247 rates her a 4-star SF standing 6'0" tall.  She attends Princess Anne HS in Virginia Beach, VA.  

For the '23-'24 season she was named Class 5 State Player of the Year becoming the first freshman, girl or boy, to be named state player of the year since the Virginia High School League began selecting all-state teams in 2014.  In that season, she averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds, 4 steals, and 4 blocks per game.  In the '24 state finals she scored 30 pts. to lead her team to its 10th state title in the previous 11 years.  Then in the '25 state finals she scored 17 pts., grabbed 9 reb. and blocked 8 shots as Princess Anne won it's 11th state title and capped off an undefeated season.  Of note, the final score in this game was 70-28!

OK, but only after she learns the name of the university...

Have not seen her yet, but she plays her home games about 5 miles from where I live. 

Comes from a basketball factory -- school has won 15 state titles. 

South Carolina has already offered and by the time she's actually a senior, she'll have her pick of schools -- and get a hefty paycheck. 

We're the longest of longshots -- but if you don't ask ...

Info on her current season has been a rare find.

Well, there's ugly and then there's really ugly basketball.  The undefeated Princess Anne team vs the winless Tallwood girls.  Princess Anne played its second unit the entire 1st Q at which time PA led 29-2.  The starters opened the 2nd and played just 4 minutes before the 2nd unit returned.  At halftime, PA led 49-7.  2nd unit played the entire 3rd Q and led 67-7.  2nd unit remained in for the 4th under a running clock.  Final score 80-7.  Tallwood never scored a point in the entire 2nd half.

Just watched a helluva well-played game for the Virginia 5A state championship.  Undefeated Princess Anne (27-0) vs. Menchville (25-1).  PA had won the 3 previous state titles and 15 titles since 2002.  Tonight in OT, they made it 4 and 16 with a 65-62 overtime win.  

I have zero expectations that we would ever see Ojo suit up as a Hoosier, but this young lady is a ballplayer.  Great court awareness and instincts for the ball.  8 of her points came on offensive rebounds putbacks.  Game stats:  27p,  11r,  1a,  3s,  6b,  0t.    Limited stats for the season - 14 games:  18.7p,  8.14,  3.41,  3.92,  2.2b,  .9t
