The 2026 Chagrin Valley Conference girls’ basketball all-star games brought together some of the league’s top talent Wednesday night at Wickliffe High School, and the stars delivered in a pair of showcase matchups.
In the opener, the Chagrin Division pulled away for a 61-45 win over the Lake Division, while the Valley Division followed with a 61-50 victory over the Metro Division in Game 2.
Game 1: Chagrin Division 61, Lake Division 45
The Chagrin Division used a balanced scoring attack and a strong second half to separate from the Lake Division.

Mia Lynch (Perry) chipped in 10 points, giving the Chagrin squad three double-figure scorers.
Aliciana Medina (Lutheran West) provided a spark from beyond the arc with two 3-pointers as part of her six points, while Emily Mechenbier (Perry) also scored six. Sasha Miller (Hawken) added five, and Courtney Norton (Orange) rounded out the scoring.

Alexis Kiser (Conneaut) added five, with Leah Valenti (Jefferson) and Isabel Stocker (Geneva) finishing with three points each.
Game 2: Valley Division 61, Metro Division 50
The nightcap featured a flurry of perimeter shooting, with both teams knocking down shots from deep, but the Valley Division used timely runs to secure the win.
Anna Dumstorff (Kirtland) led the charge with 13 points, knocking down four 3-pointers — two in each half — to pace the offense. Reese Harper (Crestwood) added 10 points, all coming after halftime, while Cloe Bengston (Rootstown) also scored 10 with a pair of 3-pointers.
Dumstorff and Bengston shared MVP honors.
Becca Brady (Crestwood) connected on two shots from long range as part of her eight points, and Stella Bateman (Berkshire) added seven. Gabby D’Amato (Kirtland) contributed six, and Amanda Peklay (Wickliffe) chipped in two.
The Metro Division was powered by a pair of standout performances.
Jaila Wiggins (Trinity) poured in a game-high 23 points, while Brooklyn Domzalski (Cuyahoga Heights) added 19, including six 3-pointers — five of them coming in a scorching second-half stretch that kept Metro within reach.
Lucy Spencer (Independence) scored three, while Emily Gibbons (Independence) and Reilly Conte (Cuyahoga Heights) each added two. Nila Thornton (Trinity) rounded out the scoring with one point.
Showcase of Talent
Across both games, the night highlighted the depth of talent across the conference, particularly from beyond the arc, where several players caught fire.
From Scales’ steady scoring to Dumstorff and Domzalski lighting it up from three-point range, the all-star games served as a fitting celebration of the season — and a glimpse at the next level for many of these standouts.
