Much has changed since the turn of the century, if you weren’t there to understand what I’m talking about, never mind, some were actually there and still don’t get it, but the throwback mentality by the Laredo United Lady Longhorns left me with a lasting impression.

Evelyn QuirozEvelyn Quiroz-5’6 G- instant offense is one way to describe her game, she has “that” mindset that she can’t be stopped and she keeps coming at you from every angle or straight down the middle. Her body control and ability to take the hit and finish as well as her mid to long range are all great tools to have as she showed she could stretch the defense and stretch the list of Texas Top 100 2021

She’s poised at a young age and not only her desire to take the big shot but ability to nail it sort of sold me. Her no look passes, her ability to create as well as her upside all caught my attention
