Expert Analysis
Angie Saiter | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Goddard led the way with 19 points and 5 steals. She is a playmaker with eyes and a mind that is thinking two steps ahead! Her drives to the basket and ability to dish it to her teammates for the assist is right on target! Love her jab step and handles!

This kid will be special! I have seen her before and did see her again back in the scrimmage month of November. I attended the big Alter v Wayne game today and she really has taken her game to a high level. Very well poised for a freshman, plays the game with intensity and passion with a very good motor. Quick and active, moves well and creates. Loves to push tempo. (Featured photo above)

Explosive guard! Goddard’s defense is suffocating, and her speed simply doesn’t wear down! The sky’s the limit for NaRiya, as she has solid skills on both ends of the court, strong shooter, and high basketball IQ. (Below on defense)

Wow this young lady is explosive! Just needs to gain experience to get the most out of her game, but she is so talented. Her ceiling is high and she has good on-ball defense. Quick active and can pressure her opponent, she also runs the floor and is capable to scoring in a variety of ways.

NaRiya had a great AAU season. She added to her offense with a nice midrange game and a more consistent long range jumper. Her ability to get into the lane and finish is really one of the best in the class. She is a dynamic defender and makes life miserable for whoever she is guarding. She will get her hands on passes and jump through the passing lane to steal a pass with ease. For her size , she rebounds better than a lot of post players. She debuts at #11 in the 2028 rankings.
