Led by [player_tooltip player_id='376324' first='Sanai' last='Green'], who is arguably Virginia's best player in her class. [player_tooltip player_id='524575' first='Ella' last='Grace Saunders'] played her second year of varsity ball this year, and she will grow into a fantastic player. Even though her percentages don't show it, she's a good shooter and had some big games shooting the three this year. Her release is quick and natural, and I also love her ability as a rebounder. She will raise that 3-point % next year, and you will hear her name more next year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"D'Shlea Walker ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Warhill ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"D'Shlea Walker is a complete basketball player who does it on both ends.

But Keeniya Kelly was a critical piece to a fantastic Hopewell team. She played hard and finished the year averaging 11.1 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 4.3 SPG.

She averaged 10.4 RPG this year and did it playing against some of the best competition in the state. Clare has good defensive instincts and has a chance to excel on that side of the floor.

Her game revolves around her shooting, but I've seen flashes of her developing other parts of her game. If she does that, she will find herself in the rankings.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64570a95c230a"} /-->
