Strong is scoring over 20 points and collecting over 16 rebounds per night. There is not a weakness to Strong's game. She can hit the three, she can score in the paint, earn - and convert - trips to the foul line, and Strong is an exceptional passer. Each game, Strong drops over 4 assists to her teammates.

Reynolds. She has a picture-perfect jump shot and the ability to knock down multiple three-pointers in any game for the Rockets. Harvey is a talented player who can change a game on offense or on defense. She is willing to pressure the basketball on D and rebounds well from the guard position. In a recent win over Asheville High School, Harvey scored 20 points, tracked down 6 rebounds, passed for 5 assists, and forced 2 steals.u003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["772552"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eLeena McField is averaging over 21 points per game for Northern Guilford in her freshman season.

She has been shooting the basketball with confidence, creating for her teammates, and rebounding with urgency on both offense and defense. Shehan has a super-quick release and can shoot from deep behind the three-point line. When the defender goes under a ball screen while guarding Shehan, she reads the defense and drains the outside shot. She is an outstanding junior with huge potential on the court for the Wildcats.u003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c268926bfba"} /-->
