Most Outstanding Players from State Championship Day 4

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NCHSAA is hosting their state championships this week, and I am in Winston-Salem to catch all eight of the women's championship games.  On day 4, we had two matchups: 5A classification saw North Lincoln defeat Southeast Alamance and 7A classification saw North Meck defeat Southern SES.  Every game sees a Most Outstanding player selected from each team.  Here are the Most Outstanding Players from day 4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

offense after picking the pocket taking the steal the other direction with her speed and making it count at the rim.  She does so well seeing the floor and hitting her teammates in stride as they make hard cuts to the basket.  She got up high grabbing steals at the top of the key, and she can certainly explode up the court making the turnover a costly mistake for her opponents.  Her steals alone were fun to watch stripping the ball from her opponents and pushing it the other direction.  She knows how to control the tempo of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block

over on the offensive side of the court even getting offensive rebounds to put back up for her team.  She did well attacking the basket with her ball handling making the dish to the perimeter for the shot.  She ran the floor being ready to score in transition.  She even handled her own on the block protecting the basket from a post player grabbing rebounds and using her length to cause some problems.  She was getting her hands in the way anticipating what her opponents would do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

leave it all out on the court from the beginning diving on the floor for loose balls to get the possession for her team.  She anticipated what her opponents were going to do jumping in the passing lanes and pushing it up the court.  Her ability to grab offensive rebounds was definitely an asset for her team extending the possession, and she attacked the basket with ease making tough shots at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

from beyond the arc.  She's tough taking the ball coast to coast herself using spin moves to get to the opening and scoring off the glass.  She was using her strength to drive to the basket giving some life to her team as she created an old fashioned three point play for herself.  She hustled back on defense protecting the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
