Preps of the week
"Carson has been playing since his freshman year and was a three-year starter for us," said coach Scott Hunt. "His experience was something we relied on all year."
Christensen, who stands only 6-foot-1, anchored the middle of South Sevier's trapping-zone defense, the reason all the players and coaches said the team captured the title.
"He is so athletic and quick that he was able to do whatever we asked of him out on the floor," Hunt added. "He is just such a smart player. He did all the little things we needed from him."
The maturity, adaptability, athleticism and leadership of this sophomore point guard led the Eagles to their first girls basketball title since 1981 last weekend.
Jackson led the Eagles offensively against Mountain View in the 5A finals with 21 points, six rebounds and two steals. She hit five 3-point shots and then ran the Eagles spread offense in the fourth quarter, which increased the team's lead from one point to 10.
"The amazing thing was how the team responded to her," Bennett said. Jackson is an honor student who also participates in golf.
