Chavez lived up to the hype in her final game, winning the state championship in the same month she will announce her highly anticipated college commitment.

Aaliyah Chavez can finally call herself a state champion to cap off her illustrious Texas high school girls basketball career. The nation’s top-ranked recruit led the Monterey Plainsmen to the University Interscholastic League Class 5A Division 2 state title against Liberty Hill.

Monterey's Aaliyah Chavez is the country's No. 1 girls basketball recruit and Saturday led team to a 64-35 win over Liberty Hill for a state title.

Led by the consensus national No. 1 recruit Aaliyah Chavez, Monterey held the Panthers to eight points in the final frame, missing 11 of their last 12 shots. Chavez scored a game-high 19 points but took 26 shots to do it.

Aaliyah Chavez wrapped up a legendary girls basketball career Saturday with the only thing missing from her resume: A state championship that ended Monterey's title drought that began more than four decades ago.

One final chapter remained to be written in the storybook career of one of the greatest high school girls basketball players of all time. It couldn’t have been written better. The player with nine 50-point games in her career drew the crowd and the media.
