No. 1 ranked junior Jerzy Robinson had a dominant outing on Saturday as the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers defeated the Louisville Royals 82-41 at home. She dropped 40 points and did not let up even though they were leading by a wide margin in the fourth quarter.

The five-star combo guard has been compared to a lot of NBA and WNBA stars as of late, but her performance against Louisville had them particularly comparing her to Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero.

"Female Banchero," said one commenter.
"PAOLA Banchero 🔥🔥🔥," added another person.
"The Paolo of women’s hoops," another commenter pointed out.

Meanwhile, other commenters were just in awe of how well she played during that game, while others commented that she looked like another NBA player.

"sending a hard double at her not much else you can do she too good😭," one commenter said.
"Quote me on this ….. Jerzy is going to the league Fosho!" claimed another person.
"She looks like Charlie Villanueva wit a ponytail," another person joked

She had a spectacular performance in Sierra Canyon's previous game against Chaminade on Wednesday, scoring 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists. The Trailblazers won the game 95-31.

Jerzy Robinson and Sierra Canyon to take on Hamiley Arenas and Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) next

While Sierra Canyon dominated its last few opponents with wide margins, their next opponent may give them a challenge as it will be against Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. The team will be led by freshman rising star Hamiley Arenas, the daughter of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas.

Even though she is still a freshman at a school known for its basketball program, Arenas averages a double-double with 22.8 points and 12.7 rebounds per game in 16 games played. She also has 3.3 assists, 3.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.

After Notre Dame, Jerzy Robinson's Sierra Canyon would face a tougher opponent in Harvard Westlake, which beat Notre Dame last Friday, 77-36. The Trailblazers are still the favorites to win those games, however.
