<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the regular season comes to a close, several under-the-radar players in 4A have been making a major impact for their teams. These hidden gems have been key contributors on both ends of the floor, helping their squads stay competitive and push for postseason success. From dynamic scorers to defensive anchors, each of these players brings something special to the table. Keep an eye on them as the playoffs approach they might just be the difference-makers when it matters most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893363"],"_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-67b7c5cc02dd6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='893363' first='Maddie' last='McNair'] has been a steady presence for undefeated University, making plays on both ends of the court. She has the ability to finish around the rim, using her length and athleticism to scoring. When her team's offense stalls, she has been a reliable option to keep things going. On defense, she is versatile, capable of guarding both the perimeter and the paint, making her a huge part of the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1198713"],"_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-67b7c5cc02e3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1198713' first='Courtney' last='Steinkamp'] has been Eaton's go-to scorer, leading the way with21.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. She has delivered in big games, proving she can carry her team to victory. With Eaton currently at fourth in 4A, her ability to take over games will be needed in the postseason. Expect Courtney to play her game as things start to heat up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510717"],"_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-67b7c5cc02e9e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexcia has been the X-factor for Holy Family, making winning plays in every part of the game. While she isn't a selfish offensive player, she knows how to pick her spots and relies on her teammates to get her ball.  When necessary, she can attack one-on-one and is also a legit three-point threat when defenders sag off or help elsewhere. Her all round game makes her an important piece for Holy Family as they prepare for the postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910390"],"_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-67b7c5cc02ee3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='910390' first='Neve' last='Gustafson'] has been a bright spot for Peak to Peak, providing minutes at the guard position. She thrives in transition, attacking the rim with confidence and putting pressure on defenses. Along with her ability to get to the basket, she has also developed into a decent three-point shooter.

She has been a consistent scorer, finding ways to finish in the paint and keeping defenses on their heels. On defense, her impact is just as strong, she rebounds well and defends without fouling. As Timnath looks to make a postseason run, [player_tooltip player_id='899784' first='Olivia' last='']'s play will play a huge part. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
