<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hilliard and Fort White will match up once again, but this time it's for the right to advance in the high school playoffs. Each team has a featured player who has been the teams' statistical leader all season, and each team also has leadership that comes from some of the older players on their respective team. In this article we look at the key players - the catalysts and the X factors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hilliard vs Fort White</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Catalysts</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='221613' first='Alyssa' last='Hallman']<strong> (cover photo)</strong> is the catalyst for Hilliard and has been also. The Shooting guard has been consistent on a team full of offensive weapons. Hallman enters the contest averaging 16.7 points per game and has connected on 38 threes for the season. Hallman also has a sweet shooting stroke in the midrange game. Hallman averages 8.5 rebounds rebounds per game and is always a threat to post a double- double. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='934624' first='Molly' last='Dean'] bring a ton of experience to the ball game and also has the skill and pedigree to stand out in any elimination game. She can handle the ball, she can get to the rim, and she can shoot the ball from anywhere on the court. Most impressive is that she is also a playmaker who makes those around her better. If Hallman gets all of the attention, Dean has the ability to make the opponent pay.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='981281' first='Ya'Zuri' last='Hollie'] is the most versatile player in this matchup and can score from anywhere on the court. She is physically gifted and has the ability to get to the rim and overpower anyone who is between her and the basket. As much power as there is in her game, she can still take it outside and score from the perimeter. She will be a tough matchup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1003868' first='Israel' last='Hart'] is the utility player for Fort White and is a stat sheet stuffer. She can get to the rim and score, she can shoot from the outside, and she can also be a playmaker. Hart also does a great job on the defensive end where she leads her team in steals and blocks. She has a great motor that runs from the beginning of the game until the end. Hart is a main player in the game and her stat line will be a major factor in this contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>X Factors</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1003868' first='Israel' last='Hart'] is the utility player for Fort White and is a stat sheet stuffer.

She has a great motor that runs from the beginning of the game until the end. Hart is a main X Factor in the game. Her stat line will be a major factor in this contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reah Saunders is another X Factor in the game. The young budding star is light years ahead of her age group and is a bonafide threat in this game. Saunders can handle the ball, she can shoot the ball and is a dynamic young player in the open court and transition. She is also a playmaker who makes good decisions with the ball in her hand. She can beat you with the pass or the shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1136123' first='Zryiah' last='Jones'] is a player who could definitely be an X Factor in this matchup. She has the height advantage and does have the ability to put the ball in the basket. Jones could be a player on the offensive glass and could control the paint with her length. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Hilliard and Fort White will match up once again, but this time it's for the right to advance in the high school playoffs. Each team has a featured player who has been the teams' statistical leader all season, and each team also has leadership that comes from some of the older players on their respective team.
