<p class="text-gray-700">Ella is the undisputed #1 ranked player in the class. The Dexter Southfield big had all eyes on her for some time now. She's known across the country for being the 13-year-old that could dunk. Pepper is popular around the region and her signature 1-hand tomahawk has everybody on the edge of their seat, just waiting to see if she'll pull this off during the season. The shooting ability she shows is next level at the position. Ella's seamless stroke allows her to remain a constant threat, even when the game gets chippy. Pepper's shots will inject life into the team. Defensively, she's a stud that contests countless shots a game. Pepper is a foundational defensive piece that impacts the game on so many levels. This is a genuine star that has incredible potential. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Brennan is a fantastic talent that mixes a bit of old school flavor with some new age elements to her game. Her long-range shooting ability is noteworthy. Addison gets the easy points around missed attempts that are viscously cleaned up near the glass. The shooting is reliable and she doesn't hesitate to let her shot fly when she gets going. Addison may surprise defenders who aren't familiar with her game because of how harmonious her game is, especially while showing great agility playing center. She is a major presence on the defensive side of the ball. Brennan often lingers around the paint and mid-post, daring drivers to lay the ball up. The WMA young star has moved up the ranks to #3 in the entire region. Expect to hear a lot more from her throughout the season. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bella is a stable big that finds success doing the little things to advance her team. She is a tenacious rebounder that gets off the floor quickly. Her strong frame makes her able to shed players hanging onto her around the basket. The soft touch on putbacks is essential to her habits. Houghton is solid on the block defending her individual matchups. Rarely is Bella just outworked. Houghton is the #3 ranked center in the class. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='903426' first='Alexa' last='Scaringello'] (2028) | 6'1 PF/C | St. Mark's </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Alexa is a fantastic big that's productive on both ends of the floor. She's 6'1 with brute strength and she knows how to dominate her opponents with overpowering size. Her shoulders act as another layer of separation between herself and those guarding her while using her jump-hook. Scaringello can extend the range some while shooting which gives her a bit of adaptability as the game's speed picks up tempo. Alexa isn't just a bruiser, she's able to have court awareness and carve out great angles for herself by knowing her spots. Her defense is conducive to team success. She plays within the schematics of the team without being out of position. Alexa is ranked #9 in the region and St. Mark's will have a great piece this season. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bit of a traditional style of power forward that's productive and highly efficient on the floor. Nothing too fancy in Alana's game, she just gets it done by any means. She has no problem doing the dirty work, even though it isn't the most appealing job. Alana sets hard screens that gets herself and teammates open. The determination shown fighting for rebounds is impressive. McNamara doesn't hesitate to put back shots that fall off the rim. Her strong frame also allows to her operate fearlessly from her favorite places on the floor. On the other side of the ball, she gets prime position to snatch defensive rebounds. Her ability to find a body and box out can be quickly overlooked, but it's an essential factor to her game. Alana is ranked #34 overall and #3 at the power forward position. </p>
