NOVA starting 5 class of 2025: Public school

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is the NOVA starting 5 for public schools in NOVA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HM [player_tooltip player_id='827295' first='Tatum' last='Olson']<br></strong>[player_tooltip player_id='827295' first='Tatum' last='Olson'] had a solid year for a good Mclean team this year. Last summer, I talked about Tatum as an underrated player due for some recognition because of her play during AAU ball. Tatum showed off her high-level shooting and defense. Tatum finished first team in the Liberty district.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HM [player_tooltip player_id='718370' first='Emma' last='Komaily']<br></strong>[player_tooltip player_id='718370' first='Emma' last='Komaily'] has caught my attention over the past few years as a great three-and-d player. She is excellent at getting her hands in passing lanes and turning her defense into offense. She shot the ball well this year and made first-team all-district.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598926"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='598926' first='Anya' last='Rahman'] had a little tougher time this year with her shot and overall efficiency.

Langley was terrific this year, and it started on the defensive end, and Anya played a part in that. She is an excellent ball-handler and a good passer. Even with her struggles with her shot this year, Anya was still a massive threat on offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["239387"],"_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='239387' first='Kennedy' last='Parrott'] struggled with staying healthy throughout the first few years of her high school career.

Georgia had her way in the paint and put up some big performances this year. Georgia again won district player of the year and made first-team all-state in a loaded class 6.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6605e817eb228"} /-->
