She's averaging 18.7 points per contest and has knocked down a team-high 21 threes. The 5'7" point guard is the offensive leader for one of the most prolific scoring offensives throughout the entire state in group 1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Battavio led the Wolverines to the South Jersey Group 1 championship game last year, suffering a 54-53 loss to Wildwood, and is keeping them back in the mix again this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["601419"],"_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-67834ddf9e22b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wood makes most of the magic happen for Pennsville, who is off to a streaking 5-2 start after finishing last season at .500. The point guard leads the team in scoring with 93 points, assists with 51, and three-pointers with 13. She has no problem driving and executing at the rim, but the long-range shot is where she has recently excelled. Most notably, she knocked down a season-high six threes in a non-league victory over Buena Regional on December 27.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2RQaah">http://www.hudl.com/v/2RQaah</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879771"],"_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-67834ddf9e288"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The senior is averaging an impressive 21 points per game for Penns Grove en route to a 5-2 record. She leads the team with 11 three-pointers but is best when attacking and executing at the net. Her court awareness is key to the Red Devils' early season success, as she has a great vision of the court and makes the right passes at the right time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The combo guard also plays gritty defense and has racked up numerous steals this winter. </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":"Naveah Robinson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Schalick","_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-67834ddf9e32d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On a team with no senior on the varsity roster, Robinson stands out as a freshman who has been lighting it up for the Cougars. An all-around player, she leads the team in points (49), three-pointers (8), and assists (13). She's also proved to be an efficient rebounder. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schalick is off to a rocky 2-4 start through six games, and Robinson has averaged 12 points in each of those wins. In a 22-point victory against Overbrook on December 20, we saw a flash of her potential with 18 points and a career-high four three-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["525557"],"_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-6783d15d89788"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also a 1,300-point scorer, Donelson complements [player_tooltip player_id='414352' first='Talia' last='Battavio'] perfectly in this powerful Woodstown offense. In a huge overtime victory over Wildwood in a battle of the top teams in South Jersey Group 1, the 5'6"combo guard led the way with a team-high 13 points. In pressure situations, she didn't hesitate to attack the net and it paid off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>See her postgame interview and highlights below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/tortreports/status/1877540467174179093?s=46","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/tortreports/status/1877540467174179093?s=46 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
