship and 6A State quarterfinal finish where they lost to the eventual state champions by 1 point. I expect a strong off season that should see Medinas recruitment start to gain some traction.

Im always impressed when watching Medina play. She sees the game at an elite level on both sides of the ball. A true point guard who controls the pace of the game. A skilled dribbler who allows the play to develop and executes quickly and effectively if she spots a weakness in the defense. Hustles in transition and came up with some huge blocks for the Sunnyside Blue Devils. I expect Medina to be a highly sought after guard in the 2027 class from Southern Arizona.

No question Medina is on of the top two way guards in the state. She has one of the best defensive and just overall IQs I’ve seen this season. Making high level reads and executing on them. Shes put up 11.3 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 4.2 steals per game. She is on of the most consistent players on her production every game. Very tough. Will drive the lane and score through tough contact, get up shake it off then knock down the free throw and the get a steal the very next play. Nothing seems to phase her. Shes a tone setter and makes great on court adjustments. Just another hidden gem in a talented Sunnyside roster.

Medina leads a very deep Sunnyside team. Communicates well with her team. Handles the ball well. Strong in transition as well as in traffic. Pass first getting her team involved but can score at a high level. Does great in the pick and roll getting the ball to its target. Medina rebounds very well. Forced many turnovers on the defensive end. One of the top two way guards in her class.

A tough do it all player. One of the better two way guards in her class. Medina is quick and effective in transition. A quick and impactful decision maker. Finds the shooter in the corner but confident and skilled to take the line and score through contact. High percentage shooter from the perimeter. Relentless on ball defender.

Medina is a tough lead guard who likes to punish defenders with her body. She is very good at using her body to get by defenders and create for herself and her teammates. Dora has very good court vision and is always looking for open teammates.

Medina is a competitor. She sets the tone for the Blue Devils both on the court and on the bench. Dora is relentless on the defensive side putting constant pressure on the opposition. Showed she can guard the full length of the court for long periods of time. Extremely strong motor. Fearless. Did not matter who or how big the opponent was Medina took the ball to the paint and found ways to score. In their game against Mesa despite the height and talent of the Jackrabbits forward Medina couldn’t be denied. Was able to finish tough contested shots with either hand and showed the ability to knock down the three ball.
