In the semifinal, she poured in 24 points on an incredible 9-of-10 shooting while drawing six fouls that helped remove Centennial’s top two seniors from the game. She carried that momentum into the final, leading all scorers with 22 points, going 8-of-10 from the free-throw line, drawing eight fouls, and grabbing five rebounds to control the glass. While her scoring was critical, her defensive intelligence set her apart—playing 30 high-intensity minutes in the final and recording five steals across the two games. By combining veteran poise with physical presence, Vega kept Doral composed under pressure and clinical when the championship was on the line.

Three Level Scorer

Stephanie Vega Stephanie Vega 5'7" | SF Doral Academy | 2026 State FL was a “beast” at the New Year Classic and one of the most polished and talented players at the event. She has the ability to score from anywhere on the court – a three level scorer. Vega’s jump shot was very efficient and she had the ability to catch and shoot or create the space to shoot the three off of the dribble. Vega’s threat from the perimeter was a perfect compliment to her ability to get to the rim. She could maneuver to the rim with the dribble and also get to the rim with a deadly spin move. She was very skilled at drawing fouls and getting to the freethrow line. A lot of the freethrow opportunties were of the “and-one” variety. Vega is a skilled playmaker who knows how to get the ball to her teammates for scoring opportunity. Her passing ability along with her rebounding and scoring were on display.

Here are some the fireworks that Vega delivered:  

Drive through the lane and score, drives and draws foul, grabs the offensive rebound and draws the foul, Vega has the ability to play physical,  she executes a patented spin move in the middle  creates space for the scoring opportunity,  a beautifule drive and score at the rim , nice drive and dish to teammate, drive to baseline and got to freethrow line , sneaky score off the inbounds pass , a threepointer from the deep left elbow, and a drive, crossover, and finish in the paint.

Vega is a talent and not many can match her offensive firepower. She made a future “stock riser case” over the weekend.
