Montini Christmas Tournament: Senior Evals

This past weekend, I was at Montini Catholic High School for the final day of the Montini Christmas Tournament, which featured several of the best Girls Basketball teams in the state. I was present for six games on Saturday and noticed dozens of impressive players. I know that there were even more outstanding performances throughout the week, but here are some Seniors who stood out to me on Saturday: &nbsp; <strong>Delaney Brooks</strong> got Evanston Township off to a hot start against Geneva, knocking down a few from deep in the first half. She has a very consistent form and confidence when shooting beyond the arc. Brooks missed the 2^nd half with an apparent injury, but finished the game with 12pts. Marist’s Senior Captain, <strong>Abby Callahan</strong>, was all over the floor against Benet. Callahan can score inside, but her mid-range and 3 point shot stood out on Saturday. She possesses a keen ability to get open without the ball to where her teammates can set her up. Callahan finished the game with 14pts and 10reb. Mother McAuley has a nice pair of Seniors that contributed nicely in their 3^rd place game against Fremd. PG <strong>Nikki Murphy</strong> is a stable ball handler and quick both with and without the ball. She also plays ferocious on-ball defense and can knock down shots from deep. In the inside, <strong>Grace Hynes</strong> uses her size well to gain position on offense and rebound well on both ends. Hynes finished with 15pts and 8reb and was named 1^st Team All-Tournament. <strong>Anne Stritzel</strong>, of tournament champion Nazareth, had a bit of a slow start, but picked things up in the second half to propel her team forward. The Senior Forward moves well in the lane and is a strong finisher at the rim. Also a plus shooter. Stritzel finished the game with 18pts and was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
