Beach finished last season with about a 500. record but pushed District 7 to its limit come postseason. Beach made it to the Region qualifying round before being bounced out. Mila was a huge key to their success and is only going to get better. She plays nearly the entire game which shows her great stamina. She is a very patient play who lets the game come to her. She doesn’t get sped up against pressure and she doesn’t take bad shots. She has a smooth shooting stroke and a soft touch on her jump-shot. I am looking forward to seeing Mila take the next step in 26-27.

Beach had an incredible District run in 2026, many considering it a “Cinderella” run. They were the 6th-seed and were able to win the District Title, securing themselves a spot in the Region tournament with hopes of making the state tournament. Mila scored a team-high 20 points in their upset victory at the District Championship game. She shone brightest when her team needed her the most. Beach has a handful of talented young players with some older veterans returning next season. I anticipate Mila having an outstanding season in 2026-2027 with the taste of postseason success last year.

Mila found herself in Beach’s varsity starting lineup last season as an 8^th grader.  She moves like a veteran on the court, which indicates a good basketball IQ.  She plays well with teammates in their double-post zone offense.  She knows when to cut and more importantly, when not to cut.  She has a quick release and can knock down the mid-range with ease.  Her size and athleticism will lead her to improved defensive efforts in the future.
