I [player_tooltip player_id='238886' first='Hope' last='Drake'] was the most excellent player in this game. Briar took an early lead, but Stone Bridge made a lot of big shots and went on a lot of mini-runs. [player_tooltip player_id='238886' first='Hope' last='Drake'] answered Stone Bridge's punches and had another clutch performance. Hope knocked down 3 threes, two of them being consecutive, following a string of Stone Bridge buckets. Hope had a couple of really nice passes as well. Hope finished with 17 points and 7 rebounds to lead Briar to its first Regional title.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='864029' first='Giuliana' last='Bohmer'] ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Briar Woods ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='864029' first='Giuliana' last='Bohmer'] did not have a huge game numbers-wise. But what impressed me was that she was forced into being the lead guard because of an injury to [player_tooltip player_id='260955' first='Tia' last='Chen'], one of the better PGs in NOVA. Giuliana makes her mark on games as a great spot-up shooter. She still knocked down 2 of those, but how well she did with the added responsibility of being the primary ball handler was impressive.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["468759"],"_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":"I've sometimes felt [player_tooltip player_id='468759' first='Sravya' last='Janapati'] needs to look for her offense more. That was not the case against Briar Woods. Sravya attacked the rim well and had some excellent takes. She then got going with her shot from range in the second half, knocking down a few threes. With how good of a shooter Sravya is, she will have opportunities to get to the rim. She didn't settle for the entire game and played very well.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["389125"],"_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='389125' first='Georgia' last='Simonsen'] took over the second half of the regional final against Woodson. Georgia's movement off the ball was excellent, and she found herself open near the rim all game. Woodson had problems stopping her from the post, and she did what she wanted in the paint. Georgia was also phenomenal on the defensive end, and she finished with 27 points in another dominant performance.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["597331"],"_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":"I've watched a lot of [player_tooltip player_id='597331' first='Madison' last='McKenzie'] games over the past few years, and she almost always impacts games positively. Her performance against Osbourn Park may have been one of her best. Gainesville lost this game by 2, but they had a lead for a large chunk of this game due to Madison. She was terrific in transition, forced turnovers, and had an overall dominant offensive game. She knocked down a handful of threes and was close to leading Gainesville to one of the year's biggest wins.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["555428"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"What helped put Osbourn Park over the edge in this game was their defense in the 4th quarter.

Keyarah is such an elite athlete she is hard to stop in transition.
