<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These forwards have been impactful names within their club programs throughout this past month.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510712"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657b785e7e6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong scoring guard who additionally brings plenty of finesse around the perimeter. A talented scorer out of the post, she leverages her strength against backcourt opponents, getting to turnaround floaters. Especially effective with the right hand, she stays active converting those attempts in traffic. Along the perimeter she remains a dependable shooter off the catch, taking advantage of her openings. Particularly within the Colorado Springs area, she brings one of the most versatile offensive skill sets of anyone in that class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["608610"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657b785e7ebe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most productive rebounders in this class, Scheider brings a high motor on the glass, capitalizing on her height advantage. Fairly mobile at the forward spot, she is constantly roaming around while off the ball, quickly getting into the paint for second chance opportunities once the opponent turns their head. A willing shooter off the catch, she provides a bit of floor spacing on the wings. She fits into a wide variety of lineups, given her ability to stay a threat to space the floor while holding her own ver</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["430805"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657b785e7efe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A capable playmaker off the dribble, she can hit cutters with timely passes through traffic. Showing growth with one-handed dimes, her ability to convert difficult passing opportunities has been exciting to see throughout the spring months. Defensively, she has held her own versus backcourt opponents and wings. Her low center of gravity and active hands make her a malleable option on that end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["898237"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657b785e7f38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allen adds to this [program_tooltip program_id='712413' first='BC' last='Denver'] 2026 groups interior rim protection, quite the deterrent for opposing drivers. Bringing in active hands, the forward was a beneficiary of over a dozen blocks and tipped shots throughout the most recent Chaos in Colorado event. Offensively, she is a dependable scoring option off of drives, a dependable ball handler at her position. Typically catching and ripping through into the lane or attempting the elbow jumper, she works to pick her spots inside the arc. The lefty out of 16-8 Erie will be a name worth following throughout the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901885"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657b785e7f70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilpatrick was a highly productive option for the Hoopsters, given her notably wide reach on the defensive end. Effective cramming passing lanes or hounding opposing ball handlers on traps, the forward has all the looks of a modern forward. Repeatedly knocking down jumpers from the corners and wings, she has shown improvements to her shot mechanics. Fairly mobile for her position, she is a constant threat for backdoor cuts or leaking out in transition for outlet passes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["904857"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657b785e7fa7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A mobile defender whose capabilities of matching up with multiple positions, Valenzuela brings in constant energy each possession. Quick to capitalize on rebounds or rotate over early to mitigate driving lanes, she has found success as a dirty work player with B and B and Pomona High School. Quick to convert the offensive rebound into a second chance opportunity, opponents are rarely able to string together multiple box outs on both her or teammate [player_tooltip player_id='905240' first='Lily' last='Sullivan'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
