From the Burlington Free Press article (https://bit.ly/3LtDxaK) Unsung heroes: 10 girls basketball players who do the 'little things' to help their teams:
Every team needs them. Unsung heroes who impact games beyond the box score or score sheet - players who don't necessarily score to add their value for successful programs.
They provide the "little things" to help their teams win - from lockdown defense and leadership to hustle plays and in-game execution - and they generally do so without the fanfare and headlines.
This feature intends to recognize such a player who deserves some spotlight.
Tegan Hoard, Fair Haven - An undersized power forward, the senior Hoard is very active on the defensive end, draws a number of over-the-back calls because of good box-out technique and has the ability to contribute offensively when given the chance.
"She uses her body really well and isn't afraid to go up against people taller than her on a nightly basis," Fair Haven coach Kyle Wilson said. "She's a tremendous worker and has really improved from freshman year until now."
This season, Hoard hasn't missed a foul shot and averages four rebounds and about one steal per game.
