continues to show off her tough defense sliding in front of her opponents and locking it up to take possession pushing it the other direction. She’s tough handling the ball under pressure up the court making sure she can score some points off the glass. She flies out of nowhere to get her hands in the way on defense.

High energy and even higher motor describes the way this kid plays every time she steps out on the court. Her speed and athleticism make her extremely difficult to deal with on defense. She is excellent in a fast tempo pressing dfensive scheme. Her leaping ability along with her size also make her a double-digit rebounder. She will find ways to score on the offensive end as well. A 2026 Unsigned Senior that is well under the radar in my opinion.

A true athlete that lays it all out on the court. I witnessed Kaiya be a one-man reckoning crew defensively on the press for her Lake Norman squad. She is fast enough to cover sideline to sideline, and she did exactly that to cause steals and turnovers numerous times. She is long and lanky with a nice wingspan that caused opponents trouble all day. She definitely was an eye opener for the people and coaches watching in the stands. I love the energy she brings to the game. If you need a defensive stop she will get it for you!

continues to impress me with her defense and ability to get her hands in the way no matter where she is on the court. She anticipates passes and gets in the way, or she turns quickly at the perfect time to deflect a pass away from a cutting opponent. She can score on multiple levels on offense knowing how to make the defense shift and get to the gaps to put up her jumper off the pass.

was playing tough defense as usual coming up with steals and tying up the ball making it difficult for her opponents to get a play going. She sees the floor hitting her teammates in the hands as they cut to the basket. She does well even starting with her back to the basket like a post player driving around her defender to bank it off the glass.

was another state championship winner who used her defense to help secure the victory. She was all over the court constantly moving and anticipating what the offense was going to try to do. She knew when to slide into the help position, and she battled against anyone knowing how to stay in front or settle behind an opponent.

had a tough take at the basket cleaning up her own glass, using power dribbles to get into position, and banking it in for two. She has a quickness about her jumping in passing lanes to grab the steal, and she immediately finds a teammate to push it up the court and get some points. She flies all over the court on defense knowing she always has a chance to gain the possession. She had a tough blocked shot right out of a timeout thwarting her opponents from scoring.

had a quick close out on defense being able to slide down into the help position and pop out to her opponent quickly when needed. She hustled back on defense being ready to protect the basket blocking shots in transition. She was patient waiting for an opening, and she’d take advantage exploding to the basket.

Bond never stops moving on the basketball court. She attacks the basket with intentional cuts and drives hard from the perimeter as well. On defense, she can compete with bigger players and keep the smaller guards in front of her. Bond is a tremendous athlete who competes. She gives her all on offense, on defense, and on the glass. As a sophomore at West Carrubus, she scored 13 points, averaged 7 rebounds, forced nearly 3 steals, and blocked several shots every single night.
