In the championship game, Mercer defeated host Meadville in a battle of two teams that are in the Class 1 Top 10 rankings. Tina-Avalon defeated Linn County in an exciting third-place game. [player_tooltip player_id="162384" first="Tori" last="Meinecke"] (Mercer): The 6'0" 2022 was the best player in the tournament as she led Mercer to the championship. She scored 21 points in the championship game against Meadville. She can dominate in the post, but she also handles the ball and passes well out of double teams. She is also a fluid player who runs the court very well in transition. Korrie Holcer (Meadville): A 5'4" 2024 who led the host school to a berth in the championship game. She has good quickness and she can break down defenders off the dribble very well. She can create off the dribble and hit the 3-point shot. She also set up her teammates with some nice passes. On defense, she has the ability to strip opposing players with her ball hawking. [player_tooltip player_id="170387" first="Kadie" last="Rounkles"] (Tina-Avalon): A 2023 forward who scored a game-high 26 points in the third-place game against Linn County. She is a bucket-getter around the basket as she scored 42 in an earlier game this season. She has good moves inside and she uses the backboard very well. She also has a nice one to two dribble move from the high post to get to the basket. She also had a good defensive presence inside. Maddie Fisher (Mercer): A 2024 wing who has good height and length on the perimeter at about 5'10" and she utilizes it well. She can hit the open 3-pointer, plus she has a good ball fake to set up her drives to the basket. She has good fundamentals. She scored nine points in the championship game against Meadville. Maggie McClain (Meadville): A 5'5" 2022 guard who scored 12 points in the championship game against Mercer. She was very effective when driving to the basket and she also hit a Corner 3.

Morgan Livingston (Linn County): A 2023 guard who scored a team-high 20 points in the third-place game against Tina-Avalon. I was very impressed with her ability to handle the ball and shoot it from 3-point distance. Alyssa Bukavoc (Linn County): A 2023 guard who scored 18 points in the third-place game against Tina-Avalon. She was very good at scoring in traffic around the basket.
