clear creek amana , number one, their best player, she was fantastic in the quarterfinal.

iowa basketball fans are familiar with triple-double.

>> she almost got the triple- double .

She was one assist away from getting the triple-double.

her coach calls her a swiss army knife , she can do a little bit of everything.

she scores, rebounds , and what she has added to her game, she sees the floor so much better and is passing the ball so much better.

that is why she almost got a triple-double.

>> clear creek amana is undefeated , top-seeded , they defeated the 3a champ in the regular season.

to win the championship, you have the term, defense , do you know anything about it?

>> i don't, i just shot the ball.

defense does win championships .

they started out the season playing a 1-3-1, difficult to score on.

they changed to man to man.

they needed the 1-3-1 in the semis.

>> waverly-shell rock is undefeated, eggena is another , i don't need to use twin towers , but the double threat in the post .

>> she can go block to block, dig in the post and 10 step out and shoot the free-throw line jumper.

a good running mate with emma thompson.

goes to the glass very hard and gives her team action >> we have news in the pregame show , a question about waverly- shell rock.

double-digit scorer , the coach's daughter, held well below average.

the question is lizzy frazell, she was injured in the last second of the semifinal game and not sure if she can go tonight.

what does that mean for the coach?

>> somebody will have to come in and pick up the scoring slack if she cannot go.

bodensteiner will have to find her shot.

maybe put it on the floor and get an easy bucket.

jaidyn sellers gets the rebound and panorama win 39-36. allie will be on the call.

2005, ankeny has just won the title for the fourth time in a row.

dike-new hartford could join them.

>> love that you can point out the change.

let's talk history , three-time volleyball champions, going for four.

peterson has been in the middle of it, captain of volleyball , three times in basketball, off to that pace already.

what does she do so well on the basketball court mike max >> payton petersen does it all, everywhere, offense , defense, she can score , she can dish it to her teammates, she can block and steal, she is a competitor and knows what it takes to win games.

>> panorama trailed at halftime.

my question, do they feel like david against goliath ?
