Division II Final Four Second Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had a chance to watch Goodrich, Frankenmuth, Lansing Catholic, and West Catholic battle it out in the State Semi-Finals. The level of play was crazy high. There were gutsy performances and clutch shots galore. I would highly encourage anyone that loves basketball to make it to Breslin for these games- you will get more than your money's worth. Below are the five kids that I thought more than represented their town, their school, and the sport with skill and toughness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335974"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Tess had to get Sixth Woman of the Final Four. She started early in the year when I watched but moved to the bench. She is an example of making the most of your time and completely changed the game. She didn't put up a ton of points, but she was a catalyst on offense by finding open players for several assists and picked up some nice offensive rebounds and play saving hustle plays. Somehow, she even got a block on a taller player. Great game by a great kid.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-641742333befb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["188585"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Lansing Catholic did everything that they could to make Cadence's life difficult, and the kid still balled out. Getting dribble penetration on a 1-3-1 is not the easiest thing to do, but Cadence used speed and slick handles to weave into spots to draw fouls and set up her teammates. She is one of the highest ranked kids in the state and showed that the ranking was justified. She plays great defense as well.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-641742333bf57"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lexi Boike","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Frankenmuth","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"She was double teamed all night long, shoot all season long.
