<p>[player_tooltip player_id='158567' first='Lainey' last='Spear'] 2023 6'2” PF - The reigning Metro League Player of the Year is poised for another successful season. As one of the state's most dominant, all-around athletes, Spear serves as a true threat to any opposing team this season. With a combination of high-class strength, agility and a fierce competitive nature, Spear is a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='158564' first='Zoe' last='Borter'] 2023 6'0” SG - Alongside Spear, Borter made the beavers' have a brutal one-two punch as she played a key role in the Beavers 6A championship last season. Borter's size and strength allow her to have a large presence both in the paint and on the perimeter. Aside from that, she's also a strong rebounder.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='158544' first='Emma' last='Sixta'] 2023 5'10” SG - Sixta has been an offensive-juggernaut for the Crusaders in her time in the green and white, averaging 14.1 points per game, three rebounds and 2.8 assists.

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='211119' first='Avery' last='Edwards'] 2023 5'10'' SG - No matter where the ball is on the court, it always seems to find the hands of Edwards. She has a knack for finishing, wether that is via her teammates feeding her the ball on fast breaks, or it is her driving to the rim herself. </p>

<p><strong>Sunset HS</strong></p>
