Junior Avery England scored nine points and had four rebounds and three assists while Camryn Mackey hit a pair of three-point baskets and finished with eight points. Junior Morgan McGee chipped in with six points as well. 

The team shot 40% from the three-point line with five different players making a long-distance basket and also made 15 of their 16 free throws. 

The win captured the Star Valley Lady Braves program their first trophy in the 4A classification as the team finished the season with a record of (18-10) overall. Seniors on the team included Nelson, Mackey, Livy Kleeman, Ruby Hill, Ari Foster and Keira Allred.
