X Factor Guards in the Class 3A Playoffs

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.    [player_tooltip player_id='823463' first='Presley' last='Norman'] is definitely one of the X Factors in the Class 3A.   Bolles features [player_tooltip player_id='346820' first='Abby' last='Knauff'],  one of the most prolific scorers in the State.   Knauff is going to get a lot of attention and so will [player_tooltip player_id='751625' first='Terrell' last='McCoy'] on the inside. Norman is a player that will get you 15 to 20 on any given night and shoots the three ball at over 40 percent. Norman can handle and play the one through the three. Norman lives for the big play and is at her best when the game is on the line.     [player_tooltip player_id='346856' first='Sy'monique' last='Simon'] is definitely a X Factor player.  Teams will focus on Barnett and Mignery,  but they had better keep an eye on Simon.  Simon is that player who defends the opposing team's best scorer or ball handler.  She combines strength, agility, athleticism, and determination and lives for the big moment.  Simon can also score the ball when needed (1000 point scorer).  Finally,  the most telling part of  why she is an X Factor is her ability to adapt to the situation and style of play.     [player_tooltip player_id='514608' first='Evelyn' last='Freeman'] is also an X Factor in the Class 3A playoffs. 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.     [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.     [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.

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.
