State Championship: Heights vs Shawnee Mission

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ring season is on the line! 2 power house teams battle it out, heights come in with 1 loss under their belt and Shawnee mission comes in with an undefeated record. Who takes home the championship trophy and what players had something to do with it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2209778' first='Ethan' last='Taylor'] - Standing at a legit 7'0 tall, he clogs up the lane on the defensive side of the ball and forces you to second guess your shot when attacking the paint. He's a good passer as a big so when he's posting up he's constantly finding his shooters when defenders collapse on him. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1588348' first='Keaton' last='Wagler'] (#3)- Keaton started out the game on fire with 2 big 3s at the top of the key getting this cougars team fired up for the championship game. His ability to stretch the floor opens the lanes up for the rest of his teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1372285' first='Aven' last='Mboule']- When the falcons started to struggle on some possessions offensively Aven came through with 2 big 3s to keep his team rolling with energy in the first quarter. Hes been extremely efficient behind the line and somebody they can rely on behind the arc. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alven Riley (#15)- Riley hit some big jumpers for his cougars team. From momentum changing 3s to and one pull up jumpers, he's as clutch as they come and a big reason for their undefeated season leading into the post season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1270090' first='TJ' last='Williams']- What we loved about TJ in the championship game was his ability to attack and be aggressive. Despite the size of Shawnee Mission, he went right at the chest of his opponents and played stifling defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
