Malayah is a lock for the Honorable Mention team thanks to her incredible productivity in limited minutes across both tournament games. A versatile forward, she used her length to disrupt opponents, averaging a block and two steals per game. In the semifinal, Rypien was highly efficient, scoring 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting and grabbing five rebounds in just 13 minutes of action. She continued her steady impact in the championship game, adding six points and three rebounds. Her ability to maximize her time on the floor and provide rim protection made her one of the most effective reserve players in the 4A state tournament.
