Sloan Kile earned MVP honors with a case that needs little embellishment: she ranked first in scoring across the field, collected a Player-of-the-Game nod in every game she played, and did it on the team that won the championship.
Over 3 games, Kile averaged 6.7 points and totaled 20, the top scoring line in the tournament. She led Pink Storm in scoring. None of her points came from beyond the arc.
The run had a signature beat against WTX, where Kile put up 8 points and walked away with the Player-of-the-Game award. The matchup with LBA brought a quieter 4-point line, but the recognition followed her there too, another Player-of-the-Game honor. Three games, three times the coaches singled her out.
That is the heart of the case. Kile stood first in the field in scoring, she carried her own team's scoring load, and she swept the Player-of-the-Game honors across the bracket. An MVP run built on a tournament-high average and three POG nods leaves little room for argument.
The finish settles it. Kile and Pink Storm won the title, and the run that got them there was the same run that made her the MVP.
