AIA blockers: best by numbers
Eric Newman
The AIA season recently concluded, and the following ten girls played well as part of their team’s defenses, averaging 3 or more blocks per game, and undoubtedly causing even more misses at the rim.
Atop the list was a couple of sophomores: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="36791" first="Kennedy" last="Basham"]</strong> of Pinnacle with 4.6 per game and <strong>Elizabeth Huhtala</strong> of Salome with 3.8. There were four sophomores and four seniors on the list. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="135735" first="Jacy" last="Finley"]</strong> of Camp Verde led the seniors with 3.7, and was third overall in the top 10.
Basham was one of the three 6A players in the top 10, which was more than any other conference. <strong>Gracie Cummins</strong>, a senior from Alhambra, and <strong>Jalynn Avila</strong>, a sophomore from Tolleson Union, were the other two.
Here are the top 7 (four-way tie for seventh-place, and a three-way tie for fourth)
