Below are a few big time performances from athletes that helped lead their teams to states: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728706"],"_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-67c89d2a8091a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During the regular season with 20 games played, Hutchinson averaged 15.2 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, &amp; 6 steals per game! Sophi was spectacular in leading her team to a 68-43 win over Parkersburg South! The junior poured in 19 points, and added 10 steals, &amp; 6 assists. Hutchinson continues to shine in whatever situation she is in. She continues to do whatever it takes to win. She's an extremely unselfish player, but she knows how and when she needs to take over a game. She's the guard that can score in numerous ways from anywhere on the court. Yes, she's a 3 level scorer and a great defender that can lead her team to a state championship!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722078"],"_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-67c89d2a809b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kellogg continues to fill up an entire stat sheet every game. Morgantown beat John Marshall 64-49. In the win, Kayli had 18 points, 7 steals, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. I don't know many athletes that put up these numbers consistently! This one is the definition of consistent! Kayli continues to play elite basketball on both ends of the floor! She's so incredibly savvy, and she reads passes better than most. You don't get to the level of play that Kayli is at without hard work. She's an elite athlete that continues to show this through her defense, court vision, and overall play. Morgantown is definitely one of the top contenders to compete for a state championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["342212"],"_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-67c89d2a80a26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I didn't pick University to win. I was completely wrong! University dominated the game against Wheeling Park with a score of 65-35. Hannah led all scorers with 20 points. This star was not going to be denied a chance to finish her senior season up state! We all know that Stemple can light the scoreboard up fast! The value that she brings to this University team can never be measured by stats. I love the energy and effort that she brought all season. She has the contagious energy that picks her team up when needed! Hannah once stated, “I want to help my team win. Getting to the state tournament is a huge goal for all of us, and I will do everything I can do to help that cause." You definitely did your part, Hannah! Stemple &amp; this University team will be a force to be reckoned with during the state tournament!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["718028"],"_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-67c89d2a80a8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Have yourself a game, Jeriyah! Pryor poured in 43 points, added 6 rebounds, and 4 steals in the 83-74 win over Woodrow! This young athlete is electric! She has the ability to beat anyone off the dribble. She has one of the quickest first steps. She excels on both ends of the court. You can put her on any all-defensive team. She really does have a skill level that is off the charts. The ball is truly on strings when it is in her hands. This athlete is a big time player that continues to lead this George Washington team! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["640828"],"_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-67c89d2a80aef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lauren is the do-it-all kid! She led Parkersburg in scoring with 16 points to defeat Hurricane 64-49. The stat line that I love the most is the 8 rebounds that she added! She does a great job of crashing the boards and chasing down rebounds. She is a vocal athlete that continues to put this Parkersburg team in a position to win. She communicates effectively on both ends of the court. She's a guard that can play off the ball. We all know that her 3 pointer can be deadly! She's a high energy guard that goes to battle against anyone. I continue to love her non-stop motor! Keep your eyes on Flanagan as she finishes her junior season up state!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other scores for teams that made it up state: Spring Mills defeated Musselman 44-41, Washington defeated Martinsburg 47-26, St. Albans defeated Oak Hill 51-46. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
