League Preview- Shelby County Athletic League

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Teams to Watch: Fort Loramie, Anna, Jackson Center</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As usual, Fort Loramie are the favorites in the conference as they return a lot of talent from last year's successful season. Anna also has a pair of talented players back while Jackson Center will make some noise as they have turned things around from a few down years to become a contender again in the conference. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5 Players to Watch</strong></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='849223' first='Avery' last='Brandewie']","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Fort Loramie","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"Strong and aggressive player who reads and reacts to the game well, with good hands and can make the play defensively for her team.
