Expert Analysis
Akiem Bailum | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Almeida is a dual-sport athlete who has played volleyball in addition to what she does on Cathedral Academy’s basketball hardwood. As is the case with her teammate Pouyat, Almeida has also participated in grassroots basketball with Coastal Select. Almeida reached the 1,000-point plateau last season. She is a potent scorer, but also has a knack for getting her teammates involved in the flow of a game. As she is a talent that can play either of the guard positions, Almeida is a backcourt anchor for a Generals team that will be one to beat as the team ascends from 1A to 2A.
