The 5'10 forward was the second-leading scoring and rebounder for Conner with 9.3 PPG along with 6.2 RPG. Izelee is a skilled and versatile post player that can score well in the interior but can also space the floor with her ability to make shots from the perimeter. Izelee is a very good rebounder and rim protector as well. I see her making some noise in the 9th region next season.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cstrongu003eNoteworthy Performances during the HS season:u003c/strongu003e 16 points, 12 rebounds against Campbell Countyu003cbru003eu003cbru003e14 points, 7 rebounds against Newport Central Catholicu003cbru003eu003cbru003e16 points, 5 rebounds Oldham County","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6637d77836008"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897384"],"_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='897384' first='Kairi' last='Lamb'] is an abslolute force on the basketball court. The 6'3 center dominates the paint on both ends of the floor, and is capable of of putting up a double-double on any given night. She scored 12.6 PPG and pulled down a team-leading 12 RPG for Bell County. Kairi is a great rim protector and a tremendous rebounder that has collected over 500 in her career and finished the season in the top 15 for leading rebounders in the state. She also does a good job using her size and strength to gain deep position on the low block making herself available to receive the entry pass for points at the rim.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cstrongu003eNoteworthy Performances during the HS season:u003c/strongu003e 23 points, 17 rebounds against Harlan Countyu003cbru003eu003cbru003e17 points, 11 rebounds against Middlesborou003cbru003eu003cbru003e15 points, 12 rebounds against Southwestern (Double OT)","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6637d778360ca"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["540767"],"_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='540767' first='Brooklyn' last='Thomas'] averaged 8.8 PPG and 6.5 RPG for a Pulaski County team that finished with 24-8 record, which was second best in the 12th region. Brooklyn is a high motor player that loves to compete. She is a three-level scorer, and a willing passer, that makes a great effort to rebound the ball. She had a clutch moment in the district championship game and made a big-time shot in a OT thriller against Rockcastle County that helped her team get the close win 44-43. After losing their best player due to graduation. Brooklyn will be a key contributor for the Lady Maroons next season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6637d77836165"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897394"],"_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":"Bishop Brossart won 18 games last season and finished as a top 5 team in the 10th region.

She is fierce competitor that knows how to make her presence felt on both ends of he floor.

She is a really good rebounder, that makes strong drives to the basket, and shows a nice shooting touch from the mid-range.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6637d778361bf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897391"],"_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='897391' first='Naoma' last='Noble'] is a strong post player in the paint for Wolfe County.

She is a excellent finisher at the rim, that blocks a ton of shots, and does a good job getting up and down the floor. I see her making major strides as a junior for the Lady Wolves next season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6637d7783620f"} /-->
