Another highly skilled point guard, Determan has played a significant role at Sauk Centre for several seasons now. On top of her significant experience, the Mainstreeters junior brings stellar court vision, an unselfish attitude, and plenty of energy each time she plays. A scrappy presence on the defensive end and a proficient shooter from beyond the arc, Paige is not one to be outworked.

The way Determan approaches the game is exactly how you’d want any player to do it. She doesn’t give up on plays and keeps going until she hears a whistle. The Sauk Centre guard has a motor that simply doesn’t turn off. She puts pressure on you on both ends, giving up her body diving for loose balls, battling for rebounds or attacking the body of a bigger defender. During The Expo, you could almost see unsuspecting opponents thinking they had a second to exhale, only to look up and see Paige heading the other way with the ball. She doesn’t mind mixing it up and will do whatever it takes to win. Add in a reliable outside shot and you’ve got one heck of a teammate. When she’s not riding opponents all over the court, she’s competing and riding horses. Talk about versatility.

Determan is strong and smooth with the ball in her hands, which gives her the ability to navigate traffic and attack the painted area. She possesses strong mechanics as a shooter and shoots the ball confidently, allowing her to knock down shots in catch-and-shoot situations or off of the dribble. She knocked down a pull-up 3-pointer in transition during her team’s second game for one of the more impressive shots of the day. Her quick hands and strong feel for the game make her an impact player on both ends of the floor.

The floor general from Sauk Centre was all gas no breaks at the Freshman Showcase this past weekend. Determan has a nice strong build which helped her stay under control and ward off defenders while getting into the paint with relative ease. She pushed pace and looked for open teammates and was a pest on defense. While Determan wasn’t in the mix last season for a very successful Sauk Centre squad, she will make it very hard to keep her off the floor this season if she continues to improve and put in the work.
