Went Offfff Weekend #KatyClassic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watching things develop before my eyes has always been special, like seeing something early and later saying "I told you so" will, unlike me, never get old yet huge performances on Friday and Saturday need to be acknowledged. Let me also acknowledge it was great catching up with some college coaches, <strong>Jaime Gonzales (Prairie View)</strong> and<strong> Mississippi State's Sam Purcell "HC</strong>" and <strong>Fred Castro</strong> who took me back almost 20 years when<strong> Oklahoma</strong> was recruiting my daughter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Sasha Coughran","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Tompkins","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673a0bb2e7173"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coughran has me rethinking how deep Tompkins can go and when I use the word DEEP, it's because of the multiple long-ball shooters. I witnessed her teammate <strong>Rhinana Deleon</strong> <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/spectacular-saturday-performances-super64/">drop double-digit 3's</a></em></strong> during the club season and held the school record of 10 yet <strong>Coughran </strong>dropped 11 on Friday en route to over 40 points not only did she show she could drop the long ball, but she also attacked off the dribble and had solid court vision across the board </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["564656"],"_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-673a0bb2e71dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dixon has always been smooth and under control yet her ability to score in the flow immediately attracted me to her game a few years ago. After battling back from an injury to again show she is one of the top guards in Texas, she sent a message dropping 39 in various ways on Friday. She continued to create problems for defenders with her pull-up jumper and attacking off the dribble on Saturday yet getting her teammates involved and seeing the floor was equally impressive </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["307749"],"_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-673a0bb2e7229"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gray got it done the hard way yet her resilience is what I have always admired about this young lady and that showed as she came down on the ref's foot, on the jump ball, and wasn't able to play on Thursday yet on Friday came back to lead her team to victory and a spot in the finals. She scored around the basket on Friday, yeah she's long and athletic which will always be the base, yet her midrange was solid, and so was her rebounding and defense which will have her team in the hunt come playoffs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["825291"],"_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-673a0bb2e7270"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Terrell and her first step have been blowing by defenders since I first saw her years ago yet her jumper kept getting better from mid to long-range and it's creating problems for defenders. She also is playing the passing lane as well as anyone in the area I have seen this season plus her defense in the set, as well as baseline to baseline was clicking </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["825294"],"_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-673a0bb2e72b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McLaurin is also "long and athletic" Yep, it's still the base yet her body control after contact coupled with her finishing has her team on my short list to go deep. I enjoy her maneuvering off the dribble from multiple angles, going AFTA everything not only off the rim but in the air because her timing to block, alter, and (or) deflect shots is nice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["307758"],"_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-673a0bb2e72fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Castillo was "ice down the stretch yet when you're a <strong>REAL EVALUATOR</strong> and call a player a <strong><em><a href="https://girlzprepreport.blogspot.com/search?q=rezia">#D1Lock in the 2nd grade</a></em></strong>, nothing she has done surprises me. She put her team on her back down the stretch and her body control, well-defying gravity to finish was special, yes including after contact. She nailed pressure free throws, controlled the tempo, and did a good job of executing for herself as well as her teammates </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
