Golden City UAA streamed its 17U and 16U practices on Saturday with numerous ranked prospects on the rosters. Here are some notes from the 17U group:
One of the big surprises was the play of St. Ignatius’ Sabrina Ma, who outplayed her No. 23 ranking. At 5-foot-10, she is a high-level shooter, strong, long-armed, quick and likes contact, Golden City director Armando Pazos said.
Bishop O’Dowd 2022 guard Amaya Bonner (No. 1 in the 2022 class) has improved on her jumper to go with her ability to get to the basket. “She is one of the best shooters in the program,” Pazos said.
Lick-Wilermding 2022 guard Annabel Schneiberg made a big jump in the post-high school rankings to come in at No. 10. “She’s a good shooter, smooth player and runs the pick-n-roll extremely well,” Pazos said.
Salesian 2021 point guard Alexandra Alvarado is a Division I point guard prospect who plays hard, knows how to run a team and can pick up defensively the length of the court, Pazos said
St. Mary’s-Berkeley/CA Ballaz 2021 wing Jasmine Farmer is a player to watch as one of the top returners for the Panthers next season.
