did a fantastic job slowing down the opposing point guard after that player had a dominating game in the regionals. She had some nice moves hitting her shot from beyond the arc. She hit her teammate with the pass leading to the winning bucket in overtime finding her open from the top of the key.

Mallard Creek having a veteran-laden team was a major element to its state success this season. McGuire is one of three juniors on this season’s team and she placed eight points on the scoreboard. All eight of her points occurred between the second half and overtime. Mallard Creek connected on four of its attempts from behind the 3-point arc. Two of those 3-pointers were McGuire’s – a testament to how she can play in the backcourt at either the one or the two. McGuire’s evening also included a pair of assists and a pair of steals. She also made two free throws in overtime that put the contest away for Mallard Creek.

A pass first point guard. Always has her head up looking for the open teammate. Her biggest strength is her ability to create off two feet with the penetrate and pitch to her shooters. She also does a great job of reading the defense and knowing how to make a post entry pass. Sydney will get down and defend for her team as well.

Sydney is a true facilitator and pass first point guard. She always has her head up and is looking for the open teammate. She does a nice job of penetrating hard to draw the defense that then leads to an open pass. She pushes the ball up the court at a fast pace and controls tempo for the highly talented Mallard Creek team.

became one of the first guards off the bench for Mallard Creek, and that statement in itself says a lot its the talent they had. She comes in to help handle the ball up the court as she remains calm handling any kind of pressure. She is a sharp shooter getting to the opening on her own, and she is consistently looking to get her teammates involved hitting them with the pass. She doesn’t back down from anyone on defense.

showed off her nice shot from deep. She knew when to make the extra pass and when to take the open look. She was all over the court on defense going after loose balls and keeping her opponent in front of her.

brought some life to her team in the second half hitting an old fashioned three point play on a tough take to the rim. She also had some nice cuts to the basket scoring off the pass, and she was making some plays following shots to grab the rebound.

Sydney McGuire is smooth handling the ball blowing by defenders and getting to the basket. She has a way of getting to the open space and rolling the ball off her fingertips being able to finish at the rim on both sides. She knows how to make the smart pass to her teammates hitting them in stride as they cut to the basket while she draws defenders to her.
