Kid can play inside and out, displaying a nice shooter's touch close or away from the rim. Has a knack for being near the ball. Great reactionary skills, she's big on the boards, makes the right plays, most importantly, finishes plays, putting the ball in the bottom of the net. Has great size and plays with a high basketball IQ, look for her to have a breakout season this upcoming year.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[518128],"_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-67003d7abbbd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sharpshooting guard who is a gamer. Plays with a lot of confidence, once she is filling it, she is hard to stop. A 3 level scoring threat, she was comfortable unleashing it from the arc. When she put the ball on the floor, she had a great presence of mind to either kick it out or dump it down low. She was played with tons of poise. You could just tell in moments like these, she was built for them. Lakelyn is a dazzling talent and this upcoming season, look for her to be a leading catalyst for a solid White Co. squad.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[821876],"_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-67003d7abbc2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solid two-way player who is primed and ready to have a breakout year. This kid is tough and she displayed her toughness in both 3v3 and 5v5 games. When she was spotting up, she drained shots, but if opponents tried to run her off the line, she attacked the hoop. Loved her ability to get after it on D. Look for her to take the next steps and be a focal point for Central this upcoming year. This kid has many tools and look for her to reach in her bag and help her ball club to new heights.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039159"],"_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-67003d7abbc7e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Athletic post who is going to be a problem when it's all said and done. Kate is going to be a beast on the interior, holding down the painted area. Offensively, she posts well, solidly holding her position, displaying moves to finish around the rim. Defensively, she is on the boards, hitting her outlet, and running lanes and receiving the ball in position to score. Page has a gem in this young lady. Look for her to come in and carve out a role that will help propel the Lady Patriots ball club this year and for years to come.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821714"],"_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-67003d7abbcd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strong individual who plays with a lot of force. She was big inside the arc, dazzling in the painted areas. Maggie exercises her strength to get to favorable areas of hers. She has a knack for being at the right spot at the right time. Offensive boards were big on this day, but she also was big on the boards defensively. She is a grinder who plays and gets after it. Love her motor and her intensity, she is someone who is definitely a force for sure. Solid prospect who keeps getting better and better every time she steps onto the floor.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
