Castaneda was impressive playing against some of the top talent in Southern Arizona. A physical and relentless defender on forced her opponents into bad passes and turnovers. Sees the floor at a high level and makes plays. Offensively she can score effectively from the perimeter but has the skill and strength to get in the paint and make it happen. Fundamentally strong. Has the mindset and skillset that will take her far. Expect her first season of high school basketball to be a good one.

A newcomer to the high school basketball scene. Castaneda has been impressive in my viewings of her. A tough guard who plays with great composure for her age. She has a very skilled handle and great speed to go with it. An effective mid range scorer who can also score very well from the perimeter. Castaneda can impact the game on both sides of the ball at a high level. Will be a freshman of the year candidate here in Southern Arizona.
