With Division-I talent Addison Baxter graduating in 2025, along with some other key pieces, there were a lot of questions as to who would step up for the Lady Eagles. Well, Isabella came in and performed admirably. She is lesser-known on the statewide level, but her Winter opponents certainly know who she is now. She is a solid athlete, she has nice length and some strength, plus she is skillful. She can play on the ball and run point, or she can play off the ball and knock down shots consistently from all three levels. Look for her recruiting to make a jump soon, too.

Isabella was productive in every statistical category for Lady Team Focus 16U, setting the standard for determination, and her all-out effort resulted in a 16U Silver Championship Game MVP selection. Isabella worked hard to move her feet and keep the ball contained on the perimeter. She racked up several steals and deflections, making her defense a deciding factor in the outcome. Isabella attacked off the dribble and dished out multiple split-second wrap-around assists in traffic. Isabella swiped the ball away at half court, muscled her way into position for offensive rebounds, closed out hard to block shots on the perimeter, patiently surveyed the scene until the right opportunity came along on the offensive end, and scored a sweet catch and finish with her left hand in transition. Lady Focus 16U won the Silver Championship, and Isabella’s complete performance played a major role.

This team is all over the place on the court, and this young lady is one of the main culprits on defense. They came out and put a lot of pressure on their opponents and caused a lot of early turnovers. She was right in the middle of the chaos. Reads and reacts well. She is also dangerous with the ball, able to contribute at both ends of the floor.
