Gainesville has an amazing freshman duo in the front-court, but [player_tooltip player_id='597331' first='Madison' last='McKenzie'] ties them together. She's averaging 15.2 PPG, 3.4 APG, and 3.3 SPG.

She is one of the best guards in NOVA and showed why all year. She makes the right pass and initiates a lot of PVIs offense. She has a solid mid-range game and can knock down open shots. People expected a lot of Shores before the season started, and she lived up to it.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["376362"],"_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":"Centreville was fantastic all year, and that has to be attributed to the play of [player_tooltip player_id='376362' first='Jahniya' last='Marion']. The Concorde district player of the year was a beast all season. She plays with an edge, and her passion for the game was displayed all season. Jahniya is a fantastic athlete; her quickness helps her consistently get to the rim. She uses an excellent midrange game effectively when getting by her defenders.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["296737"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='296737' first='Keira' last='Scott'] came into the season as one of if not the most highly touted juniors in NOVA. Keira was fantastic when she was on the court this year and had a lot of big performances. Unfortunately, she got hurt, forcing her to miss some time. She is a matchup nightmare because of her length and skill, and in the somewhat limited time she had this year, she showed she's one of the best wings in NOVA.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["238886"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='238886' first='Hope' last='Drake'] has been phenomenal all year and the most significant reason Briar Woods has been so good.

She was tremendous on defense and stepped up when her name was called. The thing I love about [player_tooltip player_id='238889' first='Laura' last='Williams']'s game is how hard she plays. Her post-game and touch around the rim improved significantly this year, and she will be one of the most sought-after recruits in Virginia this AAU season.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f8fe34e12e6"} /-->
