AAU Recap: Capitol City Express-DeRose

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was able to catch up with Coach DeRose for a recap of his teams AAU Season. "[program_tooltip program_id='714446' first='Capitol' last='City Express'] - DeRose had a great spring/summer season. We finished 32-10 as a team - winning three tournaments. We're proud to have made it to the Platinum bracket in both Run 4 the Roses tournaments. Beyond the wins and losses columns, our team chemistry is unmatched. Our girls play for one another and know that team comes first. We spent the spring and summer getting better on and off the court and I know that work will show as their High School seasons start!" - Coach DeRose</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is what Coach DeRose had to say about his players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1105912' first='Danielle' last='Cleveland']","_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":"null","_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":"Haslett","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='714446' first='Capitol' last='City Express']","_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":"Danielle is a talented athlete with a super competitive drive.  She will never backdown from a challenge.  Danielle can takeover and win games for her teams, especially as a three-point shooter.  She's very coachable, and a great person, too!
