Top Performers-Mansfield Spring Creek Invitational pt 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Where I start is always one of the things that pops into my mind when I cover this event and the <strong>Sandra Meadows Classic</strong> because both are right after the Christmas Holidays. It revitalizes me to see 64 teams, probably over 75% that I hadn't seen all season, and it's a great tune-up for part 2 of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part 1 is the preseason, part 2 is the district and part 3 is the MOST important, the playoffs. It has been reworded by many but always remember that nothing of relevance is being said that I haven't already said but nevertheless, here are some players that just stood out in a big way</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other standouts were on the <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/12/top-unsigned-seniors-mansfield-spring-creek-invitational/">Top Unsigned Seniors </a></em></strong>article and I have a <strong>FRESHMAN</strong> list coming, as well as a few others but let me start with the<strong> Top Performers</strong> from the the top 2 teams, <strong>Mansfield Timberview </strong>defeated<strong> South Grand Prairie</strong> in the Championship game</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521954"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Wilson has always amazed me with her ability to get open and watching her score off the dribble and finish  acrobatically after contact speaks volumes about her body control.
