2025 No. 1 prospect Aaliyah Chavez breaks her own single-season scoring record

Lubbock (Texas) Monterey point guard Aaliyah Chavez continues to cement her status as the No. 1 prospect in the 2025 cycle and one of the top girls basketball recruits in recent memory.

In a Texas 5A Division II playoff game last week, Chavez broke her own scoring record. Dropping 44 points in a 91-53 win over El Paso Burges, the 5-foot-9 guard now has 1,344 points this season.

That mark breaks the record she set last season as a junior, where she scored 1,324 points.

Aaliyah Chavez scored 45 points in Monterey’s area round win vs. EP Burges.

Tonight the 5th ranked Lady Plainsmen face FW Brewer 6pm at Hardin-Simmons.

It’s just another notch in the belt for Chavez, who has her name smattered all across the Monterey record book. Not only does she have the all-time scoring record at the school for a single season and a career, but she’s also scored the most points in a game (57) and most assists in a single season (240), among others.

The McDonald’s All-American does it all for a loaded Monterey team that’s won over 30 games this season and is now amidst a playoff run. The Lady Plainsmen rank as the No. 5 team in the state of Texas, according to the On3 Composite.

Chavez is able to score at will, dominate the glass, pass the ball efficiently and can defend with the best of them. Earlier this season, the 2023-24 Texas Girls’ Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year nearly scored 100 points total in back-to-back games.

Monterey now takes on Fort Worth Brewer on Tuesday night in the next round of the playoffs.

Chavez remains uncommitted but is now down to four schools: Texas Tech, Texas, UCLA and Oklahoma. Over the summer, she broke down what it will take to land her commitment with On3’s Talia Goodman:

“The most important thing is to make sure I’m in a place where I have high energy,” Chavez said. “I don’t want a coach that’s low energy, and I need to make sure that they’re going to be there the whole time [I am]. I don’t want a coach that’s just going to be there for two years… I want them to be there all four years. Because that’s what I’m getting recruited off of, right? I want to be there all four years.”
