She displayed great instincts on defense as she darted into passing lanes for steals and was disruptive on the full court press.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":822866,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_8135.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-822866" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='554959' first='Evelyn' last='Shane'] (Ursuline Academy): The 6'0 2026 forward scored a game high 24 points on Thursday night. She's a dynamic athlete with a motor that never stops. When her team fell behind 11-0, they put the ball in her hands and she repeatedly attacked downhill and she got Ursuline back into the game. You are never cheating with the effort she puts in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":822873,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_8127.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-822873" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='488377' first='Zha' last='Harris'] (Lift for Life): A 5'5 2026 guard who scored 16 points on Thursday night. She set the tone early on offense with three 3-pointers in the opening minutes of the game. She's a tough cover with her speed and blow-by quickness to accompany her :-point shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":689057,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/IMG_4346.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-689057" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='803070' first='Amaya' last='Manuel'] (Lift for Life): A 5'7 2027 guard who had a team high 19 points along with six assists.
