Here are the possibilities I can come up with:
(a) Summer dunks for the winning shot (remember that she dunked during
practice once), only to get hurt (so any scholarship opportunities go
out the window) and end up playing for some team in Italy (oops, wrong
strip);
(b) They lose, only for the other team to have to forfeit the game
weeks later when it turns out they had an ineligible player (and never
mind that all of the teams that lost to the team that had the
ineligible player still have their losses count, even though the
player in question was ineligible in those games as well).
And speaking of Summer, am I the only one who sees another "time warp"
happening sometime this summer? (When was the last time an FW
character was seen going to college, anyway?)

or steroid-doping player during or after a championship?

HS junior?
As for twists...have we ever seen any evidence that she likes boys?

Depends on the state.
Remember the book version of "Friday Night Lights"? The team that was
the subject lost a semi-final game in the Texas state tournament; the
other team ended up winning the championship game, but when it was
later discovered that it had some ineligible players (who had played
all season while ineligible), they gave the title to the team that
lost the championship game (and never mind that the FNL team came the
closest to beating them).
In California, on the other hand, when a team won the state girls'
basketball championship and then it was revealed that some of its
players was ineligible, the title was "vacated" and no replacement
champion named that year.
NCAA always "vacates" titles (and doesn't name replacement champions)
when this happens. (BCS did the same thing with USC.)

Wasn't she a freshman at the start of the most recent jump?
(I'm not even sure she is a senior - I remember she got a
season-ending injury last season, and there was one season where she
made a long shot at the buzzer to win the league championship (but I
think that was JV), but I can't remember a third season; she might be
a junior. Unfortunately, I can't find any archives that go back more
than a year.)

That's a legal matter - there's a statutory limit on misery.
