Captain Marvel and Superwoman — meet Ojo and Rickenbacker. These two were a force of nature tonight, and together they made sure the Cavaliers had an answer for everything. Tristan was everywhere on that floor, doing whatever her team needed without hesitation. Pull-up jumper from the outside? She stepped up and buried it. A screen needed to free up a guard? She set it hard and set it right. Tristan was built for this moment and she made sure everyone in that building knew it.

had a couple of easy layups she missed, but you still saw the ability she has as a slasher. She used great footwork and had some crafty finishes. Tristan had a lot of big buckets late from her drives, and Princess Anne doesn’t get this game to OT without her. She finished with 19 points and 6 rebounds.

Rickenbacker, and East Carolina commit, continues to provide leadership and versatility as Princess Anne pursues another state title. In the Cavaliers’ 57-43 state semifinal win over Fleming, she found space inside for scoring opportunities and created offense by delivering entry passes to teammates in the paint. In the state quarterfinal win over King’s Fork, Rickenbacker recorded 12 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Her ability to attack off the wing, handle the ball in transition, and facilitate for teammates makes her a valuable all-around contributor.

Boo has found a special one with Trstan a six foot wing that can do it all it seems. She can easily drop 20 points in the books without making a three pointer. She has the range and when she adds that as a weapon that’s going to make things even worse for opponents. She is one of Virginia’s top players in a deep 2026 class.

Right now she is a wing that can play power forward for her team. Is an elite athlete, is the best athlete regardless of class! Good skills who can operate inside and out with the same level of play. She is a versatile scorer who also crashes the offensive glass and can play physically to pick up extra possessions for her team. I believe she is the team leading scorer for AAU with a team that has 3 other ESPN players. Great defender with her athleticism and size, she can guard 2 through the 5 positions that has taken a major jump and made the ESPN top 100 in the class of 2026!

Very strong presence in the front court she showed why she is a match-up problem for most players. She is an elite athlete with speed and power, she did most of her work in the paint using her athleticism and strength to get good looks at the basket. She had some good games going 9-11 for 22 points and 8 steals and also posted 8-14 game with 16 points and 5 steals!
