Here is the Journal’s All-Metro Girls Basketball Team for the 2025-26 season.
The list is headed by 5-foot-8 senior Jordyn Dyer of La Cueva, a future University of Pacific athlete. She scored 23 points a game, and also averaged 7.1 rebounds for the Bears last season.
Dyer, the only senior on the first team, is surrounded by incredible younger talent.
Madi Martinez, Rio Rancho’s often electrifying 5-4 sophomore, scored 21 a game last season for the Bears.
Freshman Abby Pavia of Albuquerque High, the youngest of our starting five, was brilliant for the Bulldogs, scoring 20.6 points a game, plus nearly eight rebounds. The 5-7 Pavia often carried AHS, which played in the Pit this season for the first time since 1993.
Kaiyah Benally of Sandia, a 5-7 sophomore, is an almost absurdly well-rounded player; she scored a good bit for the Matadors, but her rebounding, passing, defense and floor leadership elevated Sandia’s entire roster.
The last of our first-teamers is Albuquerque Academy 6-foot sophomore point guard Lily Skarsgard, who is asked to do so many things well for the Chargers, and did as Academy’s MVP in a season that saw the program reach the Class 4A semifinals.
Skarsgard’s Academy teammate, 6-6 junior Harper Dunn, is part of the Journal’s second team.
