Last week, the Cardinals won the Central Conference tournament behind the play of McMillan and Kassidy Egge. In the three games across the tournament, McMillan was a hard guard moving inside and outside to score. She scored 40 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and had seven steals in the tournament. For the season, McMillan carries averages of 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists. She also leads the Cardinals in blocks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["758851"],"_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-698353bbc3128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In a huge week for the Dusters, the Doane commit was a key player in upsets over state-ranked Gothenburg in the Southwest Conference semifinals and Ogallala in the championship game. Stutzman scored 15 points in the 45-42 semifinal win over Gothenburg, where the Dusters ended the game on a 12-0 run to advance. In the finals, she added 16 points in a 52-37 win over Ogallala.

In four games of the grueling RPAC tournament, Scott scored -- wait for it -- 20, 27, 24 and 21 points across the four games. Her 21 points in the championship game helped the Cardinals end a perfect season for Dundy County-Stratton, who is No. 1 in Class D-2. Scott's aggressive style of play and ability to get to the rim is perfectly suited for a lucky Nebraska small college. And, she still has one more year to develop. Currently has season averages of 16.1 points, 3.7 assists and 3.1 steals per contest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1380662"],"_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-698353bbc31b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In leading Cross County to their second straight Crossroads Conference tournament, Peterson scored on a game-winning drive with three seconds left to lift the Cougars to a 42-40 in over Osceola.
