She recorded a double-double in all but one game, showing remarkable consistency night in and night out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Averaging 17.7 points and 14.8 rebounds per game, she dominated both scoring and the glass, but it's her defensive presence that truly sets her apart. With an impressive 6.9 blocks per game, she completely controls the paint, forcing opposing teams to adjust and look for scoring opportunities from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1119391' first='Alexa' last='Vance'] - Salem Hills - 18.3 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 2 apg, 3.5 spg, 1.2 bpg. One of the unsung heroes in 5A this season. She should be a huge standout and a ranking riser going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796470' first='Mahala' last='Speredon'] - Wasatch - 15.2 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 1.2 spg, 1.3 bpg, 1.6 spg. Center for the Wasps, helping push them far into playoffs this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796472' first='Abigail' last='Christensen'] - Fremont - 19.2 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 2.2 apg, 1.1 bpg, 1.3 spg. A forward who can play like a center or move out to the perimeter and play like a wing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='825009' first='Leah' last='Bailey'] - Maple Mountain - 20 ppg, 2.7 apg, 2.2 spg, 3.7 rpg. Put in 103 3-pointers this season and was the motion for Maple. Relentless effort and hustle player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='827404' first='Maleah' last='Nelson'] - Bountiful - 10.2 ppg, 2 spg, 2 apg. Maleah's quickness is immediately noticeable and her ability to hit the 3 keeps teams guessing whether to defend her deep or stop the drive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Second Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='805802' first='Ciara' last='De La O'] - Clearfield</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='827411' first='Baja' last='Jimenez'] - Bonneville </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='805800' first='Tessa' last='Duke'] - Taylorsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796499' first='Janiece' last='Sikander'] - Pleasant Grove</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1274979' first='Mia' last='McArthur'] - Fremont</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Honorable Mention</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='839444' first='Hoku' last='Pili'] - Granger</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='827413' first='Hattie' last='Templeman']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796473' first='Zuri' last='Nordstrom'] - Pleasant Grove</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='843962' first='Francine' last='McIntyre'] - West Jordan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1697034' first='Norah' last='Pearce'] - Skyline</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
