Players With Exciting Futures

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below we have five high school prospects with exciting futures ahead. Each player has been impactful at the varsity level of their high school program already and they are only looking to build onto that moving forward!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885259"],"_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-67b4ca123c58d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='885259' first='Jaselle' last='Lang'] of Xavier High School will be competing this AAU season with a program out of Cedar Rapids in [program_tooltip program_id='715980' first='Team' last='Iowa']. This program will compete on the Select 40 Circuit throughout the Spring/Summer, playing against some of the toughest competition in the Country. Lang is a SG prospect that primarily succeeds off of the basketball. She is a player that can let it go from deep in a quick moment, usually always giving it a good look from behind the arc. She can also handle the rock a little bit if pressured as well. I'm excited to see what Lang can put together over the next year a half. If she is put in a position to be successful, I'm sure she will make the most of it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1190779"],"_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-67b4ca123c5eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bridgeport High School comes into a situation where they have almost a perfect record and they are looking to make some big waves come this Post Season. Someone out of their 2027 Class, that should be a constant factor for her team is guard, [player_tooltip player_id='1190779' first='Elizabeth' last='Velazquez']. Velazquez won't be her team's main source of production but she does standout each night with the heart she competes with. She seems like a dedicated individual as it pertains to this sport and that's only going to help her grow over time. This Bridgeport team is extremely dominant. They have won a lot of contests by 25+ this season but now things tighten up with the Playoffs so we will see how far they can take things.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1195830"],"_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-67b4ca123c63f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">You can't teach heart and Will. If a player has heart, Will, and determination - they can do some amazing things. Someone that does some real good for her program is [player_tooltip player_id='1195830' first='Grace' last='Bechtel'] of Lake Mills. Grace is a 5'8 PG, that fills up the stat sheet every time she takes the floor. She is tied to be her team's APG leader, showing her worth with the ball in her possession. She can also fill up the bucket by getting all the way to the rim but it seems like she take a lot more pride in distributing to others. Lake Mills has some hoopers. If they continue to work hard, they should continue to see success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1195829"],"_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-67b4ca123c686"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1195829' first='Kate' last='Bechtel'], sister of Grace, is someone that dominates for her program at the Forward position. Kate is a recruit that understands her advantages throughout a contest. She makes sure to use her size at 5'10 as a mismatch against most others near a hoop and that helps her thrive in the Scoring and Rebounding categories of the game. Not to mention, she is a player that defensively can get stops on a consistent basis near the paint because of her nature reach. Most of the time she is quick to react and that along with that length, leads to a lot of tips, deflections, or altercations to the shot itself, usually leading to a missed attempt. Like I said, Lake Mills is going to be an interesting team moving forward. If they play their cards right, they should be pretty successful in the grand scheme of things though.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1091996"],"_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-67b4ca123c6c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm intrigued to see [player_tooltip player_id='1091996' first='Jenna' last='Dontje'] on the AAU floor with her [program_tooltip program_id='866654' first='Iowa' last='United'] program following this Junior season of her's. Dontje, a 6'0 Center/Power Forward, has that mixture of size, power, and knowledge that every coach loves to work with. With her Forest City program, Dontje is a tyrant in the middle, holding her own at an impressive rate. She seems to always know where to be in clutch moments and her willingness on the boards on both sides is a vital factor to her team's success. I think we will see more and more from Dontje as she continues to work on her weaknesses as she moves into her senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
