Foreman may wear No. 7 for Team Xposure 16U, but her success on the court can be more attributed to skill rather than luck. Foreman finished with eight points which ran its record at the time to 2-0 for this season's Deep South Classic with the win over Lowcountry Premier Ballers 2025 16U. Defensively, she gives opposing teams and coaches fits as she can stick to an opposing ball carrier like glue. Foreman is also willing to play the game on contact where she has no problems getting to the free throw line. Included in her overall offensive arsenal is the ability to drain her 3-point attempts.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644b47342b297"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":641683,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1049839' first='Zion' last='Oge']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Parkside","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Team Xposure 16U","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Oge brings plenty of size and versatility to her Team Xposure 16U bunch.

A great deal of what Oge gets accomplished on the court is near the rim – whether it is high-percentage shots or prowess as a rebounder. Defensively, she is a consistent threat to corral steals.

Her offensive versatility was displayed with her ability to knock down shots from downtown. Johnson also does plenty of the little things that may not necessarily appear on a scoresheet – such as hustling for loose balls.

Lesher was one of those three. She managed to display her willingness to take midrange jumpers and also displayed how effective she can be as a shot blocker. Lesher understands how to get in position for high percentage shots and also understands that her activity away from the ball can set her team up nicely for new schemes and plays on the offensive end of the court.

It was a 14-point performance for the standout from the Baltimore area. Nine of those 14 were scored in the first half when Team Mid-Atlantic Legacy had established a lead over Lowcountry Premier Ballers 17U.

That mentality particularly shows itself when hustling for loose balls. Those may not show up on a scoresheet, but it will stay in the memory of many a coach when deciding who to allot playing time to.

Whittington is anything but shy about attempting shots from distance – and she drained a couple of them in the first half that accounted for six of her seven points. In addition, she will go after her fair share of rebounds and the defense she plays can leave plenty of teams prone to turning over the ball. When she has the ball in her hand, she can attract double teams – a sign of the respect opposing teams have for her skillset.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644b47342b6d5"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
