The two-way player is averaging 21.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.4 steals per game while shooting 48% from the field and 43% from beyond the arc. Binswanger has put up these eye opening numbers over a ten game span while showcasing her leadership and ability to adapt to a younger team around her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514601"],"_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-675e55191ce16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I can't say it enough, but Talia is automatic with her jump shot. The 5'4 guard is averaging just under 11 points per game while shooting 45% from the field and 43% from three with over 44 attempts on the season. She is doing this against some of the best teams not just in the state, but the country. Busser plays her absolute best when the competition and pressure is at its highest, she proved that by taking home MVP honors for the Cougars at the Battle of the K tournament last week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514584"],"_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-675e55191ce60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Casey is the best power forward in the 2026 class in SWFL and her play continues to prove that. The 6'0 junior has lead Canterbury to a (6-0) start while averaging 16.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. She is shooting 48% from the field, 44% from beyond the arc and 83% from the free throw line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["275339"],"_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-675e55191cea6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The reigning Sun Preps player of the year is picking up right where she left off. Maya has come out hot this season averaging 20 points, 3 assists and 1.2 blocks per game for Lemon Bay, while helping lead the team to a (3-3) record. The senior does a great job of getting to her spots on the floor and if you take away her first option she utilizes her elite footwork and craftiness to get her shot off still. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["427341"],"_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-675e55191ceeb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'0 senior has truly found her groove as an elite wing scorer, and she proved that with a monster game against power house Cardinal Mooney this past week. O'leary finished the game with 29 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. She impressed me with her ability to get to her spots down the stretch and hit clutch shots to keep the Indians within striking distance against tough Cougar defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["515064"],"_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-675e55191cf2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kathleen is quickly becoming not only the best player in the 2027 class, but one of the best players in the state. The sophomore is averaging 15.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while shooting a Curry like 50% from the floor, 45% from beyond the arc and 93% from the free throw line. Her ability to shoot 50/40/90 while playing unselfish and having a high basketball IQ makes her the complete player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
