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.

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.

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.

Shes a tone setter and makes great on court adjustments. Just another hidden gem in a talented Sunnyside roster.

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.
