[player_tooltip player_id='239387' first='Kennedy' last='Parrott'] was no exception to this, having a subpar first half to his standards. But like most of this Centreville team, Kennedy showed up in the second half. She got her deadly mid-range working and had a few great finishes at the rim. Kennedy is a great athlete, and it allows her to jump over defenders to get her shot off. She also used her athletic ability on the glass all night, collecting a team-high 7 rebounds. Kennedy showed why she was the Concorde district player of the year and finished with a team-high 22 points.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["509490"],"_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":"One of the only Centreville players with a good first half was [player_tooltip player_id='509490' first='Sofia' last='Caraus']. Sofia is one of the best spot-up shooters in the state and one of the best bench players. She knocked down her first 5 threes and continued her recent tear of elite shooting. She finished with 17 points and 4 rebounds.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Ella Nhek","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Gainesville ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Gainesville had a tough night shooting the three, especially [player_tooltip player_id='597331' first='Madison' last='McKenzie'], who couldn't buy one from three all game. Centreville let Gainesville shoot all day by design of their zone, and Gainesville just couldn't knock shots down. Ella Nhek was one of the only players with a good game as a jump shooter for Gainesville. She hit two first-half threes, and when Centreville ran her off the line, she did well putting the ball on the floor and hitting mid-rangers. She finished with 10 points to go along with her solid ball handling.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["579893"],"_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":"If there was one Achilles' heel for this Centreville squad, it's their lack of size, especially when their 5 best players that typically close the game are not bigs. Centreville stayed in a zone to counter Gainesville's size, but it didn't matter. [player_tooltip player_id='579893' first='Peyton' last='White'] dominated them in the paint. She had several lay-ins and dominated the offensive glass.

She had a school-record 45 points in James Rivers's blowout over Stone Bridge. Lanie has had 25+ in every James River playoff game and is scoring the ball as well as anyone in the state.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='868591' first='Maureen' last='Tremblay'] ","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Meridian ","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='868591' first='Maureen' last='Tremblay'] is getting a little more recognition over the past few weeks.

Maureen is not inept as a scorer by any means, but her passing and rebounding are what really push this Meridian team.
