In this contest she scored 26 despite being in foul trouble the entire game. She can get the rebound and go coast to coast. She has excellent speed with the ball in open court and can easily absorb contact once she gets in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='205664' first='Ava' last='Adams'] <strong>North Canyon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior guard did all that she could to keep her team in the game. On offense, she showed the ability to draw the opposing defense and get her teammates open looks. She did this while also being aggressive in looking for her own shot. On defense, she has quick hands and excellent instincts, which leads to a lot of steals. She is among the steal leaders in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='836784' first='Niya' last='Gamble'] <strong>McClintock</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshman showed a lot of potential.
