Isabella steps into round one with what could be a favorable matchup at the point guard spot. She’s shifty enough that defenders struggle to stay in front of her allowing her to create space on the perimeter or get downhill for paint touches. If she consistently forces help defense, it will open up clean looks for her teammates around the rim.

Isabella is a walking heat check. She has the ability to get hot and put points on the board at any moment. Whether it’s a jumper, a three off the catch, or a floater in the lane, she has the skill to score from every spot on the floor. But what makes her even more dangerous is her feel for the game she isn’t just a scorer. Isabella can pick apart defenses with good passing, delivering on-time and on-target assists to teammates in scoring positions. That balance of scoring and playmaking makes her one of the best guards in this class.

Isabella “Bella” might be just a freshman, but her scoring power has been key for Horizon getting to the first round of the playoffs this season. Averaging over 10 points per game, Alvarado is a threat all over the offensive end. She is strong with the ball in her hands and also has great movement without the ball, she can create scoring opportunities for herself in so many ways. Alvarado’s shooting is crucial for the Hawks gameplan, she is consistent from both 2pt and 3pt range. Defensively, Bella will match up with some of the state’s best guards, but she shows no fear on the defensive end. She is quick and defends guards well to force turnovers. Combined with her helpside efforts on bigger post players, Alvarado gets it done on D. The Hawks will need everything this freshman has for their first round battle.
