State Scoring Leaders – Off The Radar

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We take a look at girls who are leading the state in multiple areas of the game. Some are familiar names, while others have flown under the radar due to school size or location rather than ability. Today, we highlight a few of those players whose impact deserves more recognition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1119382"],"_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-697a70d63e830"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The state's leading scorer right now is [player_tooltip player_id='1119382' first='Keiarra' last='Martin'], averaging nearly 28 points per game, and her production makes it clear that school size has nothing to do with skill or athletic ceiling. She consistently creates separation off the first dribble, has a lightning-quick release, and is comfortable shooting well beyond the arc. Her mechanics are clean and repeatable, and the confidence she plays with shows on every possession. If she continues at this pace, her impact could be the driving force that pushes Whitehorse into a deep postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["825057"],"_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-697a70d63e88c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">AJ from Wayne is pouring in over 21 points per game, and a big reason for that consistency is her ability to control space around the rim. She rebounds at a high level, carves out a position in the paint, and immediately turns those touches into scoring opportunities. When she gets the ball, there's no hesitation — she goes downhill with purpose, attacks defenders, and finishes through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796819"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1696924,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-697a70d63e8fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kassali is lethal from beyond the arc, and those threes add up fast on her way to 20-point nights. She shoots with confidence and range, forcing defenses to extend, but she's not just a perimeter threat. She embraces contact on both ends of the floor, using her physical defense to create turnovers and quickly turn stops into scoring opportunities in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696936"],"_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-697a7cb678147"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daniela is an exceptionally young player already carrying a major load for a small Freedom Prep program, and her impact is hard to miss. She's capable of taking over a game offensively, highlighted by a 35-point performance, and consistently looks comfortable with the ball in her hands. While Freedom Prep may not be in the state title conversation this season, Daniela's skill set, confidence, and scoring ability make her a player worth tracking closely over the next few years as she continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Scorers in the State You Already Know</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796799' first='Sophie' last='Nielsen'] - Brighton - 25.8 ppg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796794' first='Kylee' last='Falatea'] - West - 24 ppg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='790604' first='Rylee' last='Little'] - Kanab - 23 ppg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='866689' first='Kira' last='Grant'] - Duchesne - 21.4 ppg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='825009' first='Leah' last='Bailey'] - Maple Mountain - 20.7 ppg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796795' first='Milika' last='Satuala'] - Bountiful - 20.3 ppg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
