Paige’s Flu Game at the State Championship

[Bone Dog]

Awesome video of the 2019 State Championship. Paige came down with the flu that morning, and Stillwater HS was a formidable opponent, starting Sarah Scalia and Liza Karlen. They led Hopkins by 5 with 15 mins left in the game… and then the usual Hopkins heroics just took the game over. Watching it will give you a UConn shiver. Paige doesn’t to it all, but she engineered it.

Also, unlike most HS videos, this one has several camera angles and lots of instant replays. A joy to watch this one. Plus, it’s a long time until November.

Thanks so much, Bone Dog. Hopkins really had a wealth of talent.

Even though the caliber of play was impressive for high school girls' basketball, what struck me most was how seamless Paige's transition from this game to being the best college player in the country.

It's worth noting that Maya Nnaji, freshman standout in '19, will be taking her 6'4" talent to Arizona to play for Adia Barnes.
