Game 2 Standouts-King vs Dawson #KickoffClassic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This matchup is a possible playoff preview and I haven't taken the time to try and decipher the brackets on who will play who. I know both teams have the firepower to go deep, let me also add that King was without <strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='692431' first='Kyndall' last='Roberts'] </strong>who has been electrifying. Also, King's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='973890' first='Skylar' last='Conway']</strong> along with Dawson's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1054155' first='Aubriana' last='Howard']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1054157' first='Kylie' last='Herpin']</strong> made my <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/11/2028-group-more-than-solid-kickoffclassic/">FRESHMAN TIP SHEET</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DAWSON</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740969"],"_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-672a4888664fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ford was off the chain and watching her do what she did inside the paint at her size gets her the #THROWBACK. I often say "You can't teach DESIRE" and she will not be outworked as she went AFTA everything off the rim. She also finished powerfully and did a good job applying "on the ball" pressure </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["896294"],"_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-672a488866579"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lovett is a big guard who can shoot and is one of 4 players from the squad who scored in double figures. She does a good job creating her shot, as well as spacing to get it off and drop it from mid to long-range yet did a good job defensively and played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1006215"],"_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-672a4888665de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richard led all scorers on her team and dropped 4 from deep. This was my first GOOD look at her, my colleague @playerrimidies caught her way before me <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/12/week-6-team-to-see-dawson-high-school/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong> and I caught her sparingly over the club season. I love her form and how she elevates and releases. She scored off the dribble and even went coast to coast while being pressured </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1054658"],"_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-672a48886663b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ingram is an athletic guard who uses her athleticism well on both ends.
