Power Forward Play at Southern Jam

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Power Forwards “jammed” at Southern Jam and they were often the engine and glue that made their teams go. In addition to rebounds, steals, hustle plays, and a little intimidation, some even filled the stat sheet with points (even some threes). In this article, we highlight some of the power forwards who played well at Southern Jam. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["346885"],"_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='346885' first='Mikayla' last='Paschal'] was a force at Southern Jams. Well, she was a force at the Sunshine State Showdown, and she was a force during the high school season. Paschal was First Team Pinellas County, she reached 1000 points, and averaged 21.9 points and 8.7 rebounds. Back to the Grassroots tournaments where Paschal has had a 23 point performance and a few more games in the same neighborhood. She was a beast in the pick and roll game and with the guards on her team, this will likely be one of her bread and butter plays all summer long. Paschal also showed her stretch 4 ability, pulling up from the three point line like a shooting guard. But scoring points is just one aspect of her game. She rebounded well on both ends of the floor and was a standout in the transition game. Paschal showcased her good handles and her ability to pass the ball to open teammates. Versatile or “wow” is the best way to describe Paschal's play over the past two weekends. She is one of the top power forwards in her class and in the State, and the scary part is that she is still getting better.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["512947"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":894307,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: leftu0022u003eTaCari Neal was a beast at Southern jam. She really impressive with her hustle on the floor. She was physical and mixed it up in the paint, fought for position and rebounded very well on both ends of the floor. Her rebound positioning her physicality. She was also impressive with her scoring in pick and roll situations. Neal's basketball IQ was equally impressive. She does little things on the floor that reveal her intellect and instincts on the floor. It didn't just start this weekend.

She has always been a workhorse on the boards and on the defensive end. That formula has served her well and she has a few State Championships to show for it. At Southern Jam, Berry showed she could step out behind the three point arc and let it fly with a nice three point shot. Barry is one of those players who does the little things for her team to succeed. She was instrumental in the state championship with her unselfish play and hard work and she brings that same energy to the grassroots circuit.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["221661"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":894315,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='221661' first='Cazaria' last='Britt'] played well at Southern Jam. She is an active power forward in the paint who can rebound on the inside and lead the break in transition. Britt plays hard in the painted area and is very competitive. She rebounds well on both ends of the floor. Britt has a motor that doesn't stop until the game is over. She took it upon herself to end one game with two clutch freethrows, resulting in a one point victory.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["344797"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":894324,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='344797' first='Ava' last='Albanese']  stole so many balls and shot so many feeethrows that it started looking like Ground Hog Day at Southern Jam.

Versatility describes her game and the word tough should probably be added too. Albanese was an impressive player.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661f3a76c103f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
