In the tournament, she averaged 19.7 points on 50% shooting and 39% shooting from 3, to go along with 7.3 rebounds and the tournament-high 2.7 blocks per game. She led the RedHawks to a third place finish in the state, playing an excellent final game with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 assist, and 1 steal in the win over Redmond. With her leading the way and a large group of young talent returning, South Albany will be one of the teams to beat over the next several years.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["255261"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Despite a season full of change, [player_tooltip player_id='255261' first='Danaeja' last='Romero Ah-Sam'] and Springfield closed out the season with two wins and a fourth place finish in the state.
