The Notre Dame commit lived up to her Blue Chip billing by recording back-to-back double-doubles, highlighted by an eye-popping 20-rebound performance in the semifinal win over Steinbrenner. Her athleticism, a product of her elite dual-sport background, allowed her to outwork entire frontcourts for second-chance points and defensive stops. By averaging 14.5 points and 15.5 rebounds over the two-game stretch, Sangha provided the interior presence that allowed St. Thomas Aquinas to dictate the terms of every game they played.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["430459"],"_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-69b9695af0b1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stephanie served as the steady, high-IQ motor that powered Doral Academy to the 7A title, culminating in dominant performances throughout the state championship series. In the semifinal, she poured in 24 points on an incredible 9-of-10 shooting while drawing six fouls that helped remove Centennial's top two seniors from the game. She carried that momentum into the final, leading all scorers with 22 points, going 8-of-10 from the free-throw line, drawing eight fouls, and grabbing five rebounds to control the glass. While her scoring was critical, her defensive intelligence set her apart—playing 30 high-intensity minutes in the final and recording five steals across the two games. By combining veteran poise with physical presence, Vega kept Doral composed under pressure and clinical when the championship was on the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1092442"],"_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-69b9695af0b66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">London earned her First Team honors as the tournament's most explosive offensive spark. The 2028 prospect showed a big-game temperament, particularly in the state championship, where she shot 6-of-10 from the field and 3-of-7 from deep. Her ability to stretch defenses while maintaining a strong assist-to-turnover ratio proved she is more than just a scorer—she is a high-IQ playmaker who controlled the tempo in both the semifinal and final. Averaging 14 points and leading the team in perimeter defensive disruption, Thomas demonstrated why she is already considered one of the nation's premier guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861113"],"_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-69b9695af0ba9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing as the lone representative from the runner-up squad on the First Team, Quin was the heart and soul of Winter Haven's postseason run. She carried a heavy workload, leading her team in scoring in both the semifinal and championship games, including a spectacular 24-point effort in the final. Beyond scoring, she was a true do-it-all force, totaling 11 rebounds and seven steals across the two games, with eight boards and five steals in the title matchup alone, impacting every corner of the floor. Her relentless motor, versatility, and two-way dominance make her inclusion on the First Team a testament to both her individual talent and her critical role in Winter Haven's tournament success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["243907"],"_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-69b9695af0be9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashley proved to be the tournament's most lethal perimeter threat, providing the spacing and momentum Doral needed on their championship run. She had a historic semifinal, catching fire to hit 8-of-14 from three—accounting for all of the team's deep production and finishing with a game-high 26 points. Beyond scoring, Martinez displayed elite floor vision, totaling seven assists across the two games and posting a +23 plus/minus in the semifinal. Her ability to combine consistent long-range shooting with primary playmaking forced opposing defenses into impossible rotations, making her a clear and deserving First Team selection.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248374"],"_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-69b9695af0c28"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Catalina secured her First Team spot through clinical efficiency and two-way versatility. She was the definition of a pure shooter during the title run, scoring 17 points on 72.7% shooting in the championship game while missing only three attempts. Beyond scoring, LaFreniere served as her team's most consistent facilitator, leading the transition game with seven assists and anchoring perimeter defense with eight steals. Her ability to impact every column of the box score without forcing plays kept the Raiders' offense fluid and made her an indispensable piece of their championship identity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
