Finishing the game with 23.. she put up 20 in the first half. The ability to switch gears, switch roles but still remain yourself is a hard task, Aubrey does it with no problem. Her IQ and confidence are sky high. She's a risk taker, a true floor general, and a hell of a lockdown defender.. which doesn't get mentioned enough (soccer star as well). The bright lights, the crowd and the magnitude of these games are high.. Aubrey's skillset is meant for these moments. She's ready to bring a different type of flash to Redbird Arena.u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["148164"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":334605,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eThe true captain of this team. Lexi's attitude, aggressiveness and persona are written all over this program. She's fiery, determined and is an absolute hell of a basketball player, let alone a top guard in this state. The ball control is strong, the vision is pinpoint and 20/20, and the scoring ability at a three levels is crafty but so efficient. Kerstein is looking to add that state ring to her collection of awards before she takes her talents to UVM this fall. The Warriors are going to need her leadership going into this weekend. She leads by example and by voice... She'll have her team ready to go. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["203249"],"_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":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eComing into the season as a potential POTY. DCE has put up strong numbers to fight that case, and hold an argument. This trip to Redbird Arena might solidify even more reasons why she should be heavily considered. From a skill view, there's not much that she can't do. Three level scorer, perimeter and post defender, and can play off the ball. The Western Michigan commit is ready to bring all of that talent to the big state this weekend. She's one part of an elite dynamic duo that can put pressure on a team from start to finish.. a state ring is not far fetch. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Becca Heitzig","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Lincoln","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003ePlaying alongside a top tier talent can overshadow a lot of players who are significant to the success of the team. Heitzig importance to this team is strong and you can tell that by the way she implements herself in the game.. without forcing it. She has this sweet midrange pull up, that most players at this level can't get too. She does the little things, the needed things and the things that every coach loves. It seems like she takes pride in  just doing her job, and whatever the team needs. The scouting report will be geared towards her teammate, but Becca will make an impact on these games. One player doesnt put you in the position to go into State undefeated. Lincoln will be ready to show up. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["265969"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":597074,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eThere's not many players in the state that can match Austin's physical stature, athleticism  and overall versatility to play the 3-5. While her skillset is still being put together, she uses her natural gifts to insert her self in each game. She can score from the post, knockdown the midrange and the three when open. Her importance in this program is necessary.. especially when most teams don't have what Naz has as far size and athleticism. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["405512"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":607704,"_player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eWhen you watch Danni play, you realize the kid was blessed with a long list of skills that require tons of work off the court, but also gifts that are just heaven sent. She has the size of a post, but the bag of an elite guard. She can finish through, around, and or over the defense. She can catch and rip from the outside and maneuver her way through defenders with a quick couple moves. Put her on the block, she can power her way to a bucket. Her overall play style can propel this team to a state ring when she gets it going. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["500949"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":607705,"_player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eThe other half of the strong backcourt is Mary Bridget.. and she just does everything right. Even if its a mishap, the initial thought was a team first decision. She doesn't have an agenda on that court. Her job is to facilitate, score when needed, and be as pesky as she can on the opposite side of the ball. Wilson does that and more. Can score at all levels, and can defend most guards who are put in front of her. What she brings to the program is focus and security. Mistakes are rare when she's controlling the tempo. She seems poised and balanced.. which will be needed for the program this weekend. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fe441d8352d"} /-->
