At one point the Mustangs relied on Kiylah Presley for their offense. Despite all her efforts the Mustangs found it hard to break into the top three of the WCAC. Kiylah now plays at Arizona State where she was named to the Big 12 All Rookie team.

Sierra Thomas Sierra Thomas 6'1" | OH Bishop McNamara | 2029 State VA has the potential to exceed Kiylah with her offensive performance. She has the athleticism with a father who played professional basketball for the Wizards and a mother who played basketball at the collegiate level with Syracuse. Her approach jump reaches 10’4″ allowing her to tip balls over many blocks. At 6’0″ she has plenty of height to dominate outside.

Sierra leads the team in kills getting support from the left handed swinging Alexa Bracey Alexa Bracey 6'0" | RS Bishop McNamara | 2027 State VA and fellow sophomore Adaeze Eze Adaeze Eze 5'10" | OH/RS Bishop McNamara | 2029 State VA .

Sierra is the third ranked player in the class of 2029.

One of two star players who stayed with Maryland Juniors, though with her older sister playing for Paramount I suspected a move there. As stated in previous evaluations her father played professional basketball for a number of years, including the Wizards. Her mother also played basketball for Syracuse. Sierra brings their athleticism to the court when she plays.

At 6’0″ she brings an approach jump of 10’4″ to the court. When she tips over the block her hand is normally above the blockers hands and the ball drops to the floor just over the block. A six rotation player who could still use some work ironing out the consistency of her back row play. Maryland Juniors prefers her playing back row because of the missiles she fires over the net.

Very deserving of an NTPD invite.

Reagan Barrett Reagan Barrett 6'1" | OH/RS Notre Dame Preparatory | 2028 State VA is a class of 2028 who also played on the 14 team. She moved from right side to left side where she is just as potent as Sierra. She also plays six rotations, firing high velocity shots into the opponent’s back row.

When you watch Sierra play you can see the athleticism in her game. Her dad played professional basketball for a number of years while her mom also played basketball for Syracuse. It is no wonder she flies with an approach jump reaching 10’4″.

Last year she played for Maryland Juniors 14, which earned an Open bid for Junior Nationals. Many of those players left to play for either Metro Travel or Metro National. Sierra stayed with Maryland Juniors. Despite all those departures they still rank as the third best team in the Region, repeating as winners of the 15 Open at National Harbor (they won it last year as 14s). They also battled to a competitive ninth place finish at Capitol Hill Classic.

At some point it would not surprise me to see her get an NTPD invite. She certainly has the skill set. They can’t all be Metro players. It also would not surprise me that plenty of power four schools have her name in their notebooks as a player to pursue.
