Bell Creek Academy | 2031
FL
(Cover Photo) has been playing valuable minutes all season on varsity for Bell Creek Academy. As a 7th grader, she was the team’s second-leading scorer, averaging 10.8 points per game, and she continued that production into the playoffs. She helped lead her team to the Class 2A regional quarterfinals, where they fell short in a close game.
Despite the loss, Ortiz earned the respect of opposing teams, who face-guarded her all game and made sure to track her at all times on the court. Her ability to shoot the ball at a high percentage forced teams throughout the playoffs to respect her game and game plan specifically for her.
We are excited to see how Ortiz’s game will continue to grow, as she still has two more years before she is even considered a high schooler.

Gigi showed confidence as a shooter by knocking down an impressive corner three and clearly playing with a green light. When attacking the rim, she displayed good touch and creativity by finishing off the opposite foot. Defensively, Gigi put pressure on the ball and competed every possession. She’s only a 7th grader and is already earning significant varsity minutes and valuable reps which will only bode well for her development.

Gigi showed up to play against Plant City Raiders in ENG Classic. The seventh grade guard got into her shot early in the game. She also turned defensive steals into transition buckets. GIGI scored 28 of the 56 points Bell Creek Academy scored in the contest. This young resilent guard is comfortable with the ball in her hand.
