They have a lot of players that can handle the ball and use their athleticism on both ends. [player_tooltip player_id='749391' first='Payton' last='Walters'] is one example of this. She is a 3-level scorer and has fantastic size for a guard. Payton has a quick first step and is a skilled finisher. When she gets by you, she plays through physicality very well. When OP forces turnovers, they have a lot of players who do an outstanding job in transition, and Payton is one of the best at that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["239413"],"_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-66cff2fa0ddc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='239413' first='Keyarah' last='Rainey'] is another elite Osbourn Park player who can get to the rim. She has a terrific first step and is a great athlete. She doesn't shy away from contact and has improved as a finisher over the past few years. She has a good handle and is good size for a G/W. Osbourn Park's ability to force turnovers and get buckets in transition starts with Keyarah, and she gets to the rim as well as anyone in NOVA. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376324"],"_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-66cff2fa0de06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='376324' first='Sanai' last='Green'] is a little bit different of a slasher than everyone else on this list. Although she is a good athlete and moves well, her sheer strength and physicality make her impossible to stop when she attacks the rim. She is 6 foot and a skilled finisher. Sanai has elite footwork and is the most complete driver in the state. There is nothing you can do to stop her when she attacks the rim because of how skilled she is and how physically dominant she is. Sanai is the best slasher in the state and a special talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["239387"],"_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-66cff2fa0de46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='239387' first='Kennedy' last='Parrott'] is much more of a jump shooter, especially from the mid-range, but when she is attacking the rim she is as good as the best of them. Since Kennedy has gotten healthy, you have seen her game grow a lot, and she is all around a lot better. Watching her last year you saw the things that make her a D1 talent. Kennedy has good size for a guard and is a great athlete. She handles the ball well and can rise over bigs and finish. Kennedy is deceptively strong and poised for a monster year this year. At this level, she blows by people easily, and when she puts her head down she is difficult to stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["238923"],"_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-66cff2fa0de86"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='238923' first='Leah' last='Keyes']' jump shot has gotten leaps and bounds better, and it has helped open up her greatest skill more. Her ability to attack the basket is elite, and now defenses aren't giving her the room to shoot, so she is punishing defenses more. Leah can play three positions and can get to the rim no matter who is on her at this level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
