Aaliyah Chavez, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2025 played her final high school home game for Monterey against the Lubbock Cooper Pirates. The Pirates exacted revenge, defeating the Plainsmen 63-56 on Friday after their 63-57 defeat in December.

Despite the loss, Chavez put on another offensive masterclass as she was seen displaying impressive footwork to finish in the paint, convert tough 3-pointers off the dribble, steal the ball and score on a fastbreak and grab offensive rebounds for second chance points in the highlights uploaded by the famous basketball page Overtime Select on Saturday:

The hoops fans were in awe of her performance, realizing that this would be the last time they see Chavez play at home.

"Perfect player imo. She'll be one of the best if she keeps her head and attitude straight. These moves aren't done by his players. imo she could take on a boy's team and still finish with double points, one of the best players in women's basketball. Ppl talked about Caitlin, now they'll talk about Aaliyah for sure," another fan said.
"That's a pro hop right there. Not even guys can do that right," one fan said.
