Hazelton can shoot, so it's no surprise that she connected on the game winning triple to defeat Potterville. But I see a whole lot of confidence in her movement. She cut hard from the opposite corner and looked like she wanted the shot the entire time. Hazelton was at the volleyball line, but there wasn't an ounce of hesitation on that shot. She wanted it and coaches at the next level want that confidence.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aa8a8a3d077"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/LC_Pilgrims/status/1748166038246638044?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/LC_Pilgrims/status/1748166038246638044?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one will be a little different. Let's give a shoutout to West Ottawa and their film that featured some excellent defense. When you have players making defensive plays like we see in these clips, that turns into team wins. Let's start with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='854687' first='Magaly' last='Lemus']</strong>. It appeared as if not many shots were safe with the junior center roaming the paint. She came from the help side and blocked a shot, sent one back from behind and even chased down an opponent in transition and swatted the ball away. That's 6 points saved in a matter of seconds. West Ottawa players turned defense into offense by creating turnovers. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='281849' first='Gabrielle' last='Reynolds']</strong> stole multiple passes, taking 1 the length of the floor and drawing a foul and finishing the other for 2. the length of the floor and was fouled.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/wottawagirlsbb/status/1748161354278543472?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/wottawagirlsbb/status/1748161354278543472?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["244259"],"_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":"Miss Video Game Numbers has been at it again. This collection of clips does a nice job showing her vast array of high level skills. Let's start with the little things that are actually huge things. Abney is an effort and hustle player and we can see it in the film. She's willing to hit the floor for a loose ball and chase down boards. Her ability to pull up and shoot is very impressive, she can start and stop on a dime and get her shot off, staying in perfect balance. Abney's mid range game is special.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aa8a8a3d0d8"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/abney_marla/status/1747732685441683954?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/abney_marla/status/1747732685441683954?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='244266' first='Indya' last='Davis']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='244267' first='Summer' last='Davis']</strong> are elite on a national scale and you can see it plain as day in this film clip. They are so smart with the ball, making the right play and the right pass at all times. They are so patient in all aspects of the game. Indya and Summer don't rush and make mistakes. Instead, they trust their skills and execute. It's very impressive the way they both utilize the ability to finish off 1 or 2 feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/DavisTwins123/status/1747686659854827556?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/DavisTwins123/status/1747686659854827556?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
