Game 3: 2A Select vs 1A Select

[StAlbertSportsFan @Stalbertsprtfan]

A special thank you to Brady Smith (26’), Kellen Underwood (26’), St. Albert School Board President Chad Hannan (02’), and Jesse Shea (02’) for their 6-Basketball Tournament broadcasts in the past two weeks. Between the Saintes and Falcons, there have been nearly 6,000 broadcast views in the last two weeks, with an estimated 15,000 total viewers.

Brady and Kellen will be joining the remote studio, with Lexi Narmi (24’) (UIowa), when they both head off to Iowa State University in the Fall.

OWU: Talent Projection – Conceptually Thinking
Avah Underwood (2026) – St. Albert (Council Bluffs, IA) @WayneStateWBB @Avah51812195

6’0 Wing / Combo Forward | Nebraska Supreme | Wayne State (D2 – NSIC) Commit

Multi-positional connector with glass equity and interior efficiency.

Avah Underwood’s statistical profile clarifies the projection band.

12.3 points.
11.5 rebounds (4.7 offensive, 6.8 defensive).
2.4 assists.
1.9 steals.
2.0 blocks.
1.8 turnovers.
47.6% from the field.

58.3% from the line.
Assist-to-turnover ratio: 1.38.

PRODUCTION AND OFFENSIVE ANALYSIS

At 6’0, averaging 11.5 rebounds per game with 4.7 on the offensive glass, the clearest translatable trait is motor plus positioning. Offensive rebounding at that rate is not accidental. It reflects timing, anticipation, and willingness to play through contact.

Field goal percentage at 47.6% with zero three-point conversion indicates interior-heavy shot distribution. This supports the working hypothesis: her leverage is slashing, cutting, sealing, and second-chance scoring rather than shooting gravity.

FACILITATING AND BASKETBALL INTELLIGENCE

2.4 assists against 1.8 turnovers produces a positive 1.38 A:TO ratio. That matters.

For a wing-forward profile, this indicates connective processing rather than tunnel scoring. She is not operating as a high-usage ball-dominant guard, but she is also not a possession-stopper. The earlier 8-assist single-game indicator aligns with this connective band.

DEFENSIVE AND COMPETITIVE CHARACTER

1.9 steals and 2.0 blocks per game at 6’0 is structural impact. That is event creation from the wing spot.

Combined with 11.5 rebounds and low foul rate (1.6 per game), the defensive profile suggests anticipation and activity without reckless gambling. This is the statistical signature of a player who plays within team structure.

State title context plus Player of the Year recognition confirms competitive credibility inside her classification. The question is not toughness. The question is scaling.

PHYSICAL PROJECTION AND SCALABILITY

6’0 is viable size for NSIC 2–4 positional defense. She will not be undersized.

What determines minutes is lateral mobility and shooting development.

SYSTEM FIT EVALUATION

Wayne State is a logical alignment. Strong D2 programs value size, rebounding equity, and defensive activity from wings.

Immediate translation band: rotation-level contributor who rebounds and defends across spots.
Upside band: starting combo forward who provides 10–12 points, double-digit rebound pressure, and secondary facilitation.

THE @coachbeechum VERDICT

Avah Underwood projects as a high-motor combo forward whose value is rooted in rebounding dominance, defensive event creation, and connective offense.

Her game is not built on perimeter shot gravity or isolation scoring. It is built on accumulation.

Development ceiling is directly tied to shooting reliability and lateral mobility growth. Those two variables determine whether she becomes a role-stable NSIC starter or a rotational energy piece.
