<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Thursday, February 23rd I attended the Final-4 OPEN Playoffs at Mountain Pointe HS with the #4 <strong>Xavier Prep Gators</strong> versus the #1 <strong>Desert Vista Thunder.&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Desert Vista won <strong>78-61</strong> in coast to coast fashion versus a very talented Xavier Prep team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Here were some of the standouts from the Final-4 OPEN playoff game</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='558892' first='Jerzy' last='Robinson'] Desert Vista</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top players in the class and in the AIA. She has an impressive physique and tries getting downhill using her build and tight handle. She scores it a variety of ways with step backs off the dribble, crossovers into a three, alley-oops, put backs and she can create any shot she wants. She knows how to change speeds and then blow by and will score easily thru contact. She scored 32 points with 14 rebounds including 10-10 from the charity stripe.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='203873' first='Shay' last='Ijiwoye'] Desert Vista</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A powerfully built point guard has incredible speed. She is a legit running back type getting down the lane and she doesn't miss many contested shots either. She can pull-up off dribble and takes long strides to go along with her speed. She has advanced court vision and is highly competitive.&nbsp;She scored 12 points with multiple assists.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='205646' first='Eanae' last='Dagons'] Desert Vista</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fast on fast scoring lead guard is a true ball hawk. She has impressive open court speed and runs past her opponents in transition often. She has next level lateral quickness with a strong upper body and a motor to defend. She has a nice floater game, she can hit the catch three and is tough to score thru contact despite her size. She had 18 points with around five steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='339069' first='Michaela' last='Fairwell'] Desert Vista</strong> <strong>(Pictured) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and fluid guard moves quickly up the court. She is a plus rebounder for her size and can defend multiple positions. She has a nice crossover to create real separation from her defender and can hit the catch three. She has very quick hands to steal the ball, she can find teammates for assists and is very tough in transition.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='588763' first='Dylan' last='Swindle'] Desert Vista</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled combo guard showed her play-making abilities and handles ball pressure well. She can rebound inside and get to the paint. She moves the ball and finds her spots to score.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='205655' first='Madison' last='Brown'] Desert Vista</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A face-up forward runs the court well, defends multiple positions and has a live body. She rebounds in and out of her area and can step out to the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='588731' first='Irene' last='Noelle Guiamatsia'] Xavier Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long freshman post player moves really well. She is a defensive nightmare to block or alter shots in and out of her area. She attacks the ball at its highest point to rebound and can close out to shooters impressively. She has great hands to catch passes and gobbles up rebounds. She is good off the pick and roll game and she is one of the best in the class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='205638' first='Dominique' last='Nesland'] Xavier Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed guard who uses her body and changes speeds to get into the lane. She is a very confident scorer and can pull-up from mid-range, use the floater, has deep three point range and has a deceptively quick crossover to get past her defenders. She scored 18 points.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='205647' first='Maureen' last='Ulrich'] Xavier Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tough scoring wing brings her hard hat to the game. She has very long arms she uses to rebound and smartly moves without the ball. She can get downhill to score with reverse layups and contested shots in traffic. She rebounds at a good clip and scored 14 points with one three made.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='205668' first='Jasmine' last='Olivar'] Xavier Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sharp shooter of the team is definitely Olivar. She has picture perfect form on her three point shot and she rattled in four triples. She brings toughness and shows a big understanding of the game. She can blow by her defenders and use the pull-up off the dribble from mid-range. She showed high effort on the ball defensively and scored a team high 20 points.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='115507' first='Sienna' last='Cherwinski'] Xavier Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly skilled scoring lead guard has pretty form on her jumpers. She is a very good passer and made one beautiful pass into the post. She hustles on defense to collect steals and she should score the ball at <strong>Sonoma State</strong>.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

On Thursday, February 23rd I attended the Final-4 OPEN Playoffs at Mountain Pointe HS with the #4 Xavier Prep Gators versus the #1 Desert Vista Thunder.
