1) they played great team defense, and 2) they had 5-6 players that could score double figures any given night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hudson is a great example of this….she won't won't drop 25 but she's a high end role player than can easily give you 12 points with 2 made 3's.&nbsp; She also averages 5 rebounds.&nbsp; Really nice role player.&nbsp; And only getting better.&nbsp; As Garcia graduates, and there are more shots to go around, I expect her to pickup some extra scoring load.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["496297"],"_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-66da237f5e895"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gillies did exactly what was asked of her heading into this season…take a leap as a scorer and shot maker, and continue to use her length and athleticism to be a high end defender.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.  She's also been the best 3 point shooter on this Cookeville team hoping to make another deep postseason run.  Gillies has been tremendous with <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/eta-thunder/"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='713260' first='ETA' last='Thunder']</strong></a> '25 Campos, and I'm expecting her to make another jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["425063"],"_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-66da237f5e909"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilbert turned herself into a real two way threat this season for Cookeville.&nbsp; Her defensive energy and instincts are terrific.&nbsp; She's a disruptive on the ball defender that isn't satified unless she's making the offensive player's life unhappy.&nbsp; Offensively, Gilbert became an electrifying scorer and playmaker all season for Cookeville.&nbsp; A true three level scorer that can collapse and D, and knows how to create for her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She played terrific ball for FBC Reign '25 Priest, and has picked up a few really nice offers of late.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[899861],"_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-66da237f5e985"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The sophomore guard became another tool for this Cookeville team that increased their upside throughout the season as they gained more experience.  Roby is another kid that can get you double digits, and has led them in scoring.  She's averaged 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.  Really high end role player…and they type of kid that can sneakily win you a post season game.</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":"[player_tooltip player_id='989326' first='Sadie' last='Garrett']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cookeville","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-66da237f5ea73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If every team had a [player_tooltip player_id='989326' first='Sadie' last='Garrett'], their success would become more elevated.  She can be a go-to scorer if needed, and is always wanting to take on the matchup of guarding the other teams best player.  She's a great talent and a great teammate for a '28.  I expect her to come right into the Cookeville rotation and be a difference maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
