Standout forward [player_tooltip player_id='897374' first='Kloie' last='Smith'] was an essential piece for the Lady Wildcats. She averaged 10.2 points and 5.3 rebounds a game. Kloie makes her presence felt on both ends of the floor. She scores at an extremely high percentage around the rim and is capable of making short jumpers in the paint and from the mid-range. Kloie is also a versatile defender who can guard the post and perimeter. Keep an eye out for her in the 4th region this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["566170"],"_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-66f6760d25004"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='566170' first='Isabella' last='Lewis'] scored 9.8 PPG and grabbed 2.9 RPG in her sophomore season at West Jessamine. She is athletic, explosive off the bounce, and finishes well with contact at inside. She is a really good catch-and-shoot 3-point shooter with deep range on her shot. Isabella is a tenacious defender who gets multiple steals per contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647298"],"_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-66f6760d25042"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='647298' first='Tahjae' last='Harper'] impacts the game in many different ways. She scores well in the post, but can also step-out and knock down the 3-ball. Tahjae is a good rebounder and is very active on the defensive end. I see her taking a step forward for Moore this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1003207"],"_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-66f6760d2507f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1003207' first='Lyric' last='Hooper'] is a name you should know at Boone County High School. This speedy combo guard averaged a 13 points and 7.7 rebounds a game last season. Lyric is dangerous in the open court and thrives off of fast break buckets. She is excellent off the dribble and has a knack for drawing contact. Lyric is a stout defender and does a great job coming up away with steals and turning defense into points. I expect big things from her this season as she will be the number one option for the Lady Rebels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["886739"],"_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-66f95c3b11a2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='886739' first='Kenadi' last='Level'] averaged 7.2 points a game and was the 2nd leading scorer for McLean County last season. She is a small guard that plays big and competes hard on both offense and defense. Kenadi is a reliable three point shooter and a really good perimeter defender. I see her numbers going up this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
