Gayle sparkled in River Ridge's state title victory, hanging 25 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. Gayle shot 11-19 from the field and 3-4 from three. Mataya will be a game-changer in the Ivy League once she gets accustomed to college ball. The best player on the best team in Georgia, talk of her being too inefficient with her shooting back in the summer seems like a distant laughable memory now.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["154582"],"_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":"Henderson tore Warner Robins to shreds with 29 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assist and 7 steals on 11-23 shooting. The elusive playmaking scorer quietly committed to Georgia State and would be a program changer if she stays in Atlanta.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["254161"],"_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":"Jones all but solidified herself as a D-I prospect, carrying Lumpkin County in a lopsided loss, shooting 8-14 from the field for 20 points as the Indians managed just 11 made field goals on the day. Jones' ability to score under pressure and from all levels was on full display.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["248416"],"_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":"It's hard not to tab Beckham as one of 2025's very best prospects and arguably the class's best guard. She blends size, with skill, athleticism and IQ. She changes speeds well and has a soft touch from all three levels. Aubrey is a smooth ball handler with a knack for making plays. She had 16 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["154597"],"_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":"The Mississippi Valley State-signee scored all 17 of her points in the second half, stretching the defense with 5-14 three-point shooting. She hit timely shots throughout as the Bears slipped past Baldwin 51-47.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["218690"],"_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":"Thompson thrived at getting to the line. She's terrific and sliding past defenders and using her body to finish through contact and draw fouls. Tianna posted 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, going 13-15 from the foul line. Thompson hit tough pull ups and did her best to guide Galloway in what was a wild high-pace game.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["384285"],"_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":"Who else but [player_tooltip player_id='384285' first='Diana' last='Collins']? When the Broncos needed plays to be made, it was the Ohio State-signee that rose to the occasion to capture Brookwood's first title. Collins scored 15 of her 21 points in the second half including nine in the fourth quarter as she went 5-6 from the line to keep Brookwood ahead. With Norcross trailing by just three points, it was Diana who came away with the steal with six seconds left to clinch the win.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["253957"],"_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":"Charlton's move from Tallulah Falls to Norcross was a leading factor as to how the Lady Blue were in a position to repeat as state champs. She nearly put the team on her back in crunch time, hitting a late three to draw the game near. Tweedy scored 17 of her team's 39 points, shooting 7-16 from the field and 3-5 from deep while adding 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Charlton has a tremendous nose for the ball and is a great offensive rebounder that crashes in with her bounciness. The 5-foot-4 point guard secured four offensive rebounds against the much bigger Bronco frontline. She's an intriguing prospect for D-II programs and possibly higher.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640fb55a992ca"} /-->
