About Kya
Expert Analysis
Tonia Ziter | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Kya is a quick, attacking guard who can get past defenders and create opportunities with her speed and confidence off the dribble. She has the kind of skill set that could translate well at the next level in basketball, but her ceiling on the soccer field is even higher.
After committing to Utah State last year, she’s stayed locked in on that path, continuing to improve and refine her game. With her athleticism, competitiveness, and continued growth, she’s positioned to make an immediate impact for the Aggies once she steps onto campus.

Kya has already committed to Utah State for soccer, but her basketball talent easily could have opened doors as well. On the court, she’s a dynamic athlete with rare speed and explosiveness for her size. She consistently beats defenders off the dribble and attacks the lane with purpose, showing excellent control and balance even against taller players.
Her finishing ability stands out—she has a smooth, high-arcing layup that’s nearly impossible to block, even by bigger opponents. Kya brings an energy and confidence that make her an all-around impact player, no matter which sport she’s playing.

Newton is a player that will score 20 and it is in stealth mode. She gets downhill, she can finish in traffic and you pair up her attack game with some jhigh percentage shooting you could really be in trouble. She has signed to play at Utah State for soccer, but she is a baller too.

Kya’s a true dual-sport threat—committed to USU for soccer, but she’s got college-level game on the court too. A crafty guard with a nasty up-and-under that shakes even the toughest posts. Her vision from soccer translates to hoops, and she uses it to make high-IQ plays all game long.
