<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a game often dominated by guards, post players who can anchor a team are invaluable. These five players are not just underrated but are poised to step into the spotlight and show their importance on both ends of the floor. From shot-blocking to dominating the boards, each of these athletes brings unique skills to the table. Here's a look at the post players who are ready to make their names known this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879237"],"_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-674ac8a068463"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Annabelle's combination of length, athleticism, and size makes her a force to be reckoned with in the paint. This season, she will take on her most significant role yet as the defensive anchor for her team. Her ability to alter shots at the rim, control the glass, and run the floor in transition will be critical to her team's success. Look for Annabelle to dominate defensively while creating second-chance opportunities on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["631339"],"_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-674ac8a0684b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor has flown under the radar but is ready to grab attention with her all-around game. She is a versatile post player who can score from deep, attack the rim, and play with her back to the basket. Taylor's rebounding ability and knack for making big plays will make her an essential part of her team's success. Expect her to emerge as a key contributor and a name to watch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["356501"],"_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-674ac8a0684fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ligia is arguably the most undervalued post player in the state, and her impact goes far beyond the stat sheet. Her toughness and grit are unmatched as she excels at grabbing rebounds, taking charges, and igniting her team with her energy. Ligia's hustle on both ends of the floor leads to second-chance points and momentum-shifting plays. Her relentless work ethic and determination make her a player no team can overlook.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["584129"],"_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-674ac8a06853c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Knakai, an active post player from Vista Peak, has steadily developed into a consistent and impactful presence. She is a skilled scorer in the post, whether with her back to the basket or facing up to the rim. Knakai's ability to run the floor in transition and distribute the ball from the post adds another layer to her team's offense. This season, she looks ready to showcase her all-around game and solidify her place as a standout player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["720186"],"_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-674ac8a06857c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Glorielle, one of Eaglecrest's dominant post players, brings strength and athleticism to her team. She uses her physicality to secure rebounds, block shots, and start fast breaks, making her a key two-way player. Offensively, she imposes her will in the paint, using her athleticism to create mismatches. Glorielle's presence in the post will be crucial for her team's success this season as she looks to elevate her game further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These five players are not just underrated but are poised to step into the spotlight and show their importance on both ends of the floor.
