Janine Aldridge (’08) – An extremely precise three-point shooter who can hit it off the dribble or off the pass; she could not be stopped coming off wing ball-screens in her Long Island Lightning's Quarterfinal victory versus The Bay. State Magic Elite 90; any defender that ducked under the screen was giving up an open trey look to Aldridge - and she didn't miss much.

J'Quita Babineaux ('08) – Babineaux is a gazelle of an athlete who plays much bigger than her 5-foot-11 frame; but, more than that, her will to win is something that simply can not be taught; with both the Quarterfinal & Semifinal games hanging in the balance, she literally willed herself to both offensive and defensive boards that helped seal the improbable victories for her Lessons Learned team; she plays like she is on a mission.

Diamond Beckford ('09) – Showing a low-post & a mid-post offensive repertoire, the future is bright for this athletic and strong 5'10 forward who plays bigger than her height; she has the potential to be like a Susan Moran, the former star post player, out of St. Joseph's University, who stands just under 6 feet.

Maddie Burnett (’08) - This sharp-shooter has range, a very quick release, and is clutch; each time it seemed that her Lacks West Michigan team might be losing some momentum in the 2nd half of their Quarterfinal upset win over The Rebels, Burnett would get loose beyond the arc, spot up, and – bang!- stop the bleeding.

Chelsea Dunn (’08)– Lessons Learned has the quickest player in the tournament in Dunn, and she knows how to use her natural talents effectively; her on-the-ball defense is disruptive on ballhandlers as she often forces them into poor wing-entry passes, and her off-the-ball defense is extremely sound as she knows when to deny a passing lane, when to early-help, and when to rotate down across the low-post and help-the-helper.

Devon Kane ('09) - The Comets guard can shoot, penetrate & finish in traffic, get to the foul line, and, oh yeah, is as competitive as they come; her never-quit attitude helped almost pull off a miraculous comeback in her team's semifinal defeat.

Lauren Massie (’08) - Smart, tough, high basketball IQ, nice touch on her jumper, can finish in traffic, and clearly has tremendous leadership skills; Massie helped her Lessons Learned teammates keep their collective poise in thrilling Quarterfinal & Semifinal victories.

Rosie Tarnowski (’08) – She did everything she could to help spark her team in their quarterfinal loss. She rebounded, defended, got possession balls, and finished putbacks on a day that most of her Lady Runnin Rebels' teammates were just a little bit off-kilter.

Sarah Thorn (’08) – This heady point guard navigates The Lady Runnin Rebels ship with precision, leadership, poise, intelligent pace, and plays off-the-ball defense as well as she plays on-the-ball defense; when The Rebels made any of their little 2nd-half runs in their Quarterfinals defeat, it was by no coincidence that it was when Thorn was in the game.

Quistelle Williams (‘09) - This modern Charles Barkley-type drew many a positive comment with her physical style of play, her relentlessness on the offensive boards, her soft touch around the rim, and her Sir Charles-like power dribbling out of the paint off her defensive boards & then leading the ensuing run-out the other way with her Lacks West Michigan teammates filling the transition lanes.

Emma Veach (’08) - The athtletic combo guard is an absolute joy to watch play; she plays with energy and intensity for her Lacks West Michigan team; she takes the ball to the basket with authority, finishing with both her right and her left.
