Kaleena Smith, Ontario Christian (Junior PG)
It’s hard to put into words the type of year that Special K had. The five-star junior was California Girls Gatorade Player of the Year, a First Team Naismith All-American and led Ontario Christian to an Open Division State Title. Smith terrorized the highest level of defenses, averaging 31.5 points per game, 6.9 assists, 3.7 rebounds and an unreal 4.5 steals. Her shooting splits were just as impressive, boasting a 54% shooting percentage, 89% free throw percentage and 38% three-point percentage.
Naomi Durrah, Silver Valley (Sophomore PG)
It’s rare to see a sophomore with this elite of production. Durrah was getting it done on both sides of the ball, averaging a whopping 33 points per game, 5.5 rebounds and an outrageous 6.5 steals per game this season, leading Silver Valley to a 20-7 record. She already became Silver Valley’s all-time leading scorer in her short high school career.
Armanyie Reed, Corona Centennial (Junior G)
One of the more underrated players in the area, Reed was key in Centennial’s Division 1 state title run. There wasn’t a thing on the court that she couldn’t do, averaging 13.7 points per game, 6.7 rebounds, 1.9 steals and an eye-popping 7.5 assists. She surpassed 1,000 career points during her junior campaign and went off for 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in Cen10’s state championship win.
Addison Archer, Rancho Christian (Freshman PG)
There hasn’t been a better freshman season than Archer’s in a long time. The young phenom averaged 26.6 points per game on an efficient 62% field goal percentage. Named Spots Illustrated Freshman of the Year, Archer also averaged 6.4 rebounds per game and 2.9 steals per game, leading Ranch Christian to a 26-9 record and state playoff birth.
Amalia Holguin, Sage Hill (Senior G)
The Texas commit did the impossible this season, leading Sage Hill to a legendary upset in the state playoffs over Sierra Canyon. It was a statement to the kind of year Holguin had, averaging 22.4 points per game, 3.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals. The Pacific Coast MVP led Sage Hill to a 28-6 overall record and a perfect 8-0 record in conference play.
Tatianna Griffin, Ontario Christian (Sophomore G)
Another Ontario Christian standout, the underclassman was unguardable in the Lady Knights’ state championship season. The No.1 sophomore in the country averaged 21.3 points per game, 7.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists. She was an honorable mention for this year’s Naismith All-America team and was pivotal on offense, defense and on the glass in Ontario Christian’s 34-2 record.
Jerzy Robinson, Sierra Canyon (Senior SG)
Robinson looked like a girl on a mission in her final season. The South Carolina commit averaged 21.7 points per game and 8.4 rebounds, leading Sierra Canyon to an Open Division CIF-SS Championship. The five-star capped off her stellar high school career with 2,649 points and was named a McDonald’s All-American.
Cydnee Bryant, Corona Centennial (Senior PF)
There was just no answer for Bryant in the paint this season. The Kansas commit averaged a double-double with 16 points per game and a ridiculous 16 rebounds, along with 2.1 blocks per game. Her play led Cen10 to a Division 1 State Championship and earned her McDonald’s All-American honors.
