She can effectively catch and shoot from deep, but can also create her own shot. In her team's regular-season finale, she reached 1,000 career points. This season, she's averaging 22 points per game and more than four steals. She's consistent, too, as she's at least 20 points in 10 of her last 11 games. Overland is the 22 seed and will face No. 11 Regis in the second round on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796629"],"_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-699be7dac0242"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boulder's star guard is a playmaker with the ball in her hands, whether that's shooting from deep, driving or setting up a teammate. Offensively, Oder is as gifted a player as the program has seen for some time. When she attacks the rim, it's not only with the ball. She's a hustling rebounder, stands out when she's usually the best player on the floor. She's averaging 20 points and five rebounds per game this season. Boulder is the 32 seed and hosts No. 33 Rocky Mountain on Wednesday.</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":"Mia Avramovic","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Denver East","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-699be7dac0322"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you're talking about touted prospects out of Denver East, senior [player_tooltip player_id='510724' first='Mairead' last='Hearty'] and junior [player_tooltip player_id='631334' first='Grace' last='Hall'] should come to mind. But the sophomore hit a growth spurt over the past season and is listed at 6-foot-5. She's dominant around the rim, whether she's changing shots in the paint or putting away her own chances with ease. Offensively, she's added a hook shot to her already stout resume. Along with Hearty and Hall, Avramovic makes No. 6 Denver East a strong title contender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510719"],"_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-699be7dac0389"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slater is one of those players who does a bit of everything on the court, and does it well. None of her stats will blow anyone away — she's averaging 15 points and four rebounds per game this season. But she's a difference-maker every time she's on the court, whether that's diving for loose balls, guarding the other team's best player or scoring. Erie is ranked 10th in the bracket and hosts No. 23 Rock Canyon in the second round on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1223140"],"_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-699be7dac03fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The freshman is a tough cover. She handles the ball well for someone her size. She's best around the rim but also has a nice mid-range and 3-point shot. She's an effective rebounder and consistently looks to make plays for her teammates. Fruita Monument is the 19 seed and is at No. 14 Arvada West in the Round of 32 on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
