L5: 2-3
PPG: 48.8
OPG: 49.6

Key Players:

#15 (5'9-JR-F) McKenzie Lauffer- 13ppg, 5rpg, 3apg. Lauffer does a little bit of everything for the lady hound's. The junior forward is a smart player and a tough match-up and fits in especially well with the up tempo type of offense that Aurora runs.

#14 (5'3-JR-G) Jamie Nash- 11ppg, 7apg.

OPG: 35.8

Key Players:

#10 (5'7-SR-F) Melea Cook- 17ppg, 6rpg, 2spg, 4orpg, 4ftapg. The Lady Indians were supposed to have a down year this season. With the losses of a star player and also possibly Alex Close to knee problems, there wasn't much hope for a district crown. Yet that didn't deter Melea Cook and the senior has been a big factor in the Indians success. Cook has shot without hesitation this season and has been all over the court picking up rebounds. 10 points, four free throw attempts, five rebounds, three assists, two steals or one block; when Melea does at least four of these things her teams has never lost (9-0).

#23 (5'10-SR-F) Alex Close- 6rpg, 3spg, 75%(FT).

Pierce City

Rec: 14-5
PPG: 55.2
OPG: 40.5

PPG; 56.6
OPG: 34.2

Key Players:

#45 (5'9-SR-F/G) Kara Rosebrough- 21ppg, 58%(FG). Rosebrough is definitely at the centrer of the Eagles offense. The senior has been a star all through her high school years and now looks to finish it off with a bang.

#05 (5'5-SR-G) Jody Lathem- 10ppg, 60%(FG)

East Newton

Rec: 13-10

OPG: 43.2

Key Players:

#34 (6'0-SR-G) Jessica Mitchell- 17ppg, 8rpg, 4apg, 4spg, 3orpg, 6ftapg. Mitchell is Southwest's senior leader and most versatile player. She plays the guard position despite being 6'0. She is a tough match-up problem because of her size, ability to dribble and being able to hit a shot from anywhere on the floor. She is also a very intense defender. Mitchell has not had a game in which she has not done at least three of the following: 10 points, 3-three point baskets, four free throw attempts, five rebounds, three assists or two steals.

#22 (5'8-JR-C) Chelsea Sneed- 15ppg, 8rpg, 2spg, 3orpg, 41%(3P).

PPG: 45.4
OPG: 48.0

Key Players:

#23 (5'4-JR-G) Crystal Lane- 3apg, 2spg, 37%(3P). Lane has been a solid contributor for the Ladycats. She runs the offense for Diamond, leading them in assists. She is third on the team in scoring, but shows a good stroke from beyond the arc.

#12 (5'7-JR-C) Lindsey Gilbert- 8ppg.
