Players who understand the game at a high level and can pass like she does are far and few between. A difference maker with the ball. Her passing ability sets her apart from the pack. She's a classic PG in that making the team better is her main focus. A fundamental player who hits her open shots and plays great man-to-man defense. Lawson is going to be a star for her team moving forward.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["351778"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eLike most in this program, Sticker has paid her dues the past two seasons and will step into a bigger role as an upperclassmen. She's a player who always impressed with the minutes she was given. Her ability to fill a variety of roles is one of the main things that's impressive. An unselfish wing who finds a nice balance of scoring and passing. Defense is an area where her effort level remains high at all times. Next year she's going to be needed as a floor spacer and someone that can be versatile on defense. Her breakthrough is on the horizon following this summer. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660ef8f5cc6da"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["857341"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eIt's tough for a sophomore to impact winning in a major way. It's also tough for one to lead their team in numerous statistical categories. That's exactly what Newton did during her second season. A promising forward who has all the tools to truly become a star next year. Size… check. Motor… check. Athletic ability… check. She does all the things you look for in a forward prospect. Her level of play doesn't drop over the course of a game and she has a high work rate. Newton has a lot of untapped potential that will shine through soon. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["460885"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA player who continued to get better as the season went on. She was a big reason why this year's Centralia team had success and made a deep run. Her ability to establish and control a presence on the wing is much needed. Players like herself who improve quickly are perfect candidates for this list. She's going to be a household name in Class 3 if she isn't already. A focused player who puts pressure on the defense with her relentless effort. She changed games this season and will do so even more next year. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660ef8f5cc84e"} /-->
