In the first half she was playing much bigger than her height. Even as a guard, Houck was putting her back to the basket and working effectively off the block. She utilized a pretty baseline floater score as well as a swooping drive that led to 2 points.

Simpson is known as an athletic scorer, but her defense stood out to me. She played denial D on the perimeter and played the passing lanes as well. Simpson really displayed a high defensive IQ. She had a handful of steals in the win against Black River. Simpson was incredibly patient on offense, not forcing up shots for the sake of numbers. She flaunted a nasty right to left crossover that ended up in her going to the free throw line.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Kenzie Brothers","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Black River","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Brothers was fast with the ball in her hands and was constantly working to get downhill with the ball in her hands.
