The Saint, Bishop, Queen and the King

In one of the most anticipated rematches of the season that had the first match go down in an overtime thriller, conventional wisdom says that it would be impossible to recreate the magic. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton took another crack at Bishop John Michael McNamara on the day that the Mustangs paid homage to the Queen La Reine and donned the throwback white and blue jerseys from 1990. The Roadrunners were looking for revenge, however, the King aka [player_tooltip player_id='864319' first='Jaylah' last='King'] had other plans. The result was another overtime thriller with McNamara edging Seton 55-54.   Standout Players    Nyair scored 12 points but more importantly she had incredible control of the game. She dictated what Seton was able to do with her defense and consistently found holes to make plays for her teammates. She was a terror in the back court harassing and stripping ballhandlers of their precious cargo. When you think you have her beat she is still a threat to pluck the ball from behind. There are several plays that probably decided the outcome, but one play in particular was a half court buzzer beater to end the third quarter that gave the Mustangs their biggest lead of the game at 43-36.

She started off the scoring attacking of the dribble and getting to the basket for the finish. She had the speed advantage over her defender and you could sense that she knew it. Even as help began to come she was able to repeatedly make the right play and get the ball where it was supposed to go. McNamara doesn't win this game without her effort.

She had a lot on her shoulders as she ran some point guard and some center. Fouls started to mount up early as she had three in the first half to include a technical foul for taunting after a go ahead basket. The ensuing free throws surrendered the lead and could have been the margin in a regulation victory. Although there were multiple plays you can go back and point a finger at, when a game is this tightly contested you don't want to give away any unforced points. Zoe finished with 18 points, scoring in each quarter and in overtime. There was a span where it appeared that no one on McNamara's team could stop her, however, fouling out in overtime may have sealed their fate.

The Mustangs were able to throw several bodies at her, however, they had no answer for her turnaround jumper deep in the post. It was a "hope she miss" and get the rebound session. She scored 11 points and had some big rebounds. Her play made the game interesting as it seemed like she was always a good option.     Jaylah had a difficult time with the referees, it seemed like they had a target on her. She scored 15 points and was the difference maker in overtime but nothing came easy for her. It seemed like almost every time she touched the ball there was a head scratching whistle. Defensively she dipped into the passing lanes repeatedly to get some breakaway baskets. She was also able to capitalize from the line scoring half of her points from the stripe.   <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/02/5I5A4272_bf6e54.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1729444" /></figure> </figure>     Lala made some big three pointers both gave the Roadrunners leads. The late three was the potential game winner if not for some late heroics by the Mustangs. Lala handled duties at the point and off the ball and was a threat to score at any point.     Qandace led the Mustangs with a quiet 16 points. She had 10 points from the free throw line and didn't make any three pointers. She had a midrange pull-up that had the defender doing a 360, it was like she created space in a phone booth and it was one of the most beautiful plays that I've seen in a long time. It would probably go unnoticed as it seemed so effortless to her.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/02/5I5A4304-crop-4378x2875-1770515501.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1729433" /></figure>     Audriana scored 9 points and each score was a highlight reel. She started coming on strong late in the game and was a key player on both ends of the floor. Unfortunately she fouled out of the game with a little over two minutes left to play. Losing her was big as her playmaking was needed at least one more time. It's likely that these two teams will meet again and hopefully she can stay on the floor until the final whistle as she is needed.

She was huge on the glass snagging every rebound in her area. She got a clean block shot and altered a couple of others. She is constantly growing into her potential game after game.
