<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A recap of the Class 4 girls championship game between Lift for Life and Park Hills Central.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Start of a dynasty at Lift for Life?</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team was led by a majority freshmen and sophomores, at least when you look at the bulk of their scoring. [player_tooltip player_id='777605' first='Amaya' last='Manuel'], [player_tooltip player_id='488377' first='Zha' last='Harris'], and [player_tooltip player_id='493477' first='Diamond' last='Polk'] will be around for at least two more seasons and this team is only going to get better. They play and up-and-down style that's hard not to enjoy watching. Great guard play is a necessity to winning at the high school level and they have some of the best. Recruiting will pick up for these players and this program following the championship. Expect for them to be back in this position again next season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fantastic freshman [player_tooltip player_id='777605' first='Amaya' last='Manuel'] shines.&nbsp;</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 2027 class has a number of great players and Manuel is near the top of the list. Her speed, scoring, and overall ability to impact every facet of the game is rarely seen from a freshman. A dynamic player and a bigtime prospect to watch. It's crazy to imagine what she's going to look like in her senior season if this is the impact she makes as a freshman. She was a fan favorite at state and created a lot of buzz for those who haven't seen her play. Manuel will see her stock soar this summer.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='644567' first='Paige' last='Fowler'] is a hardworking 2024.&nbsp;</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fowler was the glue to this team and played a key role in their success. She worked hard on the wing and around the paint, rebounded, and made clutch plays. Her experience and senior leadership was evident. In the championship game she had 13 points en route to a double-double with rebounds. She continued to earn extra shots attacking the offensive glass. This was an area of the game that she dominated. Fowler is a player who can impact at a regional school that needs a winner!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='255530' first='Khloe' last='Dischbein'] scores 24.&nbsp;</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a final game from Dischbein who had an amazing senior season. She's a high level competitor who scores with the best of them. Her senior season saw a bunch of accomplishments and the Park Hills community will always remember her and this team for making it to the biggest stage. The 2024 prospect is a player you're going to see succeed at the next level. She showcased in this game that her skill-set, willingness to compete, and ability to rise to the moment are all there.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
