Martin’s Mill (28-5) @martinsmillhs
Jada Celsur Jada Celsur 5'7" | CG Martin's Mill | 2022 State TX -5’7 G junior @jadacelsur
Celsur led all scorers with 21 points and she scored in a variety of ways, she showed she could drop the long ball, she showed she could attack and she a knack for getting steals, including a couple of back-to-backs that led to layups. She sees the floor, made some solid decisions under pressure
Kylee Lookabaugh-5’10 C junior
Lookabaugh plays even bigger than her listed height, much of that because she understands positioning and much because of desire as she rebounded well on both ends. She also did a good finishing as well as hit the long ball
Libby Rogers-5’7 G junior
Rogers created her shot under pressure but she also followed her shot as I kept rewinding the video because that is a “lost art” I’m assuming isn’t being taught yet she was solid on taking defenders off the dribble as well as knocking down the midrange
Lipan (30-3) @ladyNDNhoops
Maggie Peacock Maggie Peacock 6'0" | C Lipan | 2021 State TX -6’0 C senior
Peacock, not sure if she had a double-double, I know she scored 10 points but her inside presence definitely played a huge part in their victory. She has nice moves in the paint, good hands, and footwork, keeps the ball high, and finishes strongly but she showed me a turnaround in the paint that was very impressive, oh yeah, she blocks shots
Chelsea Lott Chelsea Lott 5'9" | SG Lipan | 2023 State TX -5’9 G/F sophomore @chelsea12lott
Lott was the MVP of the game and guess what, she showed me she could score a whole LOTT of ways, either off the dribble with a deceptive first step or just attacking strongly, in the open court but she also showed she could shot the mid to long-range but she mixed it up early dropping 12 of her 18 in the first half
Taylor Branson Taylor Branson 5'3" | PG Lipan | 2024 State TX -5’3 G freshman @TaylorBranson01
Branson only scored 6 points but she did enough to show me she could play and her “poise under pressure” stood out early because she handled it with ease. Well she handles the ball with ease too and showed she could create her shot and get it off when she wanted
