The 5-foot-9 point guard is nearing another title as she has led No. 20 Monterey to the Texas State Finals. She was at her best against Memorial Texas on Tuesday, charting 20 points in a narrow 60-57 victory.

The post featured the 60-57 scorecard from the game, along with Chavez's eye-pleasing moves.

First up, Aaliyah fooled two defenders to throw a beautiful loop into the basket. Then she got rid of one of the blockers in a 2v1 situation and then left the other reeling for another 3-pointer. The five-star athlete showcased her pace and roared after completing an athletic dunk.

It was not all. After receiving a pass, Aaliyah Chavez left one defender reeling and sneaked another shot between two defenders.

Her shooting skills were top-notch, and the 18-year-old was too much to handle for the defenders. Chavez was casually brushing past defenders, dribbling the whole squad, running down the whole court and dunking it in at every chance she got.

Monterey's squad was elated to enter the finals, and the players celebrated like there was no tomorrow. They also held a trophy featuring a golden basketball and a poster that read, "State Semi Champs!" after the game. They will face the Liberty Hill Panthers in the final showdown on March 1.
