In what was a drought of a game, Arizona Elite Prep took this one in somewhat of a convincing fashion in a 38-25 victory over Clutch Rose, however, the true grit and bone of players were certainly revealed in a stalemate of a match. Charlotte Richman Charlotte Richman 5'7" | PG Wilson | 2022 State OR , wearing the number 7 instead of her usual 20, was instantly recognizable with her uncanny ability to score alongside the arc as well as manage a game with a calm demeanor.
Madison Naro Madison Naro 5'7" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR was another consistent floor general as she made plays time and time again throughout the entirety of the contest. The biggest surprise was perhaps Sarah Lamet Sarah Lamet 6'3" | C Tigard | 2022 State OR who came in strides throughout the game to help relieve Lainey Spear Lainey Spear 6'2" | PF Beaverton | 2023 State OR and instantly provided an inside threat that was difficult to stop as she connected on her first three field goals for Clutch Rose. Although this was an incredibly low-scoring match for Clutch Rose, we were able to see what they were made out of in difficult circumstances when options were running low.
Zoe Borter Zoe Borter 6'0" | SG Beaverton | 2023 State OR 2023 6’0” SG Clutch Rose/Beaverton HS – Borter provided as a tough and determined scorer with the solid frame to match as she had a tough lay-up despite physical defense and managed to make it despite the no call. Zoe contributed a 5 point, 2 rebound effort as a versatile scorer with upside due to her ability to make some tough shots based on grit and determination.
Sarah Lamet Sarah Lamet 6'3" | C Tigard | 2022 State OR 2022 6’4” C Clutch Rose/Tigard HS – Lamet stuck to the basics and fundamentals in her offensive approach to the game and quickly found out that Arizona Elite Prep had little to no answer for her. Although her low-post scoring technique is very straightforward, it was difficult to stop as her 6’4” frame allowed her to gracefully put the ball in the basket over her opposition – and with some great touch around the block. Her 6 point, 2 rebound effort off the bench was a huge contribution for her club.
Madison Naro Madison Naro 5'7" | PG Beaverton | 2023 State OR 2023 5’8” PG Clutch Rose/Beaverton HS – Naro helped orchestrate the team and contributed without scoring a single point, which speaks volumes about her selfless game. The Beaverton point guard plays a similar role on her high school team, where she is asked to run and manage a team while involving every single piece on the chessboard. Naro contributed 4 rebounds and 4 assists and looked every bit comfortable out there against Arizona Elite Prep.
Lainey Spear Lainey Spear 6'2" | PF Beaverton | 2023 State OR 2023 6’2’ PF Clutch Rose/Beaverton HS – Lainey was challenged with an Arizona Elite Prep squad more than athletic and skilled as she provided some moments of contribution as a defender with size and length. Despite the circumstances, she showed promise as an interior scorer and rebounder willing to battle inside as she had a 4 point, 4 rebound effort for Arizona Elite Prep.
Charlotte Richman Charlotte Richman 5'7" | PG Wilson | 2022 State OR 2022 5’7” SG Clutch Rose/Wilson HS – Richman provided some tough sequences for Clutch Rose as this isn’t the first time she was put up against formidable competition and she answered in a decisive manner. The ability to run an offense despite hounding defense, find players in stride, and also shoot it from deep were consistencies from the disciplined guard. Richman contributed a solid 8 points, 4 rebound, and 3 assists as a key contributor against a more than worthy foe.
