The statistics mentioned here are not official but were recorded by me at courtside and should be fairly accurate. There is a lot more to the game than scoring and several girls impressed with their skills and intangibles. A perfect example of this was Mckenzie Leigh who was on a team with several scorers and proved she could score with 13 points in the first game but was not called on to score as much in the remaining two games. However, she was a major contributor in these games with all around play and shows the ability to either play with her back to the basket or step out and knock down the jump shot.
