Give a good hand for the girls we believe are defensive geniuses and how they interact with their teams on the defensive side of the ball.
6’3, C, La Jolla Country Day HS, Breya Cunningham Breya Cunningham 6'3" | C La Jolla Country Day | 2023 State #3 Nation CA – Breya is a shot blocker phenom, she is always in the right place to block a shot on the court. She has great length and size, which allows for her to have great timing on blocking shots, this is a really good attribute for her game.
5’7, PG, Flintridge Prep HS, Ashley Chea Ashley Chea 5'6" | PG Flintridge Prep HS | 2023 State CA – Ashley is a defensive problem, she is a lock up artist and one of the toughest defenders in her class and maybe the state. She is smart, she can has a very good basketball IQ and she will be the leader on the floor most coaches need. Ashley is a dynamic guard on both sides of the ball, but her body type was made to be a defensive stopper, that is what we believe.
6’2, C, San Joaquin Memorial HS, Meadow Roland Meadow Roland 6'2" | C San Joaquin Memorial | 2023 State CA – Meadow is a defensive stopper as well, she is most times watched chasing a girl down in transition and blocking their shot off the backboard. She has long arms that allow her to time the opponent and block their shot or get some many deflections needed.
5’5. CG, Corona Centennial HS, Sydni Summers Sydni Summers 5'4" | CG Corona Centennial HS | 2023 State CA – Sydni is strong, quick, and very agile as a player, all of those attributes to her game makes her a great defensive player. She can sit down and lockup her opponent and use her skills to frustrate them on or off the ball. She is quick enough to run you down and poke out balls or cut you off on the break and get steals for easy layups of assists. She is fun to watch on defense.
