Her [program_tooltip program_id='715766' first='My' last='Sister's Keeper'] 2026 assembling continued its winning ways with a dominant outing against Georgia Elite Sports Invasion 2027. Myles finished the game with 14 points which led all point-getters for the Louisiana-based travel team. Yes, Myles is tall as the rising sophomore standout from Bastrop is listed at 5-foot-11. But she also plays with a high basketball IQ and understands that her bread and butter is her ability to make plays – scoring, rebounding and shot-blocking – while near the rim.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a205e5ec515"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["596288"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThe result that Simpson and the rest of her [program_tooltip program_id='715766' first='My' last='Sister's Keeper'] 2026 team may not have been what it was looking for on Sunday afternoon at Upward Star Center.

Carr's nine points helped eke a victory for the North Carolina-based team and it earned them a berth to the 15U championship game. Carr managed to display throughout the weekend tournament that she has a knack for turning defense into offense. She understands how to get out in transition and is difficult to contain when she combines her speed with ball handling skills. Five of the nine points she tallied occurred in the second half of play.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a205e5ec71f"} /--> <!-- 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":690106,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Raegan McCarn","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Central Davidson MS","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Phoenix Carter 2027","_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":"u003cp style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eMcCarn had Charleston Raptors 2026 saying “darn” (and a few other stronger words) at the conclusion of Sunday's play. McCarn saved some of her best for last this Triumph Region Finals weekend. Her Phoenix Carter 2027 team qualified for the 15U championship game against South Carolina-based Charleston Raptors 2026. McCarn's 11 points were part of the offensive onslaught the North Carolina-based AAU bunch threw at Charleston Raptors 2026. What was a close contest throughout much of the first half became a rout in the second half in large part because of the heroics of the 5-foot-4 standout that previously attended Central Davidson MS. A Circuit championship sounds like an ideal way to transition into one's first season at the high school level, one thinks.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a205e5ec7b3"} /-->
