<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Southern WV is loaded with talent. A few freshman are stepping up big for their teams this season. Most parts of the state is covered in snow right now, but I almost guarantee that the athletes mentioned below are finding ways to improve their game. Remember, this is only a few of the freshman in the southern part of the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["840049"],"_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":"According to Max Preps, after 10 games Goodson is averaging 19.6 points, 2.3 assists, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.6 steals per game. That is an impressive stat line for any basketball player on the varsity level. It's extremely special for a freshman! Goodson has recorded numerous double-doubles in the season so far. One of my favorite quotes by Stan Van Gundy is, u0022If you defend, rebound, and limit turnovers, you're going to put yourself in a position where you can win games.u0022 Lacey is doing exactly that. She is a great rebounder that will give an all out effort to crash the boards. She defends at a high level and definitely causes turnovers. Keep your eyes on this young star!","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["840053"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The varsity level is no stranger to Ella! Botts has played on the varsity level for a few years now. According to Max Preps, Ella is averaging 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 3.4 steals. She scores in numerous ways and she proved that when she tallied 19 against Narrows and 23 points against Tug Valley. Ella is an unselfish player that knows how to get her teammates involved. Botts has good court vision with a great feel for the game! Another '27 guard that you need to keep your eyes on!rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["723940"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"According to Max Preps, the freshman is averaging 7.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1 block per game. You will see these stats continue to go up, and don't be surprised when she averages a double-double! Dunlap knows how to use her wingspan and length to her advantage. A smart player that has a great understanding of passing lanes and help defense! Vince Lombardi said it best, u0022The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.u0022 You will never have to question the effort and will that Mya brings to her team!","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["656290"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"All college coaches should have Ava on their radar. The multi-dimensional player is a fun one to watch! She is a true student of the game u0026amp; that is rare in today's time. Workman is a great ball handler with an extremely high IQ! I've watched this one online a few times and I've combed through numerous highlights. Ava has a non-stop motor and she plays with tremendous effort on both sides of the court. She is a good on ball defender that will pick your pocket or draw a turnover. Workman has one of the best crossover moves that you will see too. Ava checks off most of the boxes already and she is only a freshman! Greenbrier East has a great one that will be fun to cover over the next few years. She is one with an extremely high ceiling!","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='840779' first='Ashanti' last='Bonds']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Mount View ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Ashanti is an extremely versatile athlete. Bonds can play and guard numerous positions! She is an athlete that is blessed with size and length, and she knows exactly how to use it to her advantage. In one game this season, she dropped 26 points and pulled down 17 rebounds. She also recorded 7 blocks and 4 steals in that same game. Ashanti does not play like your average freshman on the varsity level. She is athletic and physically gifted! Remember, the great Bill Russell once said, u0022The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.u0022 When you watch Ashanti, you will see how many times opponents have to alter shots. Altering shots and making your opponent miss doesn't show on any stat line. Ashanti is a stat sheet filler plus more! If this one keeps working, her recruitment will take off faster than most!","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a8c3b8f2653"} /-->
