She copped an MVP award as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Samantha Feher, Reservoir, 2027, Forward</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Day two was a really good day for Samantha.

Intriguing prospect to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong> Ijae Dower, New Town, 2025, Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick and scrappy guard that is capable of getting hot and carrying her team.
