April Live Period: Out of State Heavy Hitters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Teams from over 20 states were represented at the Adidas 3SSB live period showing in Bryan, Texas. Teams from Alaska to New York traveled to the event to showcase a high level of competitive play. My fellow PGH Texas scout, <strong>Simmie Colson</strong>, told me I would get to see a different caliber of talent and he was absolutely correct! </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":"Angelina Davorija","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='712517' first='Full' last='Package'] 3SSB","_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 player is tough in transition.

Her height inside consistently draws 2-3 defenders. Opponents first line of defense against her is to sandwich (squeeze) Hall. She is still polishing her counter to double but she is strong enough to find some space to pivot away and kick the ball out to a teammate. Often times, she was able to make a move, draw contact and get to the free throw line. On the other end of the floor, Hall is a nightmare in the lane for opponents. If you come into the lane, she has the ability to squat your shot. Outside of the paint, she has the lateral quickness to get down and guard.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["303465"],"_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":"Torrence is an u003cstrongu003eelite defenderu003c/strongu003e.
