2022: 4A Playoff X Factors

From key players to x-factors, here is a list of players that could play a key role in their team going far into the playoffs: <span style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="223392" first="Taylee" last="Hatton"] - The forward for Clearwater Indians is an X factor for them. After recently signing her letter of intent with Neosho Community College, she has made a huge impact on her team hitting 5 3s in one game making it a season-high for her. With her high IQ and ability to stretch the floor, she could help her team be a huge threat going down the stretch.</span> [player_tooltip player_id="349450" first="Valerie" last="Norwood"] - The freshman is averaging 10.5ppg, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game, she has played a huge role in Wellington’s success this season. She recently just broke the school record for the most assists in a game. One of the most unselfish players in the state, but can go get her shot during the process. She is an excellent defender that carries her momentum to the offensive side. She will be a problem for years to come in this league. [player_tooltip player_id="223389" first="Nevaeh" last="Green"] - The senior at Winfield will be needed in order for her team to make a deep run in the playoffs. With her size and presence, she helps her team get a lot of stops on the defensive end helping her team get out in transition to score on the other end. Neveah has the ability to block shots and even do a great job at contesting at the rim forcing teams to shoot jumpers and make them uncomfortable. <strong>Teagan Garrison</strong> - The sophomore at Mulvane high school plays a part in what they have going on for the wildcats. With a young roster, Teagan has stepped up huge this season for her team when they have needed her most. Flying under the radar a bit, she knocks down key jumpers down the stretch and can get to the rim when they need her the most. Look for her to make plays when Mulvane is looking to make a run against opposing teams. A guard that can shoot it, finish around the rim, and can put the ball on the floor. [player_tooltip player_id="294818" first="Ella" last="Puckett"] - Ella, who just set a Augusta school record for most made 3s in one game, making 10 of them in the win against collegiate will need to keep up the hot shooting going into playoffs. Ella has the ability to light it up on any given night whether it’s off the catch or off the bounce. With the regular season winding down and playoffs around the corner, teams won’t forget to make sure they have the scouting report on Ella.
