Apache Memorial (Day 1) – My notes (Part 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nothing beats sitting courtside watching talented athletes play all day. The Apache Memorial did not disappoint on Day 1! College coaches from all over were in attendance! I hope the athlete's had fun. I know that I did. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Where do I start first? How about with the first game of the day that I watched. Two extremely talented teams going head to head. The game ended in a sudden death double overtime! The [program_tooltip program_id='713862' first='TN' last='Lady Grit'] lost by 2 to ABA '27! Honestly, you could call all athletes from both sides standouts today. Below are a few evaluations from game 1:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gabbie Vanacker","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Farragut HS","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='713862' first='TN' last='Lady Grit']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"This was my first time getting to watch the [program_tooltip program_id='713862' first='TN' last='Lady Grit'], u0026amp; despite the loss, I was left truly impressed with Gabbie and the entire team!

Sheridan is a ball savvy athlete that knows when to take over a game. She is a true game changer u0026amp; she was able to show that in the early morning game! Reagan was scoring from all 3 levels!

My apologies to Harper for not finding her sooner! Ladd flirted with a double-double during this game. She is a young, talented freshman with great size! She has a nice outside shot! She drilled numerous three pointers that never touched the rim. She has great hands with a soft touch inside!

Berry is an athlete that does all of the little things right. I don't scout in the state of Alabama, but this one was too good not to mention! In the beginning, when her team was down, she did a lot of things great offensively and defensively to keep her team in it. She has a nice outside shot. Berry is also great at attacking the rim.

She works hard every single possession. Does anyone in the entire state rim run better than Chloe? She gets numerous baskets at the rim because she runs the floor exceptionally well. She's a great inside/out player and she can stretch the floor better than most her size! Heath has a consistent 3 point shot!
