Teammate <strong>Emily Reed (2020 F)</strong> has averaged 6.3 rebounds and 7 points over just three games, numbers that her team will be hoping she increases during this matchup. Belleview’s <strong>Elaizha Nelson (2022 G/F) </strong>is averaging 12 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, while Freshman standout <strong>Bethany Long (2023 F)</strong> is averaging 11 rebounds and 8.7 points per game. This game is slated to be one of many marquee matchups during the weekend. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Adams City (5-3) vs Legend (3-4)</strong></span> The Adams City Eagles will be led by <strong>Jayanti Jones (2020 G)</strong>, a dominant scorer averaging 13 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. <strong>Amanda Herron (2020 C)</strong> has asserted herself as an absolute force at the rim, racking up a 10.6 rebound average to go along with her 5.3 points a game. <strong>Ally Lowe (2020 F) </strong>and <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kinzie-whitehead/"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kinzie-whitehead/">Kinzie Whitehead</a></a> (2022 F)</strong> have been working hard at maintaining the spark for the Legend Titans.

Look for Legend to prove themselves against tough competition in this game. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Sierra (4-3) vs Woodland Park (2-5)</strong></span> <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/dnae-wilson/">D’nae Wilson</a> (2020 G)</strong> has been lighting up the scoreboard for the Sierra Stallions this season, averaging 21.1 points a game in addition to her 3.7 rebounds per game. <strong>Azaria Lacour (2020 G)</strong> has followed up with 11.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game for the Stallions. The Woodland Park Panthers will be looking to <strong>Sarah Iskra (2020 G), Sage Drummond (2020 F/G), </strong>and <strong>Jada Boddy (2020 F)</strong> to fight off a high-powered Sierra team. This trio has accumulated 115 points, 67 rebounds, and 21 steals over five games. Performances that they will definitely need to reproduce in order to slow down the Stallions.
