She is a workhorse on the glass and provides second chance opportunities with her ability to pulled down offensive rebounds. She uses her size and strength well to gain position for the entry pass on the low block and can guard post and perimeter players. Kori should see a lot of varsity action for the Lady Purples this season.

She loves to attack off the dribble and does good job drawing contact, which often leads to a trip to the charity stripe. Abby also has excellent instincts on defense and makes a valiant effort to rebound the ball. I see her making some noise in the 15th region this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1056291"],"_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-67360af8dd936"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1056291' first='Elayna' last='Ward'] averaged 6.1 PPG for a Bryan Station team that went 15-13 in the 3rd season under Head Coach Serena Sandusky.

I believe Haylee will make a major leap in her junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1056295"],"_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-67360af8dd9c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1056295' first='Kinzlee' last='Akin'] standout volleyball and basketball player at Adair County.

She is a lethal outside shooter and a really good perimeter defender. Kinzlee will be the number one scoring option for the Lady Indians this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
