<p class="text-gray-700">Hearty's stellar play set the tone for East's triumph over Northfield. The 6'3 forward opened the game with a smooth jumper, driving left and elevating over her defender. Time and again, she found her spot in the paint, rising above smaller opponents for her shot. Her steady leadership under Northfield's pressure kept her teammates composed. The highlight of Hearty's night came in the second quarter, when she notched her 1000th career point on a powerful and-1 layup. Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Avramovic's imposing presence is a game-changer for East against Northfield. She swatted away shots and made every drive to the rim a challenge for Nighthawks' guards. On offense, she wasted no time after halftime, dropping in two quick baskets over smaller defenders stretching East's lead to double digits. Avramovic continues to show great footwork around the rim, adding a floating hook moments later.. As she adapts to the American style, she looks poised to be a difference maker in East's quest for a state title.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Valdez ignited the game with her energy, drilling two deep three-pointers in the opening quarter. She buried another triple in the second quarter, helping East build a commanding lead. Valdez added a nice dump-off pass to an open teammate after getting two feet in the paint. She played great defensively. Hustled for every loose ball, even diving out of bounds to save a possession for East. From the opening tip, Valdez played like she wanted this win more than anyone.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Dennis was a force for Northfield, lighting up the scoreboard with two quick threes as both teams traded blows early. She had a nice spin move in the paint that resulted in two free-throws. Dennis got into her bag, adding a nice reverse layup against Avramovic in the third. Her craftiness around the rim was matched by her tenacity on defense. Dennis was battling for rebounds against taller opponents and contesting shots without fouling. A great effort from the junior standout.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Taylor's aggressive style of defense kept Northfield in the game. She is a great on-ball defender. Her quick feet and strength forced multiple turnovers from East's guards. Taylor did a great job of converting those turnovers into easy buckets. In the fourth quarter, she went coast-to-coast, slicing through the defense with a smooth left-handed euro step layup. Another standout performance from the junior guard.</p>
