We can never forget the ones underneath; battling every game in the trenches. Below are a few players that continue to leave their mark on the court:    Kennedy continues to show her dominance in the paint area. She does an excellent job of establishing position early. She is extremely ball savvy, & makes great passes out of the paint any time she is double-teamed. Opponents continue to have a difficult time stopping this one. You can count on Porter to make anything around the rim. She is efficient, her 60% field goal percentage proves that!   Defensively, she is one of the best rim protectors in the state. She is also one of the best rebounders in the state on both sides of the ball. She goes hard on every possession, and her leadership is unmatched.   Porter had 16 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks in the win over Spring Valley. She averages a double-double for a reason!     Sloan is one of the most fiery forwards you will find. She is consistent with her intensity that she brings every game. Lala is the athlete that will do all of the dirty work, and set the hard screens to get her teammates open. I love the competitiveness and fire that she plays with. She can call her own number and drop a 30 piece. Outside of scoring, she is an excellent rebounder on both ends.   Defensively, she provides relentless pressure for opponents. The deflections may not show in a stat column, but she picks up plenty of those to go with her steals.

It may not show in the blocked shot category, but she forces the bad shots.   Gunter is averaging 9.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.     Jones has put in the work through the years, and it continues to show. She battled adversity in her career and she has come back stronger, & better.

Jones leads her team in points, and rebounds. She is averaging 15.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.     Kenna continues to be the athlete that is everywhere on the floor. She is quick to the ball, and that helps her get a nice step before opponents have a chance to box her out. She is hard to stop on both ends of the court. Records are made to be broken and Keener is now the all-time leading scorer at Grafton!   Defensively, she uses her non-stop motor to make plays. She has great length to go with her size. She is quick to get her hands on the ball. She excels in blocking shots and taking control of the game.   Kenna is leading her team in points, field goal percentage, rebounds, and blocks!
