We continue to take a look at some outstanding performances across the playoff picture. Lainey Sper and [player_tooltip player_id='158564' first='Zoe' last='Borter'] are quite the tandem at the forward position for the Beaverton Beavers. Lizzie Bennett has a steady hand at the position for the Titans. [player_tooltip player_id='502352' first='Emma' last='Zuniga'] is a developing freshman with poise for West Salem and [player_tooltip player_id='255256' first='Mahogany' last='Chandler-Roberts'] is match-up terror for Benson Tech.   [player_tooltip player_id='158567' first='Lainey' last='Spear'] 2023 6'2" PF Beaverton HS - Spear was a match-up nightmare for the Pacers, as she scored 16 points in an ensemble of impressive moves around the basket. She has the length and agility to score at will inside, as well as the fluidity and impressive body contortions at the basket.   [player_tooltip player_id='158564' first='Zoe' last='Borter'] 2023 6'0" SF Beaverton HS - Borter had a game high 23 points as she was the clear difference maker in the match. She let loose in the second half, rebounding and scoring with tenacity. In a game where offense was much needed, Borter let the flood gates open.    Lizzie Bennett 2023 5'11" SG West Salem HS - the swiss army knife had a superb game as her efforts ultimately helped West Salem move into the Elite Eight into the Chiles Center. Fundamentally sound forward who contributed 15 points and 8 rebounds for the Titans. One of the top remaining unsigned seniors.   [player_tooltip player_id='502352' first='Emma' last='Zuniga'] 2026 5'11" PF West Salem HS - Zuniga had a huge double-double that helped West Salem move past Grants Pass. Zuniga is an efficient and work-steady forward who had tremendous poise and moves inside the post - thanks to her footwork and aggressiveness.   [player_tooltip player_id='255256' first='Mahogany' last='Chandler-Roberts'] 2024 6'2" PF Benson HS - Although Chandler-Robert was limited to 8 points, she put up a steady fight against a physical Barlow team who did everything to try to put a lid on her. Mahogany is a force of nature who has the attitude of a bull but the grace of a gazelle.
