She patrols the paint with her ability to alter and challenge shots on the defensive end.

Reagan keeps the ball up high after claiming it off the glass and can finish with both hands around the cup. Reagan at times feels comfortable shooting the ball from downtown as a face-up post. She averaged 7.3 ppg last season - and look for those numbers to climb this season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["268140"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":408306,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Scott will be here for the Lady Rams to carry the bulk of the scoring production come this season.
