<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Continuing the Week 13 coverage, I thought of a song for the week, “Coming in Hot.” As we get closer to postseason play (or starting it in some instances), tons of girls are putting on strong performances as we approach the finish line. Postseason play may be right around the corner, however, we are still seeing strong performances as if we were in week 1 coming out of the gates. That's a testament to the mental fortitude of our student-athletes. This is a long season and our kids are still grinding.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As I mentioned before we are at the finish line of the regular season. Monday and Tuesday have kicked off a stellar week 13. With one game to go, how will teams finish as they jockey for position in the standings?&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some outstanding performers from Monday and Tuesday in Week 13.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1154930"],"_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-67acb84b38c50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Is just built differently. She hasn't wasted a moment and has taken hold of this opportunity to see the floor early. This combo guard has been on a tear, lighting up the nets. She has posted up games where she has scored 40,39,37, and multiple 20-point games. This kid plays with tons of speed and can finish at the rim with ease.&nbsp; This kid is for real and she is off to a great start in her high school career. Keep your eye on this freshman as she will be climbing on coaches' radars from the next level.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["889934"],"_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-67acb84b38cbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Was filling it from the field as she helped her Lasy Bruins to victory. This sharpshooter dropped 22 points and held her follow-through high as they declawed the Lady Eagles. OC may not get a lot of praise, but she is solid and as consistent as they come. She does the little things that help add value to her ballclub. Look for her to finish the year strong and help push the Lady Bruins on a magical postseason ride.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513278"],"_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-67acb84b38d0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big Red was red hot. KM is one tough individual to stop especially around the blocks. Don't get me wrong she can do multiple things inside the arc such as work the high/ low game, screen game, and knock it down from the the short corner. When she is on the blocks, she is deadly. She dropped 20 points in her team's win over Grace. Look for her to continue to be the X factor for the Lady Lions in the postseason.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["813470"],"_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-67acb84b38d4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's putting everyone on notice. I told you last week this is the time when she comes alive. She thrives in moments like this. She has ice in her veins. She dropped 27 points with 5 three-pointers and grabbed 8 rebounds. And she had her opponent in a seatbelt. Well, look for the Lady Knights to enter the postseason hot, especially with Nyla at the helm.&nbsp;<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039169"],"_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-67acb84b38d8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's like a bull in a china shop. This kid is super tough and attacks the game like it's no one's business. Scored 16 in her club's win over Giles Co. She was getting it done from multiple spots on the floor. Add in her defensive prowess, this kid is a solid freshman who is an absolute stud. Take notes and keep an eye out for this kid. Special talent who is gonna take off real soon.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
