<p>Okay! I am back talking about our [program_tooltip program_id='712944' first='Team' last='Tennessee'] Mock event. Hopefully this stuff will tie you over throughout the dead period. We are kicking back off with Team E. E for excellent. E for energy. E for everything. Team E or whatever you would like to call them, is pretty spectacular when it comes to scoring the basketball. I mean not only can these girls shoot lights out, it's how they put the ball in the basket which is very intriguing. A lot of girls on this team have a little sauce in their game. For those who don't know, sauce meaning these girls can cross you up, break your ankles, pull from deep, or let's just keep it simple, they can hoop. I love the size and guard play on this team.</p>

<p>Without further ado, let me dive into this squad and talk a little more about them,</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='593347' first='Chelby' last='Jordan'] (Dyersburg)</strong>- Dual sport athlete who has a pretty stroke. She plays in rare air and when she penetrates and releases the ball at the top of her jump, buddy it is nice. The kid is a hooper. A multi-level scoring threat who uses her speed and quickness to get to her favorable spots. She can defend, rebound, lock up on D. The total package that packs a powerful punch.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='290719' first='Harmonie' last='Ware'] (Bradley Central)</strong>- One of the most versatile kids in the state. Offensively, she can beat you inside and out. Plays with a high motor that enables her to get whatever shot she wants quickly and at a consistent clip. A 3 level scoring threat, she is and will exploit a defense's weakness. She is a hard nose defender, getting tipped balls and steals by the bunches. A go-getter and one of the best in the state. A tremendous talent with a huge upside.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='631094' first='Ellie' last='Butler'] (Livingston Academy)</strong>- Solid as a rock. With this girl, you are going to get a little bit of everything. Double figure scorer, elite rebounder, selfless teammates. She does a little bit of everything and then some. Ellie is a trooper who is the leading catalyst for her ball club. She is the heartbeat of her club and her team feeds off her energy. Love what she brings to the table.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='408998' first='Brady' last='Branam']</strong> (TKA)- Big enforcer of a kid who takes up space. Offensively, has a plethora of moves she utilizes to score the basketball. Anything around the block, short corners, and within the painted areas, she's the gold standard. On defense, she blocks shots, gains rebounds, deters any opponents from getting high % shots. What more do you want from someone who instills toughness for her club? The kid is solid and she brings it every time she steps onto the floor.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='636395' first='Aaliyah' last='Story'] (David Crockett)</strong> - Dual sport athlete that possesses a solid frame. She can do a little bit of everything and then some. Has great size and utilizes every ounce of her body to win each and every possession. She is great around the rim and the mid-range area. She is on the boards, swats away shots, and runs the floor well. She is a kid that has a trajectory arrow pointing upwards. Look for her to capitalize on her strengths and be a force to be reckoned with for the next couple of years.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='793953' first='Addie' last='Wilhoit'] (Tennessee)</strong>- They call her the wunderkind, but she is spectacular. A walking bucket, this kid hits tough shot after tough shot. What I love about her, she is a go getter who comes back for more. A tough competitor who loves the competition. Doesn't matter the size or the speed of the opposition, she is going right at them. A 3 level scoring threat, she can handle the ball and attack the rim or pull up right in someone's face. She plays D, she rebounds, she hustles, she makes extra effort plays. An exceptional talent who is truly a gamer!</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='821709' first='Lilly' last='Woodruff'] (Sweetwater)</strong>- A special guard who plays with relentless effort. This kid hustles on both ends of the floor. A nice two-way player who sees and finishes the possession through. No matter if she is trying to get a bucket or going after a rebound, she is going to give it all she has. A 3 level scoring threat who is coming into her own. A solid kid who contributes on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='821983' first='Brooklyn' last='Jones'] (Goodpasture)</strong>- Dual sport athlete who has the heart of a lion. Don't let her size fool you, this kid is nice with the rock in her hands. She can cross you up, pull up from deep with ease, and just battle it out on every possession. Has a sweet left handed stroke, like I said previously, she is a big time scoring threat. Has a high basketball IQ, this kid is one of the most talented in her class.</p>

<p><strong>Kay Kay Strayhorn (Dyersburg)</strong>- Polished young guard who can hoop. She can score it off the bounce, pull it from 3, slice through defenses to make timely assists. She has a knack for being around the ball, getting steals if she is playing on the ball, jumping passing lanes if she is playing off the ball. The kid has speed, tenacity, and plays the game with a lot of heart. Solid kid who is going to be something special before it is all said and done.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='636391' first='Karson' last='Dunn'] (South Gibson)</strong> - Clutch shooter who finds the bottom of the net at a consistent clip. She has an eye for the basket and the ball seems to always go in no matter where she is on the floor. A selfless teammate. She goes out and does what she needs to do before she gets going. Contributing on both ends of the floor, this kid has a game that equates to victories for her club. Need a bucket in the final seconds, dial up a play for this girl because she has ice in her veins.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='881129' first='Jaslyn' last='Butler'] (Rhea Co.)</strong>- Big kid who is having some fun. She is coming into her own, dominating the opposition. She is hitting the high % shots, knocking down elbow and short corner shots, used in the pick in roll game. She's big on the defensive end, making it hard for opponents to operate. She rebounds, blocks shots. Like I said, she is having fun. What kid wouldn't have fun when you play the game the way she plays it. Hard working kid with tremendous upside.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='822475' first='Ariyah' last='Huffman'] (Cleveland)</strong>- Smooth ball player. This kid for one is a athlete, who plays multiple sports. Talking hoops, she is a 3 level scoring threat who makes tough shots, can utilize her size and speed to finish against contact, she rebounds, creates turnovers by getting deflections and steals. Confident in her ability, when she gets on fire, she is hard to stop. I love her game. Solid two-way player who is going to be something special. A great two-way player who can put the ball in the hole at a consistent clip.</p>
