Fahy’s tape was some of my favorite to watch from this conference. She’s tenacious, swaggy, and can score a multitude of different ways. Averaging 12.8 PPG last season, Fahy earned special mention All-State recognition and I fully expect her to double down on her junior year campaign and showcase her full offensive skill-set this coming year.

Fahy has consistently made an offensive impact since she first stepped onto the court for her varsity program, and deep ball has always been a major part of her game. Much of that success comes from the fact that most defenders can’t stay in front of her when she decides to dribble and attack, so she has plenty of space to shoot. With another strong season, she could definitely find her way onto an All-State team before heading to Saint Xavier, where her talent should translate with ease.

The speed alone puts Fahy in a singular category by herself, and when you add the confidence, the aggression, and the high motor, you’re getting a player who can alone generate 20-30% of your offense. Around the rim, she has a lot of creativity, which helps with her size, but that doesn’t push her away from contact. As a playmaker, her IQ and vision are high, and the handles mixed in allow her to create something out of nothing while constantly putting pressure on the defense.

Fahy is a player who can get hot within 2-3 made shots, and if theyre falling, be ready to guard her the moment she touches the ball. She’s crafty on the handle, not bothered by contact, and has the speed to get by anyone and to keep up with anyone. A solid combo guard that can get you 10+ points with 5+ assists to go along with it.

Regardless of the stature, Fahy is nothing to take lightly. She’s aggressive, she’s competitive, and she has no fear at all. Whether in AAU or high school ball this summer, she has shown up and has shown out. Her skillset is predicated on her being the main ball handler and her speed, but she can play off-ball and be a secondary option if needed, and still be just as impactful. Catch and shooting, making the extra pass, being a decoy, whatever the task is, she is up for it.

If there were an all-event team for day 1, Fahy argues for being the first selected. The kid has so much talent regardless of her size, and absolutely has no fear whatsoever when taking it to the rim. From beyond the arc, she’s lighting out, and there’s not a shot that she’s not willing to take.

The amount of talented guards, let alone players, that come out of Maine South is a long list, and Hayden is in that group as well. She had multiple moments during our Extravaganza event that left scouts from other states stunned, and the couple of minutes I spent watching her team during that time left the same impression as well.

Hayden Fahy Hayden Fahy 5'6" | CG Maine South | 2027 State IL was the best overall player that I saw Saturday morning in action. Fahy might be a smaller guard but she is a handful. Offensively, she started things off by hitting a couple three pointers off the catch in the first half. In the second, she demonstrated that she is a complete PG. Someone that can score at the bucket in every way imaginable with either hand or she can create and hit others for a classy assist. Defensively, this is the type you ask to pick up in the full court for you and she will always have success. The athletic ability for her size is impressive and she sticks on her assignment at a high rate. This 16U Mac Irvin Fire team is loaded with college talent and Fahy is in that conversation. She put on a show Saturday morning and I can’t wait to see how she follows that up moving into Sunday.

Don’t give this young lady a second to get squared up, especially from the corner! Her muscle memory, particularly in shooting 3’s is dynamite! I like her speed and swift reactions when it comes to making decisions with the ball on transition.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Fahy has tapped into her aggression, and you’re starting to see the consistent confidence kick in. She has no fear when it comes to scoring the ball, and thats at the rim and behind the arc. Keep Chicago Hoops Express on your schedule this AAU season.
