While Aaliyah Chavez, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2025 is yet to decide on her collegiate career, she has been nothing short of stellar for Monterey High School. Chavez has turned heads with her performances on the court, however, she has also won the hearts of the fans off the court.
Instagram user Neeley Johnson shared a story with Aaliyah Chavez, showing how the No. 1 recruit took time out for fans to talk to them during Monterey's playoff run:
"Even during playoffs this girl is still willing to come out & talk to students... That's why she is #1 on & off the court!!!," Johnson captioned the picture.
