As Iowa women’s basketball signee McKenna Woliczko continues to be stellar since her Jan. 2 return from injury, the future Hawkeyes star and No. 3 nationally-ranked Archbishop Mitty (12-1) will face No. 1 Ontario Christian (19-0) and top-overall 2027 prospect Kaleena Smith today in the 2026 Kay Yow Showcase from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.
Since Woliczko’s Jan. 2 return to the court for the Monarchs, the five-star and 2026 unanimous consensus No. 6-ranked future Hawkeye star has averaged 18 points and 12.7 rebounds per game on just around 14:40 of action, and recorded double-doubles in each of her three games played. Woliczko also earned a roster spot on the 2026 Team USA Nike Women’s Hoops Summit roster on Jan. 9, adding yet another honor to her outstanding prep career.
On the other side, Smith, who was offered by Iowa on June 1, is a superstar junior guard averaging 32.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.7 steals, 3.7 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks per game for Ontario Christian. The 5-foot-6 guard is currently a unanimous consensus five-star recruit and ranked as the No. 1 national recruit, point guard, and California player in the 2027 class by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports.
