<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I caught up with some players I hadn't seen in a while and fortunately for me, I caught them at either the Girls TABC Showcase, PGH Top 250 Expo, or even at The Opening so one more time, place yourselves in a position to be seen up close and in person, there's no need to hit me up asking where I'll be because it's always, well usually, <strong><a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/upcomingevents/">listed right here </a></strong>but here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802562"],"_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":"Pastrano continues to smoothly establish herself as one of the top point guards in her class in Texas and I've always enjoyed watching her operate under pressure as far as handling the ball as well as decision making and although I hadn't seen her in quite some time, I definitely saw progression in her already impressive game.

Her explosiveness and understanding how to use her athleticism, on both ends of the court makes her a threat on both ends because her defense can be smothering, baseline t baseline, and watching her not only attack the basket but use some very nice body control on her finishes, after contact was nice, so was her court vision","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["782614"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Konarik falls into a unique category which is appealing to many next level coaches and that is u0022she's a big guard that can shootu0022 and can she shoot it.
