Of course with her recent D1 offer, she won't be catching teams by surprise soon. Freeman is another player on Bolles who is deadly on the floor. Why you are focusing on Knauff and McCoy, Freeman might be the one locking down the opposing point guard or stealing the ball in the passing lanes. Freeman is sneaky and as soon as a player beats their matchup to the rim, Freeman is that player who will come from nowhere and steal the ball. Offensively, Freeman is a playmaker who has great speed on the court and an explosive first step. Freeman is an X Factor in the 3A playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249395"],"_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-67b370ca0c8a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='249395' first='Jazlyn' last='Bowman'] is an X Factor in Class 3A. Bowman plays in the wing and can really shoot the ball and teams better keep their eyes on her at all times. Freshman Jaba Oyedeji has been incredible all season and draws plenty of attention, and so does Evans who has the ball in her hands throughout the game. Bowman can handle the ball and can get to the rim. She has a very good feel for the game and can put the ball in the rim. With her ability to shoot the ball under pressure and in the big moment, Bowman could be the difference maker and the X Factor on a very dangerous and talented team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["314842"],"_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-67b370ca0c915"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='314842' first='Samantha' last='Bautista'] is another player teams had better pay attention to. Baptista can handle the rock, get anywhere on the court she wants to and can beat you with the shot or the pass. She can shoot it from anywhere on the floor. Bautista is an X Factor, but by no means she is an underdog. She happens to play with one of the best guards in the State, Jim' Miyah Branton, who is a dominant guard on the floor. Bautista is an X Factor in the 3A playoffs and dangerous as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

At any given time,  these guards could emerge from the shadows of their soon to be D1 teammates. They have the ability to take over a game, make the game winning play, and help their team get to the next round in the playoffs.   These players are some of the top players in Class 3A and are the X Factors.
