<p><strong>Grantsville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When you look at their record, you might not consider them a threat, but they are starting to play some good basketball. The defense is starting to click, and it seems like that has propelled them a bit here in the second half of the season. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='884190' first='SaDee' last='Castagno']: </strong>Over the past five games, Castagno has shown significant improvement and increasing confidence in her performance. She is currently averaging 15 points per game during this period. If this positive trend continues, it bodes well for Grantsville, making them a team to watch. Castagno possesses solid shooting ability, and even a couple of made shots per game can significantly contribute to their scoring output.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='952640' first='Emmy' last='Butler']:</strong> is currently leading the team in scoring. While she hasn't performed as well in the last two games, prior to that, she was putting up impressive numbers. A strong partnership between Butler and Castagno could make Grantsville a formidable team. Butler is a reliable player for Grantsville, excelling in both scoring and decision-making on the court.</p>

<p>Grantsville possesses depth beyond its star players. [player_tooltip player_id='952605' first='Kamry' last='Allen'], for instance, is a valuable role player who excels as a complementary option on the wing, providing consistent contributions without needing to dominate the game. [player_tooltip player_id='1379880' first='Saydee' last='Thornton'] is another player capable of injecting scoring power, and when these players all perform well together, it makes Grantsville a formidable and unpredictable opponent in 3A.</p>

<p><strong>Emery</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Emery has shown improvement recently, winning four of their last five games. While they've experienced some inconsistency throughout the season, a hallmark of late January for many teams, Emery possesses the advantage of a balanced attack. Their players effectively share the ball, distributing scoring opportunities across the roster. This makes it difficult for opposing teams to single out and focus their defense on just one player.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1676571' first='Aleeyah' last='Cowley'] is a standout player for Emery, leading the team in scoring. She consistently averages over 11 points per game, and her rebounding efforts have been exceptional. Cowley's presence around the rim makes her a tough matchup for teams lacking size, and while she rarely shoots from beyond the arc, she has shown flashes of range this season. Cowley's contributions are a major reason Emery is considered a dangerous team.</p>

<p>KamBree Gordon is another player to watch for Emery. While she may not be the primary scorer, Gordon is a dynamic player who contributes significantly through her attacking style near the basket and her developing shooting ability. Her presence adds an extra layer of unpredictability to Emery's offense, as she can score at any time.</p>
