<p class="text-gray-700">Back in late 2023 Macy went through a major injury, a type that most dont bounce back from. However, Macy seems as if she hasnt lost a step. She had a strong ending to her sophomore season, and followed it up with a strong AAu season as well. This year, shes back to looking like one of the top juniors in the state. Coaches should be tied in when AAU season kicks off.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ignatius started the first half of the season as one of the best teams in the state, even with one of their promising guards out. Now shes back, and what she brings to this team could truly push them over the top as a legitimate state title contender. Shes a problem on both ends of the floor and is nowhere near her peak as a basketball player.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">When you suffer a lower body injury, the first thing people question is will you lose your athleticism. When you have Reeses ability to stretch the floor at a high level, sometimes the athleticism does not need to be 100% back to where it was. Looking forward to seeing her back on the AAU circuit this spring and summer.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Being a key guard for a possible state tournament team is no joke, and even though Nordstrom has had a couple hiccups when it comes to staying healthy, she has been nothing but an impact player for this Zurich program. She is a true point guard who knows how to be dominant and play a role.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Henigan is part of Kenwoods future in staying a competitive team. This year, the team is loaded with a ton of seniors, so the minutes have been spared for everyone, and even though she is coming off a major injury, that aggressive nature seems to run in the Henigan blood. A big summer is ahead for Amillya.</p>
