high-upside freshman guard with a proven scorer’s résumé
Aaliyah Perez-Sandi entered Hope International in the 2025-26 season as a freshman guard from Montebello, CA, and her prep résumé is the real hook: 1,200 career high-school points, 2023-24 All-CIF and Santa Fe League MVP honors, plus Scholar-Athlete recognition and 150+ community-service hours. In college, she’s still early in the sample size, but the fit reads like a scrappy, intelligent perimeter guard with competitive edge, leadership habits, and enough scoring pedigree to be worth tracking as she grows into the Royals’ rotation.
