6A Impact Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This year, the 6A schools are loaded with talent throughout their rosters. There are so many top prospects that I can't name them all. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Here, I take a look at a few that will have successful seasons as they look to contend for state titles.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='203873' first='Shay' last='Ijiwoye']<strong> Desert Vista</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The<strong> Stanford</strong> signee is the top player in the state this season. She looks to lead her Thunder Squad to a repeat of last season, in which they won the inaugural Open Division championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='205639' first='Sarah' last='Nakamura Miller']<strong> Xavier</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Back healthy, Miller looks to remind people of just how good she is. Could this be the year for the <strong>Penn</strong> signee and her Gator teammates to get over the hump?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='589986' first='Isabella' last='Ivy'] <strong>Perry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ivy is the engine that makes the Pumas go. She will miss some of her weapons to start the season due to injuries and transfer sitting but don't count Ivy and her Perry teammates out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='558895' first='Heather' last='Stedman'] <strong>Pinnacle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stedman game has steadily grown, and she is primed to help lead the Pioneers to a successful season. Everyone knows she can score, but it's how efficiently she's been doing it as of recently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='205640' first='Jocelyn' last='Michelle Chavez'] <strong>Valley Vista</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If the Monsoon are to make a run at another championship, Chavez will lead the way. The <strong>Rider </strong>signee is among the best passers in the state and can score with the best of them. She has the championship experience to lead Valley on a long run this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='205665' first='Ahdiayh' last='Chee'] <strong>Dobson (Featured Image)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chee has the leadership qualities to help take the Mustangs a long way this season. She will be relied on to score as usual, but she will also need to help lift up some of the younger players in order for Dobson to be successful. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
