Francesca Belibi became a high school dunking sensation when, as a sophomore two seasons ago, she was the first girl to dunk in a Colorado high school basketball game, according to espnW. Now a senior committed to Stanford, the 6-foot-1 five-star recruit continues to impress, and her latest jaw-dropping play came Saturday during a game with her Regis Jesuit (Aurora, Colo.) team.
Belibi’s teammate, Avery VanSickle, had the ball for what seemed like an easy lay-up against Heritage. But instead, VanSickle tossed the ball up in the air as Belibi came flying in for a stunning one-handed alley-oop — a first in girls’ high school history, USA TODAY High School Sports reported.

And her one-handed dunking has become famous, recently making this incredible play in Decemeber when she finished with a career-high 32 points, according to The Sentinel newspaper in Aurora.

“It was amazing,” said Belibi, who grew up playing tennis and took up basketball less than 16 months ago. “I’ve tried dunking in practice but never in a game. To do it in a game and get it on film to show the world was a great opportunity.”
