Takeaways from Rumble in the Valley- Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#25 Kimmy Petty, Logan Elm H.S.: </strong>She is a facilitator! I like how she paces the game, takes care of the basketball, and has the speed and motor to pass opponents on fast breaks. Nice outside shot. (Featured Photo)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":692648,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/IMG_7408.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-692648" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#15 Gillian Savage, Logan Elm H.S.: </strong>Takes care of the basketball, no problem shooting behind the arc.
