Cunningham is looking ahead to this weekend in Las Vegas when Her Elite 17U EYBL will take part in the Tournament of Champions for the first live period of the month. She recently secured an offer from Memphis. The rising senior star at 4A South Pointe led her team to another trip in the Upper State championship game. Cunningham averaged 20.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game. She was one of four juniors on last season’s Stallions team. Howard, Alabama, George Washington, Kennesaw State, Wake Forest and Penn have also offered Cunningham since the conclusion of the high school season. 

Another Division I offer has found its way to Cunningham as the Her Elite and 4A South Pointe star has fielded one from Ivy League school Penn. She adds this offer to others she received from Wake Forest, Kennesaw State, George Washington and Alabama since the high school season concluded. What a banner season it was for Cunningham as she not only guided the Stallions to another 4A Upper State championship but became South Pointe’s all-time leading scorer – for either the girls or boys’ programs. Cunningham averaged a double-double of 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds plus 2.7 steals per contest in 2025-26. 

Cunningham is continuing to field Division I offers and one can guess that will continue to be the case until she decides where she will play collegiately. Her latest offer was courtesy of Wake Forest. One can see why Megan Gebbia is interested in having Cunningham sport black and gold Demon Deacons threads. Cunningham played in 29 games this past season for a South Pointe team that reached another 4A Upper State championship. She also averaged a double-double of 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds and is the Stallions’ all-time leading points scorer for either girls or boys basketball. Cunningham, running with Her Elite, spent last month’s live period at Nike Session 2 in New Orleans and made an appearance on the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit at last month’s Peach Games. 

Whenever Cunningham makes her commitment decision, it will be among the most anticipated of any Palmetto State prospect. This past week, Cunningham was offered by George Washington and Kennesaw State. She has spent her 2026 travel season running with Her Elite. Cunningham is in her final travel season and will begin her final season at the high school level with 4A South Pointe once we arrive in November. In the 29 contests that she played in last season, Cunningham averaged a double-double of 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds plus 2.7 steals as the Stallions appeared in last season’s 4A Upper State championship game. 

We at Prep Girls Hoops got a glimpse of Cunningham recently at the Circuit’s Peach Games event in metro-Atlanta. Cunningham’s Her Elite 17U EYBL team went 3-1 that weekend. Her recruiting fortunes have taken an uptick this past month. She landed an offer from Alabama as well as one from Howard. Cunningham has solidified herself as one of the premier frontcourt forces in the Palmetto State. She played in 29 games for a 4A South Pointe team that finished with a 26-3 record, went a perfect 12-0 in its region and were Upper State championship participants. Cunningham averaged a double-double of 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds plus 2.7 steals and 1.8 assists. 

As Cunningham is in the throes of her final season on the travel ranks, the offers are still pouring in for the veteran star from 4A South Pointe. She recently landed another Division I offer – this one by way of Alabama. Anyone who has watched Cunningham perform over the years understands that she is one of the most skilled interior scorers and rebounders there is – a major reason why the Stallions have established themselves as a state power in the 4A ranks. Cunningham would average a double-double of 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds plus 2.7 steals a game. Her Elite 17U EYBL went 3-1 at Peach Games.

It was great watching G-Money play again up close and in personal for an extended period of games. I first saw her actually coaching against with John McGraw with Southeast United when she was with FBC . At an early age she was bigger and stronger than everyone else and did not have to rely on much skill to dominate games against kids her age. Seeing where her game has grown from that point really made me happy and it was great speaking with her about it at the event. She is a wonderful young lady who is soft spoken and kind off the court, whenever she steps in between the lines Ja’Nyia is a completely different young lady as she was a force to be reckoned with for opposing teams all weekend long. The touch and skill to go along with excellent footwork at the rim was impressive as was her ability to step out to the perimeter, face up, and knock down shots from both the midrange and behind the three point line. When defenders closed out under control, she attacked the basket under control and with authority slashing to the rim and scoring. She is very skilled player who will be effective inside and out on the division one level in college. When I asked her is she had a timetable for decision, she told my before the new year.

Cunningham is another that has secured her fair share of Division I offers. Since the start of the season, North Carolina Central, Charleston and North Carolina A&T have extended offers in the direction of this talented big from 4A South Pointe. Cunningham is a HER Elite product that became South Pointe’s all-time leading scorer for either girls or boys basketball. She played in all 29 games this past season for the Stallions and averaged a double-double of 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds plus 2.7 steals per contest. Cunningham led the Stallions to another berth in the 4A Upper State championship game. 

In the years that Cunningham has spent sporting South Pointe red, she has left an indelible mark on the school’s girls’ basketball program. Last month, Cunningham reached a lofty career milestone when she reached the 2,000-point plateau for her career. In addition, Cunningham became South Pointe’s all-time leading scorer for either girls or boys basketball. She completed what was another solid Stallions season where the double-double she averaged (20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds) plus 2.7 steals per contest led South Pointe to another berth in the 4A Upper State championship game. Cunningham is also continuing to secure Division I offers. 

Ranked third only behind Westside and North Augusta in the most recent 4A coaches’ poll, coach Stephanie Butler-Graham’s South Pointe bunch has once again been one of the teams to beat all season long. The Stallions have not dropped a game against an in-state opponent all season long and that continued thanks to the 20 points and nine rebounds put forth by Cunningham. In addition, she joined the 2,000-point club for her career. Cunningham’s performance helped South Pointe extend its winning streak to 17 games and the Stallions look to make it 18 consecutive when they host Wren on Friday.
