I really liked what I saw from Elizabeth on the PGH circuit this year. She is a tough competitor that impacts the game in many different ways, whether it's knocking down shots from deep, scoring off the bounce or getting others involved. She is also very effective on the fast break and her energy and instincts on defense allows her rack up multiple steals per game.

She has a pretty form and can shoot it from the perimeter at an exceptionally good clip. Aiyana is a stout defender that loves to apply pressure and come up with steals. I am thinking off the top of my head hear but she might just the best rebounding guard in the state. She is a heck of a player that has been way overlooked.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["902864"],"_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-66b6951fab331"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really like Alexis's game! She is a fundamentally sound guard with good size and skill. She averaged 7.2 and 2.1 RPG for a Taylor County team that went 23-10 and won the 2A sectional championship for the 3rd year in a row. Alexis has a great work ethic, can score from all 3 levels on the floor, and is hard to stop when she gets downhill. She is coming off of a strong AAU season playing for the KY Southern Starz and looks to be a key contributor for Lady Cards once again this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Natayla Pitts","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Moore","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='712644' first='Louisville' last='Legends']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b6951fab3ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natayla averaged a team-leading 14.3 PPG along with 4.1 RPG for Moore last season. She is a athletic lead guard with good size. She can defend 94 feet, get a bucket from all 3 levels consistently, and does fantastic job putting her teammates in position to be successful; also very coachable! Natayla showed out in the Championship game at the National Championship last month and is poised for a big junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647300"],"_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-66b6951fab3f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='647300' first='Alexis' last='Young'] is a standout forward at Mason County High School. She led the team in scoring (14 PPG) and rebounds (8.4 RPG) last season. Alexis has good size and really long arms. She scores at a high percentage around the rim and is a workhorse on the boards. She also runs the floor very well and does a good job using her length to protect the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
