As the No. 3 seed traveling north to Jacksonville to face San Jose Prep, The First Academy steps into one of the most intriguing 2A Sweet 16 matchups between two of the most battle-tested teams in the classification. San Jose Prep’s depth presents a challenge, meaning Jas will need to lean into her dynamic athleticism, speed, and explosiveness to impact the game in multiple areas. Defensively, she can disrupt the game by jumping passing lanes, creating deflections, and crashing the boards with relentless effort and energy. Offensively, she spaces the floor as a reliable catch-and-shoot threat who forces defenders to stay attached, and when they close out hard, her quick first step allows her to attack downhill and create off the bounce. In a game where versatility and momentum swings will be pivotal, Jas’ ability to make plays all over the floor could be what pushes The First Academy into the region finals.
