Simanton led Bellevue with 21 points while shooting 7-of-14 from the field and adding six rebounds. She attacked the basket consistently and helped the Wolverines control the paint with 28 interior points.

Her scoring helped Bellevue secure a hard-fought semifinal victory over Roosevelt.

Simanton runs the Bellevue offense and makes quick reads in the half court. She has shown a knack for timely scoring and knocking down open shots when defenses collapse. Her leadership on both ends gives Bellevue a steady floor general they can lean on late.

The Seattle U commit is one of the most athletic and shifty guards in the state. She plays with great balance and footwork, showing she can separate at each level and provide some of the top on-ball defense in her class. Simanton leads the 3A favorites who are currently 7-0, and have won every game by 17+ points.

Simanton is an exceptional athlete and it shows up on both ends of the floor with her defense and ability to create off the bounce. She’s tough, quick, physical, and is consistently able to beat ballhandlers to spots, turn them, and force mistakes. Offensively, she is just tough to contain in one-on-ones and is able to put defenses into scramble mode.

Syesha played great with Bellevue all season, being a leader on the younger squad who surprised a lot of people. Simanton will play with Greyhounds this summer and will face a lot of top talent within the entire country. She is patient with the ball in her hands, attacking the defenses weaknesses and playing to her strengths. Her ball handling skills are elite and she finds her teammates when they are open with ease.

Big in their win over Auburn Mountainview. Was a constant presence in the paint and did a great job sniffing out gaps with her patience, then bursting through and working to space for shots. Added a lot of pace and shiftiness to their halfcourt offense and was a key penetrator.

Syesha is a fantastic player for this extremely unselfish and talented Bellevue team. Simanton is great with the ball in her hands, rarely turning the ball over and being able to run the offense to an elite level. She plays off ball just as elite, being able to find the weak spots in the defense and still create shots for herself and her teammates.

Exceptionally quick, both in her movements and decision-making. She shows a proficiency for shot creation, especially in the midrange, and is excellent at slashing inside. Has a good enough shot to pull defenders out which creates more opportunities for her to dice inside and make things happen. She’s tough too. Isn’t shy of inserting some physicality into the game and it doesn’t really matter what facet of the game it is either. She’s tough on the defensive end, tough at the rim, and has the motor/quickness to help out on the glass a bit.

Syesha attacks the bucket very well with either hand, being a top bucket getter in the 2026 class. She absorbs contact well down low, being able to adjust in the paint to draw the foul or get the bucket. She scores almost 20 a game while rarely shooting the 3, which is unique with how the game is played today.
