<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've often heard that defenses win championships....but I've still yet to see a win a game 0-0. Ultimately, you it's a "make or miss game," and I you have to hit shots to win. Let's look at the best senior scorers in the state!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["245357"],"_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":"Reed has one of the those old-school stat lines where it's obvious where she does her damageu002du002din the paint.  Currently averaging 16 points a game on 52% from the field, she's risen past last year's numbers (last year she averaged 16 points on 47% shooting) often fighting through doubles or digs.  Only shot 12 threes all year, but still finds multiple ways to help her teamu002du002dproven by the fact she shot 92 FTs on 67%.

has that type of game that's fun to watch because you know what's coming, but you just can't stop it.  Poole is an elite finisher around the rim, shooting 50% averaging 15.6pts while only hitting 13

simpleu002du002dsetup your teammates and hit open jumpers when they find you.  She hit 57 FTs last year which is ok, but not a great number.  Her primary role was to knock down open jumper or attack a

post to hit 93 FTs she's gifted drawing contact.  And, she only hit 62% of her FTs.  She raises that number up and she can easily be averaging 14-15 next
