Auspicious Senior Small Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='95217' first='Maddie' last='Groth'] - Highlands Ranch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6' tall, Groth could be a versatile defender for Highlands Ranch. She possesses a quality blend of quick foot and hip speeds which allow her to maintain positioning with quicker opponents. Following the departure of Alex Pirog, Groth will have a larger impact on the glass with this group. This past season, the forward posted 4.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Groth will be back with a talented Highlands Ranch group, returning from a successful 21-5 season and final four appearance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='145426' first='Torrai' last='Logan'] - Sierra</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Logan was dominant this prior season with Sierra, posting 15.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.6 through 24 games. The wing has consistently been a volume shooter with Sierra, posting a career high 31% from the three point line. Logan has continued to improve her efficiency year after year, although this season will be a test with a bigger role. Given the departures of seniors Aalyviah Smith and Jaziah Wells, Logan will have ample opportunities to increase her volume and usage rate. Logan will be in good position this season, following a very competitive 13-11 record with Sierra. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261807' first='Raelyn' last='Kelty'] - Lutheran</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelty will be primed for a disruptive season, previously leading the team in multiple statistical categories. This past season with Lutheran, Kelty contributed 12 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 2.6 steals per game on a consistent 37% from beyond the arc. She stays aggressive getting into the paint, showing no fear against bigger opponents. One area worth noting will be how her shot diet will adapt on the new season for an 18-6 Lutheran group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='318880' first='Autumn' last='Rivera'] - Summit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rivera will be a valuable forward for Summit, already dominant as an rebounder while showing improvements as a shooter. Standing at 5'10, the small forward posted 14.6 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Rivera has showcased growing confidence as a spot up shooter within the mid-range, even taking a few pull ups in transition situations. Given her confidence from 14 feet out, it will be worth tracking her progression getting that range out beyond the arc. The forward likes to push the pace after securing rebounds and has been assertive pushing the ball up through outlet passes. Rivera has proven herself a dependable ballhandler within the fullcourt, an area that could open up her live dribble playmaking. Summit has proven themselves a talented group with Rivera at the helm, posting a 16-9 record last season with her leading the team in scoring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='329410' first='Allison' last='Leisher'] - Coronado</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leisher has continued to establish herself as a the top athlete on Coronado's team. This past season, she posted 10.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while knocking down 36% of her three point attempts. Leisher has been especially dependable in the full court, often the first one down the floor. At roughly 6' tall, Leisher is taller than the majority of her opponents, allowing her to finish above contests. Following a competitive 12-13 season, Coronado looks to regroup again this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
