In my opinion based on performance, she was the top point guard at the showcase.  I love her court presence and energy and how consistent she performs every time.  She is a low maintenance player that is very coachable, a natural leader, and an extension of the coach on the floor.  She was the only player to win two player of the games, as she also was nominated as the top performer in game # 5 on court # 1.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":535303,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Jayda Centeno ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Spruce Creek","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: left;u0022u003eu003c/pu003ernu003cp style=u0022text-align: left;u0022u003eu003cstrongu003eGame 1 / Court 2u003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003ernu003cstrongu003eJayda Centenou003c/strongu003e (Spruce Creek) – 5'2 Point Guard – Class of 2023u003cbru003eu003cbru003eCenteno is a high-level communicator who plays hard and with a ton of energy.  She is a floor general on the court with solid handle, motivates her teammates, and does all the little things.  She is a competitor who plays hard every possession and makes good decisions with the ball in her hands, has a good assist to turnover ratio, and knocks down open shots.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["416320"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":535293,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eGame 2 / Court 1u003c/strongu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='416320' first='Katie' last='Drozd']u003c/strongu003e (Hastings on Hudson) – 6'0 Guard/Wing – Class of 2024 *NYu003cbru003eu003cbru003eDrozd is a highly skilled wing player who shoots a high percentage from the field and is very efficient on offensive end of floor.
