Makayla Flores Makayla Flores 5'10" | RS/MB Bishop Amat | 2028 CA was one of the more impactful attackers in the showcase. She swung with power, using a heavy arm and impressive reach to attack over the block, consistently putting opposing defenses in a difficult position. Makayla attacked with that same power throughout the showcase, and her reach at the point of contact made her a matchup problem for blockers trying to time her swing.

That dual identity, a closer at the net and a lifter of everyone around her, is exactly what makes a right side more than just an attacking option.

Speaking directly to LovbLA’s Annie Drews, Makayla offered this: stay disciplined, keep that drive and motivation, keep practicing when nobody is watching, and be the best version of yourself. She closed it out with a congratulations to Drews and her baby.
