I'm going to share with you some pieces of my notes from The Expo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out additional PGH Michigan Expo coverage below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/pgh-expo-ball-handlers/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/pgh-expo-ball-handlers/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/pgh-expo-top-shooters/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/pgh-expo-top-shooters/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/pgh-expo-top-defenders/","type":"wp-embed","providerNameSlug":"prep-girls-hoops"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-prep-girls-hoops wp-block-embed-prep-girls-hoops"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/10/pgh-expo-top-defenders/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499160"],"_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-66fe932822bfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">- Rolls off screen with intent! - improved athleticism</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335983"],"_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-66fe932822c64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">- Deep step back 3!
