Paige McKavish’s well-rounded game and versatility are a giant piece for Clarke County. I mentioned earlier, when talking about Paige’s sister Alainah, that Clarke County loves to get out and run. One of the things that makes it work is that both McKavish sisters have the length to rebound and the skill to push the ball after a board. Paige did that a number of times today. She had a huge sequence in the middle of the 3rd quarter that kick-started a Clarke County run that they never looked back from. She blocked a fast break lay-up, got the rebound, pushed it full court, then delivered a pass to Alainah that she could not convert. Paige still followed that miss, getting an and-1 putback lay-up. You get a two-way star in Paige, and she now has two state titles in her first two years. She finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 3 blocks.
