Summer Valles collected Player of the Game honors in all three of TexasMade Elite's games, and her team walked off with the championship. That combination made the MVP case before anyone tallied the points.
The line set the frame: 36 points over 3 games, an average of 12.0 a night, with 4 threes mixed in. She led TexasMade Elite in scoring and finished second in the field.
The signature night came against the 5/6th Spearman Lynxettes, where Valles posted 20 points with 2 threes and took Player of the Game. She followed with a measured outing against the Lady Longhorns, scoring 10 with 2 more threes and another Player of the Game nod. Against LHB she closed the set with 6 points and a third straight Player of the Game, proving the recognition did not hinge on a single scoring total.
The why-them paragraph writes itself from the numbers. Second in the field for scoring. The leading scorer on her own roster. Three Player of the Game honors across three games, a clean sweep from the coaches working the bracket. An MVP run built on a tournament-high contribution and the kind of consistency that read the same in a 20-point game as it did in a 6-point one.
The resolution leaves little to argue. Valles carried the scoring load for TexasMade Elite, drew Player of the Game in every game, and ended the weekend holding the trophy. When the team that wins the title also has the player with the most coach recognition and the second-best scoring mark in the field, the MVP discussion is short. Valles made it short.
