The Class B champion showed true leadership stepping up. Even as the pressure picked up, the natural attacking instincts never dissipated. 21, pts, 6 reb, 2 stl and a block are indicative of a player that was dominant on both sides of the ball in this title game. She was simply one of the best players on the floor.

She sets teammates up with excellent passes to get their shots off and drops off terrific assists in the lane for others right by the rim. The ability to evenly distribute the ball around while facilitating high-powered offense is a skill that can't go overlooked. In route to winning the AA championship this year, Saige's reliability has been leaned upon heavily. The steadiness shown throughout the season has been a staple for the Hilltoppers and has carried over when it most counts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1049719"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d363221b01f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1049719' first='Alicia' last='Mitchell'] (2025) | 6'3 Forward/Center | Loomis Chaffee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The MVP play from Mitchell led Loomis Chaffee to their 4th straight title. The 6'3 big put on a dominant display in the title game; she couldn't be stopped at the rim plus the rim protection was top notch. There wasn't much defenders could do either. Sealing early and teammates leading her with excellent entry passes led to the advanced play. Mithcell seemed to excel in these high leverage moments that the playoff atmosphere provides. It was clear early on into the game that Mitchell had every intention of leaving her imprint on this game. There were countless plays that stood out during the road to Loomis Chafee winning it all.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1217935' first='Jaliah' last='Duplessy']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Brimmer u0026amp; May","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Team Sims","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d363221b0b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1217935' first='Jaliah' last='Duplessy'] (2029) | Wing | Brimmer &amp; May </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class D MVP has been sensational all season long, but even more incredible play has come from the 8th grade star in the biggest game of the year. Jaliah's performances this postseason have illustrated a player that's advanced in many areas, despite her age. Duplessy just finds a way to get it done. Her playstyle is well-suited for success for the next 4 years. The impactful play on both sides of the ball can't be denied. This could be the first of many championships for her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
