<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='611338' first='Nia' last='Green'], Hammond, 2024, Guard</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>A six-foot point guard with tremendous vision and ball handling, Nia was a match-up problem for every team she faced. In the championship game she recorded 14 points, 11 assists, 5 steals, 6 rebounds and a block. She impacted the game in so many ways it was tough for FSK to keep up. </p>

<p><strong>Asia Mitchell, Hammond, 2024, Forward</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An athletic, lefty six-footer with hops, Asia was the difference in the championship game. She went for 16 points and 12 rebounds while shooting 8 for 9 from the floor. She suffered a knee injury but came back in a few minutes later and sparked the team again with her all around play. She gave FSK fits on the glass with her instincts and non-stop motor. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='616551' first='Sara' last='Yarnell'], Hammond, 2025, Forward</strong></p>

<p>Sara chipped in 14 points and 7 rebounds with two timely three-pointers that helped Hammond pull away in what was a close game. She battled inside, giving the Bears another rebounder and defender. </p>

<p><strong>Kensi Bancroft, Francis Scott Key, 2025, Forward</strong></p>

<p>Kensi provided her usual toughness and activity on defense despite dealing with foul trouble. She finished the game with 12 points and 3 boards. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Drew Watkins, Francis Scott Key, 2024, Guard</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Drew is a baller and the ultimate competitor, so she went down with a fight. She had 13 points, 3 steals, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.</p>
