The nation’s top high school basketball players will conglomerate inside the Moda Center in Portland, Ore., on April 12 for USA Basketball’s 26th Nike Hoop Summit, and when they do, the nation’s active leading scorer will be in attendance.
As she steamrolls toward 4,500 career points, Aaliyah Chavez – a consensus 5-star and top-ranked recruit for the 2025 class – has led her Lubbock Monterey Lady Plainsmen to a 28-4 record and the state’s No. 1 ranking in 2024-2025. On April 12 inside the Moda Center, she’ll try to help guide the nation’s best.
Chavez will be joined on the USA squad by Darianna “Dee” Alexander, Sienna Betts, Aaliyah Crump, Jasmine “Jazzy” Davidson, Alexandra Eschmeyer, Madison Francis, ZaKiyah Johnson, Grace Knox, Emilee Skinner, Jordan Speiser and Hailee Swain. They will square off against the World Team, comprised of the nation’s top 19-under international prospects.
The game, set to tip at 7:30 p.m. ET, will be broadcast live on USA Network and can be streamed on Peacock.
Eyes will certainly be glued to the 5-foot-11 Chavez – who is currently uncommitted and considering offers from Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, LSU, South Carolina and UCLA. She’s a walking bucket capable of dropping 50 on any night.
