<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Photo By: Cam Anderson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>The Home Team Showcase took place yesterday at the GRC Arena in Winchester, KY. This event was broadcasted on live TV by Fox 56 and<em> was the first time the news station has ever aired something like this so I made sure to tune in.</em> These preseason matchups were competitive and the players looked like they had fun playing in such a unique atmosphere. In this article, I will highlight the the players that stood out to me at this inaugural event.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557203"],"_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-6742e818e1541"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Claire imposed her will early and scored the first points of the game. She made intelligent basket cuts and showed nice touch on a couple floaters in the lane. She also ripped down a few rebounds and put her pretty footwork on display with a tough up-and-under post move late in the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stats:</strong> 9 points, 5 rebounds</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["739686"],"_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-6742e818e14dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedy let the game come to her but still made her presence felt on the floor. She laced a triple then showed off a tough hesitation dribble and finished with a scoop layup. I like how kept her head up on the fast break, applied good ball pressure on defense, and was on target from long distance.

Her leaping ability and quick second jump gave her advantage on the glass. She provided plenty of second chance scoring opportunities and did good job turning steals into points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stats: </strong>4 points, 12 rebounds</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254276"],"_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-6742e818e15c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kate asserted herself more in the second half and got things going offensively. She went on a heater in the third quarter and made back-to-back threes followed by a baseline floater. She hit another clutch 3-pointer that brought her team within one going into the fourth quarter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stats:</strong> 17 points, 2 steals</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["991522"],"_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-6742e818e1606"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Timberly came out the gates hot and hit a three then got a steal on the next possession. She continued to shoot it well from downtown and nailed two more threes in the second half, including a dagger in the fourth quarter that put the game out of reach. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stats:</strong> 9 points, 1 steal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
