4A King-Co – Team Preview – Eastlake

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eastlake is coming off of a 4A state title last season. They may have lost the tournament MVP but they have help back from injury in [player_tooltip player_id='398494' first='Tatum' last='Wood']. She might be good enough to cancel that out. That's not all, a cast of experience and talent will have Eastlake in the hunt for back to back titles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2022-23 -23-6 (12-1) State 4A champion</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key returning players:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["398493"],"_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":"Go ahead and pencil her in as a player of the year candidate in class 4A.

Tatum is back after missing last season with an injury. Pencil her in as a played-of-the-year candidate as well. She is valuable as a scorer from all levels, an athletic rebounding player who can play anywhere on the floor. She is multi-talented on offense. She has a great shooting stroke beyond the arc and does lots of damage taking it to the basket. She is tough and plays bigger than she is. She had a great off-season in AAU ball.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["730355"],"_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":"It's not a bad thing to have a starter back who has won a title and is 6'1 and versatile. She played a big role in the title run with 7 points and 6 rebounds a game through the season. Another wing player who has that versatile style of play. This team has some length on the perimeter which can be tough on opposing players.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["730378"],"_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":"How about an experienced point guard with a state championship already under the belt? McCoy is that. She didn't do a lot of scoring last season with 4. 1 per game but she is capable. She can make open shots from three and doesn't force things. A steady player who will be counted on to run the show this season. She has plenty of weapons to help her with that.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f908d7f1589"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Predicted 4A King-Co league finish - 1st </h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->
