In transition, she pushed the ball out and crossed over in front of the defender to keep her advantage. She stole passes, trapped the posts, and rebounded effectively. Caroline verbally congratulated teammates for their success and was verbally recognized for her effort by teammates on the bench.

I remember seeing this girl play at this scrimmage last year on JV and thinking she would do great things: she did Saturday. Alyson made multiple 3's and her ball pressure on defense was outstanding. She has a relentless motor and will force steals, trap posts, dive on the ground for loose balls, and never quit on a play. She scores at all three levels and moves the ball effectively to open teammates. Alyson will be a great addition to the Eagles back court this season.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["612074"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='612074' first='Lexi' last='Ringley'] got hot for Heritage as the day went on, she drilled mutliple 3's from the wing, and hit multiple pull up jumpers in the mid-range.
