As a sophomore, she has great positioning on the block, making herself a great target in the post. She knows what to do with her back to the basket, her footwork is already very, very good. She can also turn and play faceup to the basket, or catch and score from the high post. Maggie is always in right place for rebounds on both offense and defense. She is definitely reliable on defense, plugging up the paint with her long arms and 6'1" frame. She defends well on the block and is a great stopper for driving guards. Look for Foster to keep Poudre strong in the north through the post season in her coming years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910387"],"_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-67b5ffc38a22f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kingdom is defintely one to watch for Boulder. This guard is quick and uses her great handles to get around defenders in both the full court and half court. She has great court vision for her teammates, finding them in the right places for them to score. Remi can also get to her own scoring spots efficiently. She can get to the basket for tough finishes, and is great from the line. Remi can also hit the outside shots from both two-point and the three. On defense, Kingdom is relentless. Her fast hands are always creating turnovers for the Panthers on the perimeter and you will definitely see her battling in the paint for steals and some sneaky rebounds. Boulder is in great hands with this sophomore. </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":"Madalyn u0022Maddieu0022 Kubat","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Fossil Ridge","_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-67b5ffc38a310"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is exciting to wath this player from Fossil Ridge. Kubat is a perfect combo guard. She has the dribbling skills to help in full court pressure, she is also great in the half court offensive sets. She is a taller guard and uses her height great over smaller defenders on the wing. She can hit outside shots consistenly and can get to the paint for buckets as well. Maddie brings the same versatility to defense where she smothers guards with her long arms and quick feet. She can play in tough in the paint and grab rebounds as a a guard too. Kubat is one to keep an eye on for Fossil Ridge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796629"],"_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-67b5ffc38a37c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oder's toughness and guard play is no secret in Boulder. This guard is just what is expected from a combo guard. She has great handles, getting around the defense easily and creating scoring opportunites for both herself and her teammates. She is calm in the half court which allows her to make great passes and find her own scoring in harmony. Lexi is tough with her finishes in the paint and has a smooth jumper on the perimeter. Defensively, Oder is tenacious. She is always involved in creating turnovers in the full court press and in half court pressure as well. She has the quick hands and feet to keep her opponents contained on the wings. She is excellent in the helpside and getting steals from bigger post players. Lexi is a crucial part of Boulder's success this season and for the future. </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":"Creagan Ryan","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Denver South","_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-67b5ffc38a45d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When watching Ryan from Denver South, you have to pay attention to the details. It is easy to see this sophomore has a very high game IQ, she is always getting herself into the right places at the right times. On offense she is strong target for her teammates. She holds her post position well and is strong with the ball in her hands. She is a great post teammate, setting great screens and doing the dirty work on the boards. On the defensive end, her post postion is just a great. She can guard taller, more experienced players (and get stops) with no hesitattion. She is agressive on the boards, grabbing everything in her arms reach and even pushing through traffic for some boards too. Pay attention to Creagan from Denver South as they continue into the post season and as her career continues to grow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
