PGH NE Expo: Live Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the day at this event I had the chance to stop and take some "live" notes of each participate that was in attendance. These notes are just a quicker way of explaining how a participate is playing and what I am seeing in real time out on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["765347"],"_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-670898b0ec30d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"It's always important to build on momentum no matter what you are doing and someone that is doing that to a T following AAU season is Macie Vetter of Lewis Cental. Vetter showed a well rounded game throughout the day at this Showcase. In an event that is guard heavy with talent, it can be challenging to standout but Vetter did a fine job of that during all of the skill portion events to start the day and during competitive play down the floor. At Lewis Central, I'm expecting numbers out of Vetter this Winter. She knows what to expect so now, it's go time."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["895665"],"_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-670898b0ec381"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"McCray does a great job of knowing her own ability.

She takes what's open, looks for her spots in both the half court and transition, and she is a willing passer to anyone around her that may be open. As long as she continues to fall in love with the process, I'm sure she is going to be a lights out player on both sides of the ball as an upperclassmen.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["777559"],"_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-670898b0ec48d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>"Jackson can catch on fire in a hurry offensively, while on defense she is someone that plays a physical game as a guard.

With the roster they will have with their underclass group alone, they should be very well off as long as everyone makes sure that they are shooting not just good shots, but GREAT shots.
