Player Spotlight
Jayla Sykes (@jayla_sykes) | 2027 | 5’5 | PG | @allegiancegbb 17U
High caliber PG. Slashes through the defense on drives, dishing out to her teammates or finishing w/ a clean floater. Is also spectacular at following shots to clean up boards.
@PRO16G
Jayla Sykes (@jayla_sykes) continues to impress. When her team wants a paint touch she will blend strength and quickness to get where she wants to go.
Good things happen with the ball in her hands.
@NxtProHoops | @allegiancegbb
Jayla Sykes (@jayla_sykes) doing a little bit of everything for @allegiancegbb. Pushes the ball well in transition and has several strong defensive possessions in the first half.
If she’s not causing havoc on the ball, she’s communicating in help.

HALF: Walnut Grove 20, Emerson 14
Both defenses really settled in during the 2nd Q, with @WG_GirlsBB only posting a 5-4 edge for the quarter. One of those baskets comes on this baseline bucket from Jayla Sykes, who has 9 for the ballgame. Bisola Arowolo leads @EHSMavsGBB w 6pts.
FINAL: Prosper Walnut Grove 43, Frisco Emerson 32
From celebrating its 1st-ever playoff win last week to making the state semifinals, @WG_GirlsBB's dream postseason continues after a 15-6 4th quarter. Finley Chastain doubles-doubles with 15pts/13 rebs, Jayla Sykes adds 12pts.
Jayla is a true competitor. Explosive slasher who gets downhill at will. High-IQ guard and facilitator with a deadly mid-range floater. Great finisher through contact, knocks down the 3, and is a lockdown defender. Her growth has been huge this year!
Congratulations to Jayla Sykes on her selection to the All-Tournament team for the Platinum Division of the Dallas ISD Holiday Tournament! Her outstanding ball handling and clutch play making paid off, earning praise from tournament officials and coaches. @WalnutGroveHS
So proud of these girls and the way they showed up today. The hard work is showing! Special to see two of our Wildcats compete against each other on the court. #CMDT
