NSP Girls' Basketball Player of the Game vs White Shield 12-29-25
The NSP Wildcats found their rhythm with their leader on the court as junior point guard Claire Braaflat delivered a masterclass performance. In a display of pure basketball IQ and versatility, Braaflat didn't just play the game—she dictated it from the opening tip to the final buzzer.
As the primary ball-handler, Braaflat’s impact went far beyond the box score. While a "double-double" is impressive, Braaflat’s stat line leaned toward a rare territory of dominance. She finished the night with:
16 Points: Providing consistent scoring when the team needed a bucket.
15 Assists: Finding open teammates with surgical precision.
6 Steals: Disrupting the opposition’s flow and turning defense into offense.
5 Rebounds: Showing grit in the paint despite her role on the perimeter.
The 15 assists are perhaps the most telling statistic of the night. It highlights a player who prioritizes the open shot and understands the strengths of her teammates, ensuring that the entire NSP offense stayed in sync.
Other notable stats: Harper Mortensen 31 points, Hailey Thompson 15 points, Jossi Dorval 13 points.
