Aurora Central Catholic senior Sofia Orozco definitely has game and one word — versatile —could be the best way to describe it.

On the profile page of her Hudl account, an online tool used by high school athletes to promote themselves to potential college recruiters, the 6-foot Orozco has a list of all the positions she has played for Chargers coach LeVada Smith during her two seasons on the varsity.

It includes center, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and even point guard.

“I just go wherever coach needs me,” Orozco said with a shrug and a smile. “I do prefer being more of a forward or wing. I definitely like being on the outside and facing the basket.

“If I have to bring up the ball, I’ll bring up the ball. I think I can handle it.”

If necessity is indeed the mother of invention, that classic proverb may help explain some of Orozco’s assignments.

Last season, for example, with two senior guards sidelined for the bulk of the season rehabbing ACL surgeries, Orozco had to take on more of the scoring and leadership load.

She responded well, averaging 17.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.3 blocked shots. Orozco led ACC (22-11) to its third regional title in the last five seasons and its first sectional semifinal win while earning all-conference and third team all-state honors.

“I was definitely surprised and did not expect that,” Orozco said of being all-state. “Obviously, I had to step up.”

The injuries also opened up valuable playing time for younger players who gained experience that should serve them well this season as part of the team’s core players headed up by Orozco.

“My sophomore year I was just very quiet,” said Orozco, who deferred to four-year varsity players Riley Cwinski and Sofia Corral, now playing in college at St. Francis in Joliet and New York University, respectively. “They helped me a lot, always giving me good advice.

“This year I have to be more vocal. The coaches expect a lot from me. I’m not selfish with the ball but have a part in our scoring.”

It has been a natural progression, according to her coach.

“Being that height and having the perimeter skills along with ball handling, shooting, passing and the ability to get to the basket allows Sofia to create a mismatch down low,” Smith said.

Orozco believes a personal goal of averaging a double-double in points and rebounds this season is definitely within reach.

“She’s 6-feet tall and long,” Smith said. “They’re not going over her back to get the ball.”

Orozco pointed out she has multiple roles with her Illinois Rockets travel team as well.

She confirmed that her family embracing athletics steered her toward the right track, especially since she decided to focus on basketball since early on in high school.

Her parents, Miguel and Marce, played soccer and volleyball, respectively, in their native Mexico. Her dad had a chance to play professionally but decided not to take that route.

Sofia is one of four daughters. Older sisters Alexa and Isabella played soccer at Bellarmine and ran track and cross country at DePaul, respectively. Younger sister Camila is 7 and trying several sports.

Sofia has NCAA Division III offers from Illinois College, Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Dubuque and Benedictine but will wait until after the season to decide.

Smith feels she can play at the Division II level.

“She’s a silent assassin,” he said of the slender Orozco, who continues to work on improving her strength. “If I told her I wanted to shoot threes all the time, she would probably hit 44 to 48%.

“On defense, she’s very mobile and long and she’s tough to guard. Her range and ability to take it to the basket can create mismatches.”
