<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lady Eagles of Van Buren Co. are one of the top solid programs in the Single A division. These ladies collectively play hard, get it done in the interior, light it up from deep, are pests on the defensive end, and gain rebound better than most teams. They play with a lot of energy and effort. They slow the opposition down with their stifling defense and put up points like no other.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each and every year, this club has the mindset of winning district championships. This club controls their own destiny. Playing a tough non conference schedule, the Coach Sapp has them primed and ready for district play. Even though last year they didn't make it to the Elite 8, this team is always in talks for state contention each and every year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lady Eagles are solid 1-5 and have contributors that come off the bench who bring value to the table. Every minute each girl earns maximizes their opportunity as they leave no stone unturned. There isn't a down side or drop off too much in their attack. They just keep coming at you doing so with precision. This club is destined to have a great year and through their hard work and preparation this offseason, look for them to come out the gates ready to compete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some Lady Eagles who will be soaring high this upcoming season.</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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1122446' first='Cara' last='Mills']","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Van Buren Co.","_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-674f41a2db275"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big anchor in the middle who gets the job done by any means necessary. Offensively she is a dynamic player that works the block area efficiently. Nice back to the basket moves, always in the right position to get second chance opportunities, this kid is a double-double pretty much every time she steps onto the floor. Defensively, she can deter shots, control the boards, and makes it tough for post players to operate in the painted area. Look for her to have a tremendous year and be a force for this Lady Eagles ball club.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1133790' first='Abigail' last='Netherton']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Van Buren Co.","_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-674f41a2db315"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Young sophomore guard coming into her own. This kid is tough to deal with as she can score it from all three levels. Heady ballplayer who makes the right plays and the right reads. Solid on both ends of the floor, she plays with a lot of energy and effort, giving it all she has each and every possession. This kid is in growth mode and look for her to continue on this trajectory the more minutes she gains this season. Solid kid who is going to turn some heads this season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1122631' first='Ellie' last='Grissom']","_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":"Van Buren Co.","_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-674f41a2db3a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solid all around guard who just competes. She does the little things that help propel her ball club. Of course she can knock down shots from multiple spots on the floor, but it's her effort on the defensive end that separates her from most. Great court awareness, goes the extra mile to keep plays alive, this kid lives and dies with each possession on both ends of the floor. Look for her to help this ball club reach their goal of returning back to Murfreesboro. Solid kid who plays every possession like it's her last.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822408"],"_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-674f41a2db3fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Transferred player who will look to come in and carve out her role within this Lady Eagles ball club. This kid is nice from the arc, but will finish on the interior as well. I love her defensive prowess where she is in the right spot at the right time to make plays. Fundamentally sound, this kid works hard at her craft and will do whatever it takes to help her ball club win. Solid ballplayer who continues to get better each and every game.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["900278"],"_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-674f41a2db441"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another kid who transferred in will give the Lady Eagles some valuable minutes. Heady basketball player who prides herself on the defensive end. From getting steals, blocking shots, obtaining rebounds, she stifles the defense, slowing them down from doing what they want to do. Emma is nice from around the midrange and within. Her game is evolving and continues to get better every time she steps onto the floor. Look for her to be a solid contributor for this ball club as they reach new heights.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
