After a slow start, McCabe scored 21 of her game high 24 points in the last three quarter, including a 10 point third quarter to help separate the Tigers from the Links. The Iowa commit’s hustle and energy stands out on the floor and is contagious for her team. She displayed the full range of her game by driving, rebounding and draining three’s in the second half of their win. Another great game for the Gatorade player of the year.

[player_tooltip player_id="277763" first="Khloe" last="Lemon"] | Millard South | Jr | Guard/Forward
With stars [player_tooltip player_id="277761" first="Mya" last="Babbitt"] and [player_tooltip player_id="277760" first="Cora" last="Olsen"] struggling, Lemon stepped up scoring 22 points. The Patriots fell behind early, but Lemon stepped up to score 13 in the second half to try and keep them within striking distance. Lemon got into the lane and created opportunities for herself in the paint. She showed she was not afraid of contact and got the charity stripe six times during the game. Lemon will be an integral part of Millard South’s run for next year.

[player_tooltip player_id="276503" first="Britt" last="Prince"] | Elkhorn North | So | Guard
Prince showed why she is the top prospect in the state, with interest from Creighton and North Carolina. She scored 29 points, 17 at the free throw line, as her relentless attack of the rim overwhelmed Norris. Prince leads the state in scoring average but has evolved her game to be able to get more involved with her passing and her strength to help with rebounding. Prince is the most well rounded player in the state who can score at will.

[player_tooltip player_id="276836" first="Grace" last="Thompson"] | Elkhorn North | Jr | Guard
Thompson established the tone early for the Wolves. Her hustle around the rim and mid range game allowed her to score 12 of 20 first quarter points, on her way to a 21 point day. Thompson and Prince combined for 50 of Elkhorn North’s 68 points on the day and were provide tons of energy for their team. Only a junior, Thompson should get plenty of opportunities in the future as teams will need to double Prince in defensive sets. She could be setting up for a big senior year.
