As Class AA teams get ready for the state tournament, PGH wanted to roll out some key forwards to keep an eye on.
<ol>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="100467" first="Hilary" last="Behrens"], <strong>Brandon Valley</strong>. The Lynx number one option is Behrens. Why? Because she can do it all. It's snowball effect with her. Once she starts going, then a teammate starts going. Then another, then another and another.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="14244" first="Hannah" last="Ronsiek"], <strong>O’Gorman</strong>. A tough matchup offensively and defensively. Ronsiek is one tough cookie. Not your grandma’s soft home baked yummy cookie. More like those dollar store cookies that get stuck in your teeth. But they taste so good.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="178828" first="Josie" last="Hill"],<strong> Rapid City Central</strong>. Hill has the length and athleticism to keep up with anyone. She can cover ground an alter shots from further out.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="98690" first="Macy" last="Kempf"], <strong>Mitchell. Kempf</strong> is the engine of this Mitchell squad. Not only is she their best player, she’s their most seasoned. It seems like she been around for years.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="14245" first="Ndjakalenga" last="Mwenentanda"], <strong>Sioux Falls Washington</strong>. The combination of length and skill is Mwenentanda is unlike any other in the state. She can affect the game on both ends of the court.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="99741" first="Emilee" last="Boyer"], <strong>Harrisburg</strong>. Boyer is the low post presence that lifts the Tiger into serious contenders. With shooter all-around her, Boyer will have plenty of opportunities for single matches in the paint.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="99735" first="Sidney" last="Thue"], <strong>Brandon Valley</strong>. Thue adds another 6-footer to the line-up for Brandon Valley. Solid down low, with great positioning skills. Thue is a clean-up machine.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="166683" first="Bergen" last="Reilly"], <strong>O’Gorman</strong>. Reilly bring a steady calm to the Knights. She plays her roll to the “T,” which allows others the get all the attention. She then swoops in with timely rebound, points and defensive stops.</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="99730" first="Bailee" last="Sobczak"], <strong>Rapid City Stevens</strong>. Sobczak adds some height to this athletic Stevens team. She runs the floor well and fills in lane. Occasionally she will knock down the three</li>
<li>[player_tooltip player_id="98671" first="Sydni" last="Schetnan"], <strong>Sioux Falls Washington</strong>. Schetnan impacts the game from tip-off. She will blocks shots, face up, shoot the mid range and rebound at a high clip.</li>
