Lady X Tournament

In one of the more exciting Championship games at the Lady X Tournament Millennium defeated Perry in an overtime thriller in which Tournament MVP Kassady Dixon delivered a last second assist to Sophomore Guard Mia Amundsen, who was able to drain a game winning 3 as time expired.  The matchup showcased the 2018 Champion vs the 2019 Champion.   While this year's tournament did not have all the perennials powers that it usually showcases, presumable due to it postponement from its June slot due to the the pandemic, it did not disappoint in terms of game play and excitement.  What follows are some take a ways that we have about the teams that made the Lady X Tournament a success in 2020.   Millennium (Finished #1 with an Overtime victory over Perry) is still talented.  They have a D1 committ in Kassidy Dixon (GCU) and a top 5 Freshman in Ellie Guiney.  However they are not still a defensive minded program. In the past the Tigers would hang their hat o...

5A Contender: Gilbert

The Tigers have completely owned the East Valley for the past 4 years.  They have made 4 straight trips to the Final 4 in both 6A and 5A.  Each of those trips they fell to West Valley powers Millennium or Valley Vista.  Once, 2019, they were able to make it to the championship game, but fell again to Millennium.  But against the rest of state and particularly the East Valley, they have won an astonishing 88 games with only 1 loss in that 4-year span.  They truly have dominated the East Valley.  Now with Millennium and Valley Vista losing so many top players to graduation and Prep Schools, is 2021 the year the Gilbert can win a 5A Championship? Time will tell. The Tigers graduated 33 points a game from its 2020 Final 4 team.   But with seniors graduation, comes plenty of opportunity for younger players to contribute in 2021.   They will be led by some players with extensive varsity experience.   One of these players is Nicole Evenson.  ...

5A Contender: Sunrise Mountain

The rise of Sunrise Mountain has been nothing less than spectacular.   In 2015 they finished the season with just 6 victories, the next season 8 wins, and by 2017, 9 wins.   All losing seasons.   Then in 2018, they finished with a 0.500 record at 13-13.   2019 followed with a 19-win season, a home playoff victory and a round of 16 loss to Horizon.   Next was 2020.   The Mustangs made it all the way through an undefeated regular season, several home play off victories, and a trip to ASU to match up in the Title Game with defending champ, Millennium.   The game didn’t go as planned, ending with a 29 point loss and a runner up trophy.   Now comes 2021.   The perfect ending for the team on the rise is a 5A State title, and they have the roster and path to make it a perfect ending.   If the Mustangs are going to cut the nets down in ‘21, they will lean heavily on some players from the 2020 team.   First is Senior Julie Diveney, a light...
