Andie Turner, number 10 for the Lady Panthers of Fairview High School, was exceptionally skilled from beyond the arc, demonstrating remarkable shooting prowess. She was highly effective from three-point range, successfully making 5 out of 7 attempts during the game. Throughout the night, she exhibited confidence in her shooting, readily taking shots whenever she was given a bit of space. Andie is an excellent catch-and-shoot player, capable of scoring from various positions on the court. She displayed impressive ball-handling skills, including a well-executed stutter step. Her play was characterized by excellent pace and maturity, and she possessed remarkable court vision, consistently delivering accurate passes to her teammates, thereby creating favorable scoring opportunities.     Annie, a sophomore wearing number 2 for the Lady Hawks, demonstrated her defensive prowess by protecting the paint and accumulating a total of 4 blocked shots during the game. She is recognized as a skilled rim protector and rebounder. This season, Annie has expanded her role to include ball-handling, capably advancing the ball up the court when necessary. While she attempted one shot from beyond the arc that did not connect, indicating an area for improvement in accuracy, Annie primarily excelled in her mid-range game and within the paint, showcasing commendable footwork. However, there were instances where Annie disengaged from plays, suggesting a need to enhance her cardio. Additionally, her on-court communication was noted as minimal, indicating a need for her to become more vocal.     Pazile'ra Aka Pay Pay, Sophomore Number 23 for the Lady Hawks, is a skilled ball handler for the team. She demonstrates the ability to drive and score effectively in challenging situations, often finishing at the rim. Her talent for drawing fouls and converting free throws is also noteworthy. While Pay Pay is comfortable in the spotlight, this sometimes leads her to overlook opportunities to pass to open teammates, particularly those in the corners who might have a better chance of scoring. This suggests a potential area for growth in court awareness, as she tends to prioritize driving to the rim. On the defensive end, there have been instances where Pay Pay has disengaged from plays, resulting in easy baskets or fast breaks for the opposing team. Although she is a capable on-ball defender, improving communication and involving her teammates more actively would greatly benefit the team's overall defense. Pay Pay possesses significant potential to become an exceptional player; however, recognizing the importance of teamwork will be crucial for her continued success.     Ellie Goleman, number 3 for the Lady Panthers of Fairview High School, played exceptionally well the other night against the Lady Hawks of Zwolle. Ellie demonstrated excellent on-ball defensive skills, effectively forcing turnovers and securing steals, thereby disrupting the opposing team's path to the basket and closing off driving lanes. Furthermore, Ellie was proficient at obtaining rebounds, contributing to second-chance points, and successfully finishing plays under the rim.     Gracie LeJeune, number 2 for the Lady Panthers of Fairview High School, performed admirably in protecting the rim and competing intensely with Annie from ZHS in the paint. She excelled at battling for rebounds and securing blocks, effectively creating space for her teammates and setting screens, which allowed for easy scoring opportunities near the basket. Gracie primarily contributed with her strong presence under the rim, utilizing her long arms and legs to act as a formidable enforcer. While Gracie did attempt a 3-point shot recently that did not reach the rim, it was commendable to see her efforts in expanding her game.     Addison Burr Jr., number 35 for the Lady Hawks of Zwolle High School, plays as a shooting guard. Addison demonstrates proficiency in ball-handling and can advance the ball up the court when necessary, with the ability to score from all three levels. However, during a recent game, she encountered some challenges with her shooting. While she drove to the rim with ease, she struggled to convert those attempts or play through contact, spending a significant portion of the game on the floor. Her demeanor also appeared to affect her focus and overall performance. Despite these difficulties, Addison successfully converted all of her free throw attempts and consistently pursued plays. She also secured a few easy layups. On the defensive end, she performed commendably, forcing several turnovers and steals.
