The All-State Guard (2nd Team 2022) is a three-level scorer who excels in the midrange. Last season (22-23), Love was limited due to an ankle injury, missing roughly 1/4 of the Bears games. Despite the time missed, Love still averaged 10.1 PPG, 6.2 RPG &amp; 2.1 APG in 22 GP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='357694' first='Yvanna' last='Villareal'], a 2024 CG from Organ Mountain, has committed to <strong><em>Western New Mexico University.</em></strong> A DII program located in Silver City, New Mexico, and member of the <strong><em>Lone Star Conference.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/yvannaVv/status/1709992072919617954","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true,"align":"center"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/yvannaVv/status/1709992072919617954 </div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Announcement from Villareal via her "X" page formerly known as "Twitter".</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Villareal, the No. 15 ranked player overall &amp; No. 4 CG in her Class, is a physical player who likes to slash her way to the basket. Excellent at protecting the ball, shielding defenders - uses the body - which leads to fouls drawn and free-throw attempts. As a Junior, Villarreal averaged 11.2 PPG &amp; 1.8 APG in 27 GP for the Lady Knights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
