Prep talk: Freshman Lucia Jameña is ready to show she has the ability to play


First-year girls basketball coach Will Burr of Harvard-Westlake High School had already concluded more than a month before the season began that 6-foot-2 freshman Lucia Jamenha would be an impact player.

She is the sister of Nicholas Jaminha, formerly of Harvard-Westlake and now a freshman at Duke University.

Bor said that Jaminha can play in different positions due to her size and versatility, or get inside or make threes like her brother.

She’s not the only standout freshman on the Wolverines’ roster. Valentino Collins is the daughter of former Harvard-Westlake and NBA player Jaron Collins. Her sister, Alessandra, is a junior for the Wolverines.

Senior Valentina Guerrero will lead the young Wolverines.

Burr is a highly regarded coach, having led Oak Park to four straight Southern Section titles.
