Expert Analysis
Cedric Cobb | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Gonzales had one of the better guard performances of the event. The point guard looked increasingly confident shooting the three-ball and continued to showcase her high basketball IQ by pushing the tempo and finding teammates in transition for easy buckets.

Gonzales didn’t shoot the ball at her usual clip, but the junior point guard still found ways to make winning plays. She finished with 9 points and 3 assists, and the shots she did convert came at key moments when Mesquite needed them most. She had 8 points in the third quarter, helping her Wildcats gain momentum heading into the fourth. Gonzales played with composure at the point, managed the game’s tempo, and helped guide the Wildcats through a low-scoring championship matchup.

Gonzales is the quarterback for the Wildcats. Mesquite has been playing some of its best basketball late in the season, and that starts with Gonzales. She directs traffic, gets teammates organized, and understands situational basketball. She doesn’t force much — she takes what the defense gives. In the Final Four, decision-making wins games. If Gonzales controls the pace and limits turnovers, the Wildcats become very dangerous.

Skylie is a guard with energy that is never ending. She is a player that impacts the game on both sides of the court. She has great game IQ and stays level headed in big impact moments and her passing ability comes with ease. Skylie’s speed and range make her an elite guard but her ability to lead her team with confidence and composure is something that sets her apart from the rest.

Although Mesquite struggled, Gonzales was one of the bright spots in the contest. She is a good facilitator with high basketball IQ. I like her ability to hit shots from deep and I anticipate for her to have a break out season this winter.

Gonzales is next in line from a basketball family. She looks composed and plays the position as it should be played. She is an excellent passer and doesn’t over dribble the ball often. She has enough offense to keep opposing defenses honest.

Gonzales is everything you would expect from a coach’s kid. She plays with a high IQ, doesn’t make many turnovers, and plays at a consistent pace. On defense, she is rarely caught out of position and makes sure everyone knows their assignments.
