The 5'9 shooting forward is a lightning quick athlete and the type of player who is so fun to watch because she is always playing at 100%. Her efforts often result in all-around outings like her 7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists, and 1 block against Liberty.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["503178"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='503178' first='Faith' last='Meyer'] is everything you could want in a shooting forward. She can shoot from outside, she can drive from the perimeter, she can post up, and she is an absolute force on the boards. In some notable Metro League performances this year, the senior leader had 13 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, and 2 steals against Southridge, and she had a monster double-double with 16 points, 15 rebounds, and 2 assists at Sunset. Meyer has the Beavers at second in league with high hopes for a deep postseason run.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["851801"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='851801' first='Rowan' last='Davis'] is a double-double machine, who is likely to have one every game. The power forward is dominant on the glass and anywhere around the rim, and is frequently the leading scorer for the Axe. In a recent Southwest Conference game, she went for 19 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal against Roseburg. At 5'10, Davis is long and lanky with great instincts to get her hands up to create tips, steals, and blocks on the defensive end.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["851251"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='851251' first='Clara' last='Hudson'], senior captain for La Salle, is another notable shooting forward on the 2024 rankings list. The 5'10 sharpshooter knocks down a few from deep just about every game for the Falcons while going to work on the glass and playing inspired defense. In her last two games, Hudson went for 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists, and 1 block in the big win over Canby; and then had 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists against Hood River Valley. She is a shining example of versatility, wearing all sorts of hats in order to help her squad get the win.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["502351"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"North Eugene's talented power forward, [player_tooltip player_id='502351' first='Emily' last='Hardrath'] has made a name for herself in the paint over her four-year career. Hardrath is a great rebounder who is quick to outlet the ball up the floor to her teammates, or also has the ability to dribble it out herself with her high-level ball handling. She makes big plays constantly at the center of the Highlanders' defense. She is almost like a big guard with her skill set and her 5'10 size and strength, and she will continue to impress in the rest of her senior season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ca78d6a9010"} /-->
