St. Pius St. Matthias (HS) known as Pius Matthias Academy are a small CIF4A school located in Downey with a few good players on their roster and we are going to talk a little about them in this articles, here we go.
2020, 5’3, PG, Crystal Menjivar is a fiesty point guard with a nice handle, nice stroke on her shot, plays with a tenacity you do rarely see from a small guard. Her ball handling skills keep her in control of the game, she rarely turns it over, can break down the defense and penetrate and kick to open shooters. If you are looking for a system point guard to run your stuff and can keep the defense honest with her outside shooting, then she is what a school at the D3 level would need, 4.00GPA to boot, makes the deal for her even sweeter.

2020, 5’5, SG, Ambar Clemente is another feisty guard with excellent defensive skills, she has the assignment to stop the best offensive player on the opposing team. She is a spot up shooter as well, if you drive and kick to her, she will knock down the three pointer with accuracy. It is up to her team to figure out how to get her the ball, but that is another story. She is in great shape and is ready to jump into action with her teammates. Maxpreps Stats
2020, 5’4, SG, Jamile Siordia is another all guard for Pius, she is aggressive in nature and is also a defensive threat on the floor, very quick and agile, can beat you to the rim and can make the midrange shot off the catch. Played JV last year, got a lot of time down there and it should do her some good for the Varsity team this year.
2022, 5’5, CG, Sadye Martinez is crafty and aggressive on the floor as a combo guard, she can score in bunches and is not afraid to attack the rim thru contact. She shoots the midrange with decent and her three ball is improving and she is a decent defender. Her upside is good, she will be able be a force to reckon with by the time she is a senior. Area Player for sure her Senior year. Maxpreps Stats
