High Plains Storm Capture the Title with a 36-34 Final

The journey to the crown read 6-1. Across those seven games the Storm scored 37 points a game while holding opponents to 23, a steady balance of offense and defense that carried them through the bracket. Many of those games were decided by a handful of points, including a title game settled by just two.

What stands out is how the scoring was shared. Taylyn Livengood led the way with 79 points over seven games, but she rarely stood alone. Sage Rivera added 41 points and was a steady second source of offense. Kree Weaver chipped in 37, and Corie Dixon contributed 28. Gracyn Peters put up 25 points across the run.

The depth kept coming. Josie Cash scored 16 points, and Bristen Beckley added 12. Brynlee Morris scored 10, Mazden Marshall added 6, and Avery Castanon chipped in 3. With nearly the whole roster finding the scoresheet, this was a true team effort.

When the honors were handed out, the work paid off. Taylyn Livengood was named Tournament MVP, and she earned All-Tournament recognition alongside Kree Weaver. Both names were well earned after seven games of steady contribution.

Every player on this roster was part of the title. Bailey Peters appeared in 6 games for the Storm, and Yahaira Rubio suited up for all 7. Their presence rounded out a group that did it together. From the leading scorers to the players who showed up game after game, the High Plains Storm leave this tournament as champions, and they did it as a team."}
