State Tournament Standouts: Day 3

With Day 3 of the state tournament in the books, we look back at the ten players who had the biggest impact in the six games that we saw today. <hr /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="131131" first="Rachel" last="Leerar"] - 5’8 PG - 2021 - West</strong> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Leerar put together a complete performance in West Hancock’s quarterfinal win. She scored 15 points and added in seven steals and seven assists as she continuously looked to get her teammates involved. Leerar was a lockdown defender on the defensive end of the floor and was able to shut Logan-Magnolia down.</span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="134014" first="Olivia" last="Granstra"] - 5’8 PG - 2020 - Western Christian</strong> Granstra showcased a very solid ability to get to the rim and a quick first step against a very good North Linn defense. She scored 20 points and hit all nine shots she took at the line. Granstra was solid with the ball only turning it over once and keeping her team in the game until the very end. Her future is on the volleyball court but she is a very good guard too. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="135015" first="Grace" last="Flanagan"] - 5’8 G - 2020 - North Linn</strong> Flanagan got off to a hot start with 10 points and five steals in the opening quarter. She quieted down a little bit at the end of the game but her start for North Linn is really what got them in the drivers seat early. She finished with 15 points and seven steals while she battled foul trouble late in the game. Flanagan was a key player on both ends. <strong>Allie Petry - 5’6 G - 2021 - St. Albert</strong> Petry’s future lies on the volleyball court at Iowa State but against Newell-Fonda she was a bright spot scoring the ball. She had 19 points and 10 rebounds against a very potent Newell-Fonda defense. Petry can jump out of the gym and that was shown by her skying over Newell-Fonda’s posts for rebounds.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="134324" first="Shateah" last="Wetering"] - 5’11 SF - 2020 - Montezuma</strong> Wetering seemed to be the only player that could find the basket for Montezuma as she scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds. She was getting into the lane really well and was finding her open teammates all game long. If Wetering hadn’t played well then it would have been a rout for Saint Ansgar. The Iowa commit ended her career with a solid game. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="131245" first="Brooklyn" last="Hackbart"] - 5’11 F - 2021 - Saint Ansgar</strong> Hackbart was very efficient in their win over Montezuma. She scored 13 points and was looking to score it almost every time she got the ball. Hackbart also had 10 rebounds and was key late in the game grabbing multiple big rebounds to help secure the win. Hackbart is a solid stretch-4 type player who played solid on both ends of the floor. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="63019" first="Audi" last="Crooks"] - 6’3 C - 2023 - Bishop Garrigan</strong> Crooks was unstoppable on the inside for Bishop Garrigan. When she touched the ball deep in the post she was going to turn and score almost every time. She also was able to hold down the middle of the defense and continuously send back shot attempts. Crooks defended the paint well and gave Bishop Garrigan a good spark offensively. <strong>Sydney Livermore - 5’8 G - 2020 - Gehlen Catholic</strong> Despite being on the losing end Livermore was solid at getting to the basket and scoring the ball. She was aggressive on the glass as well pulling down 12 rebounds in the game. Livermore was very impressive all game long and was a big reason that Gehlen Catholic was able to stay in the game throughout the contest. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="135053" first="Miranda" last="Peters"] - 5’11 F - 2020 - Marquette Catholic</strong> Peters was unstoppable even though she was battling foul trouble the entire game. She finished the game with 18 points and 17 rebounds as she was a key offensive player in the win. She was getting to the rim and finishing with her length. Marquette Catholic was great on the glass and Peters was a huge part of that. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="133957" first="Tori" last="Michel"] - 6’ C - 2020 - Marquette Catholic</strong> Michel struggled early on but got going as she was able to score it on almost every single post touch in the second half. She finished the game with 19 points and added 12 rebounds as well. She had five blocks in the game as she held down the paint on the inside. Michel was a steady piece for Marquette Catholic as they took the win.
