Break in case of emergency. Whenever River Ridge needed a spark, the state champs turned to Gaw to be their sparkplug off the bench. Avery’s impact goes deeper than the numbers. She’s a strong athlete, quick-footed as an on-ball defender. Gaw scores on slashes, cuts and steals primarily, but she can stretch the floor when left open. Her biggest game of the season came in the Final Four when she went a perfect 3-3 from beyond the arc against Langston Hughes.
