<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week, I covered the <strong>Lady Badger Winter Classic</strong> held at Prescott High School. The tournament featured 16 teams from around the state, representing the 4A to 6A divisions. Participating teams included Highland, Mountain Ridge, Cibola, Mesa Mountain View, Tucson, Mountain Pointe, Paradise Valley, Thunderbird, Mingus, Centennial, Arcadia, Coconino, Bradshaw Mountain, Lee Williams, Kellis, and the host team Prescott.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The tournament showcased a mix of familiar and new faces, with numerous closely contested games and situations that will prove beneficial as each team heads into region play. Ultimately, the competition narrowed down to two formidable teams, Cibola and Kellis, both boasting talented rosters combining youth and star power. In a hard-fought battle, Kellis emerged victorious in this matchup with a final score of 55-47. Meanwhile, in the consolation game, Highland secured a third-place finish by defeating Prescott.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='660218' first='Shanielle' last='Mallory'] of Kellis took home Tournament MVP honors, leading her Cougar team to an undefeated record throughout the tournament. Additionally, Prescott's <strong>Addie Prisciandaro</strong> claimed the “Hot Shot Competition” title, scoring an impressive 37 points in 90 seconds and hitting 9 consecutive 3-pointers at one juncture.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["830777"],"_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":"There is no position [player_tooltip player_id='830777' first='Madilyn' last='Gewirtz'] cannot play, and she excels in each one. Standing at nearly 6'0u0022 tall, with a long and athletic frame, Madilyn possesses the ability to play and defend all five positions on the court. She demonstrates a high basketball IQ, subtly sliding into undefended scoring areas and delivering timely, well-executed passes to her teammates. Madilyn exhibits an above-average jump shot from beyond the 3-point line, is highly proficient at attacking the basket off the dribble, and excels in rebounding-and-running in the open court. Additionally, Madilyn is highly competitive and willingly takes on the challenge of guarding the opposing team's best players.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["830790"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Mariana Vega is an absolute coach's delight, a tireless worker who competes on every possession at both ends of the floor. Marianna brings physicality to her game most opponents can't match, while playing with a relentless motor in attacking the offensive and defensive glass. She is the consummate team player who does not necessarily need plays or sets run for her but will absolutely find a way to greatly impact each game by running the floor, defending, and rebounding the ball. Mariana is also very capable of hitting from 15 feet as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":830378,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Avianna Scharfenberger","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Coconino","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Avianna plays the game at her speed at all times.

Utilizing her size effectively, Avianna excels in hitting the glass and showcases the ability to rebound-and-run, applying instant pressure on defenses.
