Nakiah was on target from long distance, did a fantastic job putting teammates in position to score, and seemed to score at will off the dribble. She has a great all-around game and is only going to get better!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["934138"],"_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-66c2ac9e8da02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Karlea has good size for a lead guard and the way she sees the floor is incredible! She is a magician with the ball in hand and showed flashes of an elite passer. I also liked her ability to score through contact and her floater was very hard for defenders to block. She got after it on defense and played passing lanes well. Keep an eye for Karlea!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["782512"],"_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-66c2ac9e8da46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breigh is a beast on both ends of the floor! In the game I watched she knocked down a deep wing triple, was excellent off the dribble, and made difficult shots look easy! She is a tenacious defender and had a big-time block as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["972028"],"_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-66c2ac9e8da86"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alexis was impressive on the defensive end! She used active hands to create turnovers and had 2 steals in the game. She also shoots it well from beyond the arc, made good passes, and converted on a tough "And 1" play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["972332"],"_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-66c2ac9e8dac4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barren County has a young player on the rise in [player_tooltip player_id='972332' first='Mahalia' last='Burton']! I remember her getting a steal then pushing the pace and making sure to keep her head up on the fast break looking for open teammates running the floor. Mahalia also made her free throws, pulled down a offensive rebound, attacked off the dribble, and connected on a short jumper from the corner.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
