<p>Silent performers in girls basketball are those who excel without drawing much attention. They aren't necessarily the leading scorers or the ones making the game-winning shots. Instead, they contribute in ways that are less glamorous but equally crucial. Their impact is often measured in assists, steals, rebounds, and relentless defensive efforts. These girls did just that.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='771622' first='Morgan' last='Armbruster']- Morgan has built a reputation as a dynamic and well-rounded basketball player, excelling on both ends of the floor. Known for her ability to rebound the ball on the defensive glass and finish through traffic, ArmBruster's game is a shooter with range above all else.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='817014' first='Jenna' last='Schmeidler']- Jenna's ball-handling is on another level. Her ability to manipulate the basketball with precision and speed allows her to break down defenders with ease. She has a quick handle that gives her complete control of the game, weaving through defenders with swift crossovers, hesitations, and behind-the-back moves. Watching her work with the ball in her hands is like watching a seasoned artist at their craft. Each dribble is calculated, every move purposeful, and her footwork complements her handle, allowing her to glide past defenders or create space for a shot in an instant.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='935296' first='Maelie' last='Nelson']- One of Maelie's greatest strengths is her off-the-ball movement. Her ability to cut hard, time after time, forces the defense to collapse and adjust. Maelie knows that sometimes the most important play is the one that doesn't end with her taking the shot. Instead, she'll drag her defender out of position or set a perfect pick, allowing her teammates to find open lanes or shots. It's selfless basketball, and it's what makes her such an invaluable piece of the puzzle.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='349795' first='Paige' last='Corter']- One of the most crucial elements of post-play is establishing your position before the ball arrives. The sooner you get into your spot, the better the chance you have of receiving a pass and creating a scoring opportunity. Use your body to seal off your defender and create space near the basket. Paige makes sure she does this consistently which earned her a scholarship to McPherson college. </p>
