5A State Championship Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After catching <strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">Monterrey defeat Amarillo</mark></strong> in a<strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/02/5a-5ot-thrillaaaaa-highlights-tuesday/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 5 OT THRILLLLLLAAAAA,</a></strong> I was sold on those being the 2 best teams in<strong> 5A</strong> yet the season is broken down, by me, into 3 segments, preseason, district, and the playoffs and in a one-game playoff, anything can happen</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">Frisco Liberty</mark></strong> was <strong>NOT</strong> the same team I caught at the<strong> Sandra Meadows Classic</strong>, <strong>Texas #1 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='510461' first='Jacy' last='Abii'] </strong>wasn't 100% yet this time around, she was that and more as she helped make the difference<strong>,</strong> and here are the <strong>TOP PERFORMERS</strong> I saw in the <strong>CHAMPIONSHIP</strong> game, below that is the <strong>ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='158867' first='Keyera' last='Roseby']-5'11 G/F (Frisco Liberty) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roseby has improved at every level since I caught her back in middle school and she showed out at the Sandra Meadows Classic showing deeper range and being able to create her shot under pressure however her ability to take a game over was on full display, on center stage, and the pull-up jumper from mid to long range, she dropped 3 from deep on her way to 21 points yet she also 6/7 from the line and she was just shy of a double-double, pulling down 8 rebounds </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='267347' first='Journee' last='Harris-Chambers']-5'4 PG (Frisco Liberty) 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris controlled the tempo by handling the ball under pressure as well as seeing the floor, she dished out 5 assists yet her intensity, on both ends created some problems. She applied pressure "on the ball" baseline to baseline and hit some big shots including a 3 in the 3rd quarter which helped change the momentum </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='510461' first='Jacy' last='Abii']-6'1 G/F (Frisco Liberty) 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abii is sending messages left and right as her ability to play multiple positions, quite well, is making her even harder to handle. She scored around the basket, she scored off the dribble as well as from outside, and her 15 points in a variety of ways spoke volumes yet her handling the ball in the open court as well as coast to coast after rebounding and seeing the floor were all nice but her "playing the passing lane" JUST DID IT for me as she added 4 steals </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carissa Cortez-5'3 G (Lubbock Cooper) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cortez attacks the basket well and her shiftiness with the ball enabled her to get by defenders with ease. She has good body control on her finishes but she also created her shot and knocked it down from outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Majik Esquivel-5'8 G (Lubbock Cooper) 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Esquivel not only created her shot under pressure, but she also got it off with a hand in her face. She dropped 4 from BTA yet she also showed she could "catch and shoot" and her quick release was nice but she also did a good job defending and came away with 3 steals. She does a good job running her squad and her court vision, 5 assists, was more than solid but she definitely steps up under pressure </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>5A Girls Basketball - 2022-2023 ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='158867' first='Keyera' last='Roseby'] - Frisco Liberty - Junior - 5-11 - Guard MVP</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='510461' first='Jacy' last='Abii'] - Frisco Liberty - Freshman - 6-1 - Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carisa Cortez - Lubbock Cooper - Junior - 5-3 - Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Majik Esquivel - Lubbock Cooper - Junior - 5-8 - Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sahvani Sancho - San Antonio Wagner - Senior - 5-10 - Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
