<p class="text-gray-700">Sheffield delivered the most dominant performance I've witnessed in person all season, exploding for a career high 42 points in a takeover moment that left no doubt who controlled the game. He was electric from everywhere on the floor, knocking down six shots from deep while attacking the rim with tight handles and acrobatic finishes through contact. Every time his team needed a bucket, he answered. More than just a scorer, he's a true leader with poise and confidence and his teammates trust him completely. Add in his relentless defensive effort, and it was a complete, superstar performance from start to finish</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Pensado is unreal to watch because his handle is on another level. The ball looks like it's on a string the way he controls it, weaving through defenders and slicing into gaps that barely exist. He kept the offense flowing all night, never forcing the action but always putting pressure on the defense. When he turned the corner, he was relentless attacking the hole and finishing at the rim with confidence and touch. His 20 points came within the rhythm of the game, but his impact went far beyond the stat sheet</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Covarrubias finished with 8 points, but his impact went far beyond the numbers. At 6'1”, he was the biggest forward on the floor and played even bigger than that. He battled relentlessly against taller opponents, carving out space down low and refusing to give an inch. His physicality and toughness set the tone inside, and he altered the game on both ends with effort plays, rebounds and gritty defense that don't always show up in the box score</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Trejo provided that same kind of winning impact and the type of player who understands his role and executes it to the fullest. He finished with 10 points, but it was how and when he scored that mattered most. Playing fearless from start to finish, he stepped up in big moments and delivered when his team needed it. Whether it was attacking a gap or knocking down a timely shot, Trejo embraced the moment and made it count</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Long showed exactly why he keeps climbing the rankings with another dynamic performance. He flies around the court with nonstop energy, constantly getting downhill, attacking gaps and putting pressure on the defense. If defenders sag off, he's dangerous from deep and makes them pay. He finished with 13 points, highlighted by a buzzer beating half court three to end the first quarter that brought the crowd to its feet and shifted the momentum. His confidence and explosiveness that stand out, Long is a special player who continues to shine every time he steps on the floor</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Schams was the story of the first half, catching fire and completely flipping the game's energy. He drilled five three pointers before halftime, pouring in 19 points and looking unstoppable in the process. Whether he was curling off screens or drifting into open space, he needed just a split second to rise and let it fly. His shooting stretched the defense to its limit. He finished with 21 points, but that first half explosion set the tone for his team</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Anderson was a real problem down low all night, using his size and physicality to wear on the defense possession after possession. He established position early, sealed defenders deep in the paint and made it nearly impossible to stop him once he caught the ball. In the second half, he completely took over, doing everything he could to keep WCA within striking distance. He finished with 21 points, consistently pouring in buckets in the post and cleaning up the glass with authority. His presence inside demanded constant attention and anchored his team's fight to the final buzzer</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cronk was the ultimate do it all presence, giving his team big minutes filled with energy and hustle. He impacted the game in every phase, diving for loose balls, crashing the boards and making the extra effort plays that spark momentum. He chipped in 10 points, but his motor and toughness were just as valuable throughout the night</p>
