Game Forum: Boca Raton @ Cardinal Gibbons

I headed over to Fort Lauderdale for a good matchup between Boca Raton (6-3) and Cardinal Gibbons (6-2). The Chiefs would go on to defeat the Bobcats, 68-43. Let’s look into some standouts... [player_tooltip player_id="363903" first="Konstantina" last="Mantziori"] - Cardinal Gibbons I thought 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="363903" first="Konstantina" last="Mantziori"] was the best player on the court. The 5-foot-6 point guard scored 13 points and set up her teammates with multiple open looks. Specifically, Mantziori connected with 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="248419" first="Chloe" last="Celler"] on a pair of 3-pointers off dribble penetration. She also found 2023’s <strong>Taylor Williams </strong>and [player_tooltip player_id="352563" first="Brooke" last="Buckman"] for assists. Mantziori consistently attacked the rim with little resistance. She has a ton of ball skill (ball fake/jab step) in these situations. Her handle is also strong in transition. Cardinal Gibbons is a good team with her running the point. Mantziori has a bright future at the position. Stefania Markel - Boca Raton 2024 Stefania Markel finished with a game-high 18 points in the loss. The 5-foot-8 guard was very active around the rim. In addition, Markel did a good job as an offensive rebounder. Overall, she grabbed ten boards on the night. Markel's activity was especially strong in the first half. Per information, she is averaging 10.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. [player_tooltip player_id="221698" first="Courtney" last="Lowe"] - Boca Raton 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="221698" first="Courtney" last="Lowe"] finished with 15 points and six rebounds. The 5-foot-6 guard can put the ball on the floor and has some range. Lowe has hit 18 3-pointers on the season. Overall, she has enough athleticism to be a three-level scorer. Per information, she is averaging 15.8 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game. [player_tooltip player_id="352563" first="Brooke" last="Buckman"] - Cardinal Gibbons 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="352563" first="Brooke" last="Buckman"] finished with 16 points and was strong near the glass. The 5-foot-11 forward used her size and length to score around the key. I thought Buckman’s jumper was working throughout the game. She gave Cardinal Gibbons a big lift on the offensive end. [player_tooltip player_id="248419" first="Chloe" last="Celler"] - Cardinal Gibbons 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="248419" first="Chloe" last="Celler"] finished with 17 points and knocked down a pair of 3-pointers. The 5-foot-9 shooting guard did a nice job attacking the rim off the wing. Celler can put the ball on the floor and finish. She plays with a lot of toughness and has range from beyond the arc. Celler is committed to <strong>Brandeis</strong>. <strong><em>For any South Florida Prep Girls Hoops news or information...please follow Michael Costeines @Steins_23 on Instagram or follow him on Twitter @Mungertown_Mike23.</em></strong>
