<p>E must be in the conversations for all classes defensive player of the year the way she pressures the ball. She has great lateral quickness and active hands that disrupts most that she guards. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='205664' first='Ava' last='Adams'] <strong>North Canyon</strong></p>

<p>Adams uses her low center of gravity and instincts to pressure ball handlers. She has been among the steal leaders in the state for the last few seasons and has had multiple triple doubles with steals. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='263401' first='Torah' last='Dial'] <strong>Dysart</strong></p>

<p>Dial is a guard that plays tough defense and takes pride in it. She will bother the person she guards until they give up and pass the ball. She also plays the passing lanes very well. <br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='850090' first='Bri'Ann' last='Felix'] <strong>Copper Canyon</strong></p>
