She is a 6'1” Shooting Guard who uses her length to shoot over defenders from beyond the three-point line and has the unwavering confidence all great shooters possess. Reagan is a valuable asset on the defensive end, giving great versatility with her length and athleticism to guard multiple positions effectively.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["349444"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"A 6'3” Forward with an excellent combination of strength and length, Adams made her presence felt in the lane throughout Butler's impressive win over Naperville North. Sereniti rebounds very well at both ends of the court and continues to show a developing collection of post moves with her footwork and ball skills on the low block.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["523043"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Saturday was my first time watching Cooper play in person and she did not disappoint with her high level all-around play. Avery is a very mature and intelligent player who scores and rebounds at a high rate in the lane but can also impact the game on the perimeter with her shooting and ball-handling skills.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["514895"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"A top player in the Freshman Class in Illinois, Walton plays like an experienced Wing with her shot selection and control when the ball is in her hands. At 5'11”, Xyanna can play and defend multiple positions successfully and she showed her ability to score efficiently at every level with a pure jump shot and strong finishes at the basket.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["405900"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"In a fun back-and-forth game against a talented Neuqua Valley squad, Gillis consistently made winning plays late, including a game winning layup just before time expired. Mia is a strong Forward who is active in the lane and uses her ball skills and footwork to maneuver around defenders and finish at the rim.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["335789"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"One of my favorite “under-the-radar” players in her Class, Campanelli is a lengthy 5'10” Guard who shoots the ball well and with a ton of confidence from beyond the three-point line. Anna is an outstanding athlete, and she uses her quick hands to create turnovers and start the break for her team to get easy looks at the other end.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["349441"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Davis is a high scoring Combo Guard who possesses a ton of talent, especially on the offensive end of the court. She is a knock down shooter from beyond the three-point line who isn't afraid to attack the lane with physicality and finish through contact at the basket. Madison is one of those players who the ball is constantly finding due to her constant energy and effort to make a play.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["349442"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Gilbertson is a skilled Small Forward who provides great versatility with her ability to play and defend in the lane and on the perimeter. She can step outside and knock down shots from beyond the three-point line but does most of her damage in the lane with smooth post moves and strong finishing skills at the basket. Anna uses her athleticism and length to guard smaller, quicker opponents and doesn't shy away from physicality against Post players in the paint.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-638e835c19c04"} /-->
