Under the Radar Players that will make NOISE in the 24-25 Season!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These Under the radar players are polishing up as the beginning of the season approaches. As they, along with their teams, are going over defenses and memorizing plays, these players are locking in to make some "NOISE" in 24-25. From a walking double- double to a court slasher who loves to get in the paint, this list has the talent that Arkansas girls' basketball have been producing for quite some time. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1051636' first='Kyla' last='Harston']</strong>, a senior center that cleans up the glass like Windex, and <strong>McKenzie Williams</strong> is smooth like butter with the basketball. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1090347' first='Traniyah' last='Weston']</strong> has the experience and toughness for being one of the youngest on the list but will be a major role for Conway in the 6A Division. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1056360' first='Elisabeth' last='Green'] </strong>rounds up these "Under the Radar" players with her grit and great defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a closer look at each player through these evaluations! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":1048380,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1090347' first='Traniyah' last='Weston']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Conway","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='712373' first='All' last='Arkansas Red']","_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-670e93147bcbb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Traniyah tops this list for several reasons, but mainly after meeting this amazing student athlete, I evaluated her school / club clips, and #12 can play! She was ill the day I attended practice preparing to write <strong>Conway "Lady Cats" Season Preview</strong> on Sept. 6th and <strong>Coach Hutchcraft</strong> spoke confidently about her sophomore superstar. With an offer already from University of Arkansas Pine Bluff, Weston will have plenty of more by her senior year. I'm a huge fan of long guards, and this 5'5 guard gets on ball steals like crazy. She hounds the ball handler waiting on their cadence dribble and... Boom!... she tips the ball behind the dribbler, picks it up and heads the other direction! This past Spring the quick guard made All Tournament in the Heart of Texas Tournament with her club team [program_tooltip program_id='712373' first='All' last='Arkansas Red']. Weston was also featured in PGHTexas article <strong>Oh My- Guards Explode on Day 2#HeartOfTexas</strong>. I see her constantly working on her combo moves. Finding a couple of go to moves and counters to create space will be developed with time. I'm excited about this one and look forward to seeing her and the team in action! </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='1056360' first='Elisabeth' last='Green']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Harrisburg","_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-670e93147bd48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elisabeth impressed me with her driving skills, especially going left with defenders draped on her eventually drawing an and one! Consistent going left, she shot a 3 with her right. I'm familiar with ambidextrous players like Kyrie Irving, Derrick Rose, and John Wall. If she is for certain, then that's a true talent. This 5'8 forward has a knack for scoring which was a reflection in her 16.2pts a game for Harrisburg. Green displays great post presence when in a half court set, but in the open court, she is efficient. She gets majority of her points off of steals averaging 3.9 last year. She also can box out and get rebounds, grabbing 6.2 a contest. #11 might be a talent like another famous #11... and also might be ambidextrous.</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='1051636' first='Kyla' last='Harston']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"East Poinsett County","_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-670e93147bdcc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harston has been the force for East Poinsett since she started playing for them her freshman year. She averaged 10 points and has developed her game every year since. Now the 6'0 senior is primed and ready to go for her last year playing high school basketball. Kyla has size and speed and that disrupts the paint averaging at least 1 block a game. The best rebounder on the list, Kyla averaged 10.8rebs a game along with dishing in 14.6pts. Working on mobility and footwork will avoid her getting in foul trouble. It will also increase post moves in the paint. The process should include her increasing other facets of her game like passing. I see this one getting more recognition this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"McKenzie Williams","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lakeside","_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-670e93147be43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKenzie is a poised point guard that has great potential at that position. I want to see her more playing off the ball, and being on the ball most of the time requires her to be the main option on offense. Defenses are on their heels when she approaches them, and her steady medium pace keeps them guessing. She possesses good passing with either hand and has a great IQ. #11's court vision and passing ability will continue to grow. Williams led Lakeside in scoring as a freshman last year with 14.4pts a game while dishing in 2.6 assists and 3.9rebs. A smooth scorer and effective rebounder for her team, this sophomore guard looks to be on the radar in 24-25!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look forward for more "Under the Radar" prospects from Arkansas girls' basketball 24-25 Season.
