<p class="text-gray-700">Emma has nice size and length on the court, being able to play a variety of positions for her squad. She provides energy to her team on both ends, bringing a big spark for her teammates. She plays elite defense and isn't scared to guard anyone in the entire state. She has showcased she can score and play against high level players while playing for Northwest Blazers and should see her recruiting pick up soon.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Payton has stepped up this season for this fairly young Pioneers team. They had most of their top players from the last 2 seasons, where they went to back to back 1A state championship games. Bartl has done a great job at doing what her team needs from game to game. She adjusts well to what the defense gives her or what her coach asks. She is going to continue to get better and have a big role for this team.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Semaj has great speed on the court and moves just as fast as when she has the ball in her hands. She plays elite isolation ball, having great dribble moves and a variety of moves to get by defenders. While combining elite defense with her well rounded offensive games, it makes her one of the hardest players to matchup against.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">She has great size down deep in the paint and is tough to matchup against nightly. She has a soft touch around the rim and can finish through traffic smoothly with either hand. She hustles hard and always crashes the board aggressively to get the ball for her team.</p>
