We will take a dive into the team breakdown the excellent week they had to start the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grayson girls run a fast tempo pace forcing steals on defense leading to easy baskets on offense. Grayson is very active in the passing lanes creating multiple steals and deflections on defense. They like to run a full-court press to limit the number of possessions for the other teams. This makes the other teams guards uncomfortable which leads to fast starts to games. Another thing I noticed as I watched this Grayson team is that they are well-coached and disciplined. They do a great job boxing out and closing out on open shooters consistently. They also do a great job of trapping as well as helping and recovering on the backside line of defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The quick pace of the guards is the key to Grayson's success. Additionally, they all can knock down perimeter shots and can get to the basket at will. A combination of these factors open up scoring opportunities all over the court. Their fast-paced offense along with their active defense has led to Grayson girls basketball getting off to a great start this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["196118"],"_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":"She controls the pace of the game even at her short stature she is in complete control.
