She's been a steady double-digit scorer all year, but Friday she elevated her impact even more with 20 points and two blocks. Lehi needed a response after a stretch of losses, and Madison delivered, providing scoring, presence, and momentum when it mattered most.</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-6980288c79bf5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">AJ put together a complete, eye-opening performance on Friday, impacting the game in every possible way. She exploded for 36 points, knocked down four shots from beyond the arc, added nine steals, and finished with two blocks. Already one of the state's leading scorers, this performance only strengthens her position and continues to push her up the record books. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796480"],"_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-6980288c79b78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Corner Canyon has taken its share of hits this season, but Friday night told a different story. Jacey delivered a breakout performance in the Chargers' win over Lone Peak, pouring in 17 points and knocking down five three-pointers. It marked the best statistical night of her career and showcased what she's capable of when she finds her rhythm. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1325017"],"_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-6980288c79c54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor hasn't often had the opportunity to step into the role of primary scorer for American Fork, but Friday against Lehi, she made the most of it. She capitalized on her chances, showing she can carry offensive responsibility when needed. If she's able to build on that performance and continue contributing at that level, she could become a valuable piece for AF as they head toward the postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1708015"],"_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-6980288c79d31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kearns has endured a tough season, but Friday marked a turning point as they picked up their first win in a rivalry matchup against Cyprus. Maliya led the way with a career-high 23 points, drilling four three-pointers to fuel the victory. Her performance was a bright spot and a key factor in helping Kearns finally break through and get into the win column.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
