Star's leadership boosted Knights
Los Angeles Times
|March 22, 2026
Kaleena Smith averaged 31 points, seven assists and four steals a game this season while playing for the No. 1 program in the Southland, but her expanded leadership role is what earns her the honor of The Times' girls' basketball player of the year.
KALEENA SMITH developed into a vocal leader for Ontario Christian. "As captain it's one of my responsibilities," the point guard says.
(GREG STEIN For The Times)
The 5-foot-6 junior point guard marshaled Ontario Christian to the CIF state championships in Sacramento for the first time in the program's history and along the way her voice spoke almost as loudly as her game — surprising for someone who is not talkative by nature.
"Her numbers speak for themselves but the biggest difference in Kaleena this season has been her leadership," Knights coach Aundre Cummings, said. "She's always coming to practice first and leaving last, which teammates respect, but also knowing when to speak up."
