This fantastic freshman is currently averaging 22.5 PPG in 8 games played so far this season, and in the 3rd week of the season she scored a career-high 40 points at the historic Wayland Gymnasium in the Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. She is a 3-point specialist, crafty finisher at the rim, and a scrappy defender that brings passion and energy to floor. The sky is the limit for Cotham and I believe she will continue to play at a high level for the rest of the season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658b97e88ba57"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["721595"],"_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":"The Bullitt Central Lady Cougars headed into the Christmas break with a 7-2 record on the season, leading the attack is their standout freshman [player_tooltip player_id='721595' first='Cami' last='Bickett']. She is averaging 16.9 PPG along with 6.4 RPG leading the team in both categories, while shooting an efficient 36.2% from three. I should also mention that she had an impressive 30-point performance in week 2 of the season against Collins. Bickett is a workhorse on both ends of the floor and impacts the game in many ways, I see her finishing the season on a high note.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658b97e88bab5"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747656"],"_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":"There's not a freshman in the state that competes harder from end to end than the South Laurel starting point guard [player_tooltip player_id='747656' first='Shelbie' last='Mills']. She is a gusty player and a natural leader that can carry the scoring load but also elevate the play of her teammates. Mills leads the Lady Cardinals in scoring with 20.3 PPG and she is doing it in style, making her claim as one of the top players in the 13th region.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658b97e88bb04"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["570254"],"_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":"Transferring from Lafayette to Paul Laurence Dunbar is working out well for [player_tooltip player_id='570254' first='Layla' last='Flynn'] this season. Now that she is the focal point and has more opportunity to show what she can do her game is starting to flourish. She has blazing speed, a great handle, solid jump shot and very good body control that allows her to finish through contact at the rim. Flynn leads the Lady Bulldogs in scoring with 11.4 PPG and looks like she is starting to find her groove and will grow more and more confident as the season goes along.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658b97e88bb4d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["494689"],"_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":"The sharpshooting [player_tooltip player_id='494689' first='Elin' last='Logue'] is off to a pretty good start as a freshman for Walton-Verona this season.
