Laila Stewart gives Arlington Baptist a hard-nosed, efficient two-way edge
In the 2025-26 season, Laila Stewart profiles as one of Arlington Baptist’s most dependable interior threats, combining efficient scoring, rebounding, and a knack for turning possession battles into Patriots momentum. She showed that upside in 2025, when she posted 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists in a win over Central Christian, and ABU’s staff has described her as a player who gives the team a spark and strong leadership on and off the court. The main storyline is health: a meniscus/knee injury previously interrupted her season, so her value is amplified by how quickly she has bounced back.
