Paetyn Peterson
Paetyn has truly been an all-star for us this year, excelling in scoring, assists, and as a top-notch rebounder. We couldn't be prouder of her exceptional performance on Thursday, especially considering she wasn't feeling her best. It was reminiscent of MJ's legendary "Flu Game," and her resilience provided the spark we needed to secure the win. Fantastic job, P!

We've been fortunate to have Zoie as an outstanding player this year. She's taken on the role of a skilled ball handler, effectively running the offense. This week, she expanded her repertoire by adding assists to her game, and it's making a tremendous impact on the team! Zoie's contributions are truly invaluable.

I have to give a share of AOW to these two girls because of not only the way they played on Thursday, but prepared in the weeks leading up to the first game.
