She is nationally ranked and has a plethora of Division 1 offers that she has now narrowed down. She can dunk the ball with ease now, catching pre-game lobs with no problem at all. She attacks from the wing nicely, using her length and strength to her advantage. Her post moves are fantastic, having incredible footwork and a very soft touch around the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["317132"],"_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-67881a1e0946d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooklynn is such a dynamic player on the court, showing out each and every night for her team. She scores from all 3 levels, showing off an extremely elite jump shot. She can knock down shots from long range with no problem with her lighting quick release and green light to let it fly. Haywood attacks with both hands just as smoothly, keeping defenders on their toes at all times. She is currently averaging over 30 points a game and can dish out 8-10 assists a night too, all while dropping 7+ threes with no problem. She's a Division 1 player whose game will translate smoothly to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["585032"],"_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-67881a1e094d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaleo continues to dominate for Kings, helping them be a top 1A team in the entire state. She is a 6'0” pure guard who can both score and pass the ball just as effectively. She controls the pace of the game well, forcing other teams to go at her pace and maintaining control of the ball/game. She has the size to guard multiple positions, being an elite defender too. With most the attention on her while Kings is on offense, she does a great job at locating her open teammates and giving them accurate passes for easy buckets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["317597"],"_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-67881a1e09533"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashley is the leader for this talented Lake Washington team, helping elevate all her teammates games on the court. She leads by example and she scores from all 3 levels offensively with ease. She can really shoot the ball and has displayed that for a couple years now. If defenders play close tight defense on her, she can put the ball on the floor and use her speed to get right by her defender. She hustles every possession and crashes the boards hard, being a top rebounding guard in the entire state. She's looking to help lead Lake Washington to a state championship this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["579809"],"_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-67881a1e09586"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shayla is an elite point guard who has been showcasing her elite skills all season long. She fills up the stat sheet every night by dishing out assists, crashing the boards hard, creating turnovers on the defensive side, and of course by putting the ball in the bucket. Cordis is patient when attacking the ball, never forcing anything and taking what the defense gives her. She hasn't missed a step since transferring over and is ready to help lead her new team to a deep playoff run in the state tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
