<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sharp will be the only returning contributor for Cyprus. Paige was part of a team that only won 2 games and averaged a little bit over 32 PPG. With that said Sharp will be one of the bright spots on the team looking to add more to their scoring. She has experince on the AAU circuit as well as getting a lot of touches this spring and summer. She will need a lot of help but she is going to be a go to player on that young team. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pili is a very under the radar player that was putting up some solid numbers last seeason. She will likely up her scoring from 10 PPG to 13 or 15. What will help her scoring is how active she is on the glass and her pursuit of rebounds. She could get easy put-backs. Pili is a good college level player. Harper on the other hand is a player that can shoot the ball. If she can get a few more to fall she will be a double-digit scorer as well and help Granger improve as a team. Last seaosn they won 6 games and that should go up this coming season. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='925835' first='Emily' last='Mandel'] & Josie Haddock </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Haddock is a smaller PG but she does a great job on the boards despite being one of the shortest player son the court. She will need to improve her on ball defense and she also needs to find open players or help create for her team and get those assist up. She is more than capable. Mandel is ready to take her game to a new level. She shot the ball well this past season. If she can increase her range she might be able to double the points scored from this past season. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gallagher has proved that she is a next level player as she has been a very low maitnance player on the Adidas Circuit and even picking up her first D1 offer. She is going to be a double-double machine. In this region she will likely see a double team against most teams. Perez has the ability to be a major sta stuffer. She can score from all over and she defends, if she can maintain some consistency in her play she will help Hunter make a run in region play. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ava Tupoa & [player_tooltip player_id='997497' first='Lia' last='Benson']</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This past season Kearns won 8 games and they should be able to get to 10+ wins this coming season. Benson has been a player that has had a great offseason and she could be a very important player when it comes to stacking more wins. Her attacking and her shooting could easily be the most important. Tupoa on the other hand could be a force don in the paint and if they can get her paint touches she could make some solid decisions and make things happen. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1195587' first='Karen' last='Jones'] & Destiny Harrisson</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Harrisson makes good decisions with the ball as she can find open players. She has some freedom as she plays and if she can get a little more out of her perimeter game she could really help her team. Jones is another player that will be back and she is a double digit scoring player. There was only one game last season where she did not make a 3-pointer and there were multiple games where she went off for 6 a game. Jones is a player that needs to be looked at as a next level shooter. </p>

<p>Kaylee Falatea & Tiana Fa</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>West has so many players to tyurn to if they need a bucket but none better than Falatea as she is not only the bests corer coming back she is one of the best players in the state. She can score from all over and frankly she can do anything. Fa might be among one of the most under the radar players in the state and she is a solid center. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>West Jordan has started to build a bit and they have two solid players coming back. McIntyre is a great little guard that plays the PG position and that will help WJ a lot as they graduate two really good players. Look for McIntyre to get to double digit scoring this coming season. Lokeni is a beast on the glass, so look for her to up her game this coming season as well. </p>
