continues to elevate her game and prove why she is one of the most dynamic guards in Louisiana’s Class of 2028. The Many High and Cajun Heat Elite standout has developed into an elite ball handler with great speed, confidence, and the ability to control the pace of the game every time she steps on the floor. Ranked No. 12 in the state and No. 5 at her position, Palacio’s stock continues to rise with her overall skill development and competitive mindset.
What stands out most is her explosiveness off the dribble. Palacio possesses a nasty first step that allows her to break down defenders and create scoring opportunities from all three levels. Whether it’s attacking the rim, pulling up from mid-range — which may be her biggest offensive weapon — or knocking down perimeter shots, she consistently puts pressure on defenses.
Defensively, Palacio competes with the same intensity. She plays aggressive on both ends of the floor, moves her feet well, and embraces the challenge of guarding opposing ball handlers. Her quickness, effort, and lockdown defensive mentality allow her to create turnovers and disrupt offensive rhythm consistently.
As her game continues to mature, Palacio is becoming one of the more complete guards in Louisiana’s 2028 class. Her combination of speed, shot-making, ball handling, and defensive toughness makes her a player that continues to turn heads every time she competes.

Paris—better known as “P” to her coaches, trainers, and teammates—is the definition of a grinder. Nothing about her journey has been given; everything has been earned through sacrifice, discipline, and a relentless drive to improve every single day. From traveling the country with AAU squads to competing in college prospect camps nationwide, Paris has embraced every moment to sharpen her game and elevate her level.
She plays fast. She plays hard. And most importantly—she plays with purpose.
With the ball in her hands, Paris is a problem. Her handle is tight, controlled, and confident, allowing her to create space and control the tempo at will. The work she’s put in is showing up in real time. She can stretch defenses with deep three-point range or attack downhill and finish through contact with strength and confidence. Defenders are constantly forced to choose—and more often than not, they’re choosing wrong.
But what truly separates Paris is her presence on both ends of the floor.
Defensively, she takes it personal. She’s physical, locked in, and relentless—applying pressure, forcing turnovers, and turning defense into instant offense. She doesn’t just guard… she disrupts, sets the tone, and changes the game.
And the work doesn’t stop when the clock hits zero.
Off the court, Paris is just as impactful—giving back by training and mentoring younger athletes in her community. That speaks volumes about her leadership, character, and love for the game. In the classroom, she’s getting it done as an A & B student, showing she has the discipline and focus to succeed at the next level.
Because make no mistake—that’s where she’s headed.
Paris isn’t just chasing the next level… she’s preparing for it. With her work ethic, skillset, and mindset, she’s putting herself in position to stand out when the opportunity comes.
Remember the name.
“P” is coming.

Paris, also known as “P” for the Many Lady tigers, is turning into a great floor general for her team and teammates. P was handling the ball in, though ball pressure limited her turnovers, and playing hard on both sides of the ball. She can score from all levels on the floor, but she was shining the most in the St. Mary Invitational with her ball movement and assists that were leading to points. She played very unselfish ball and almost had a double-double in her last game.

, also known as P is a combo guard wearing number 0 for the Lady Tigers at Many High School, has made a remarkable return to the basketball court. After missing some time last year due to a school transfer and an early-season absence, Paris has been a significant presence on the floor. When she plays, she is known for her tenacious defense, effectively “locking down” ball handlers and forcing turnovers. Paris embraces challenges, regardless of position or mismatch, and consistently performs at a high level. Offensively, Paris is a versatile three-level scorer, with much of her impact coming from beyond the arc or driving to the rim. Her ball-handling skills are exceptional; she is adept with both her left and right hands. Recently, she has shown a preference for driving to her left, successfully converting several contested “and-1” plays with that hand. Paris is a highly skilled player to watch, with ample time to further develop her game and refine minor aspects.

, a sophomore Combo Guard for Many High School’s Lady Tigers, recently returned to the basketball court in a game against Converse High School. Having served as the starting point guard for the Lady Tigers during the summer, Paris made her comeback from the bench with limited playing time following emergency jaw surgery. Despite the restricted minutes, Paris demonstrated her capabilities, showcasing her ball handles. She effectively managed on-ball pressure and created space, ultimately driving into the paint to score with a strong left-handed bucket. In her second game back, Paris had two steals in her game against Northwood and applied great ball pressure while playing hard on defense, though she was a little quiet on offense against Northwood. We wish her luck this upcoming season as she continues to make an comeback season. Good luck young lady.
