She is a true 6'2 and is incredibly athletic and long. She is what colleges dream of in a prospect. When they see Megan warming up this summer at her AAU events, they will immediately make note of her due to her basketball frame. Megan had a solid season and was certainly in the conversation of being an All-Conference player. She finished the season averaging 10.4 points per game, 4.6 rebounds, and 3 assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stock Riser</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1056624"],"_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-67ddec8c79cda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dacota had a special season for the Hi-Liners, helping lead her team to a State Championship. She was voted onto the All-Region team as well. She is a long lefty that seems to find her way past defenders to get to the rim. Her size and physicality allows her to finish strong by the basket. Her size and arm length greatly contribute to Valley's tough defense. She had a great season and will be looking to improve upon the success she had this season going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Hidden Gem</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1054372"],"_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-67ddec8c79d1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1054372' first='Bree' last='Rose'] was voted as an All-Region player and helped lead South-Prairie Max to a 26-2 overall record and a third-place finish at the State Tournament. The Royals were just shy of getting to the championship and Bree will come back hungry to help her team get over the hump next season. She is a great athlete and solid basketball player who doesn't make a lot of mistakes. She finished the season averaging 8.7 points per game, 4 rebounds and 1.5 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><i>S</i>tock Riser</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["469472"],"_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-67ddec8c79d64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aubrey is a terrific talent and led Benson County to the State Title this season. She was also voted to the All-Tournament team and voted Tournament MVP. She did a little bit of everything for her team but was her team's best scorer. She is slippery going to the basket and is a good athlete. She is a very good outside shooter and will let it fly from anywhere on the court. She plays the game the right way and was rewarded with a season to remember in 24-25.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stock Riser</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["359445"],"_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-67ddec8c79daa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cara's Garrison Troopers unfortunately missed out on getting to the State Tournament this season due to playing in a very good Region. She still led them to a great season, finishing with 18 wins. Cara is a very nice player and one of the savviest players in the state. I like her ability to play with pace and her decisions with the ball. She can get to the rim and also shoot from outside. Cara is the type of player who is going to use this season as motivation going forward and will come back next season an even better player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stock Riser</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["641207"],"_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-67ddec8c79df0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abby was really good this season and help Bismarck to a WDA Tournament Title and a Runner-Up finish in the State tournament. She was the Patriots most efficient scorer and ended up averaging 13.3 points per game. She is a tough athlete and can make difficult finishes over opponents going to the rim. She is a tenacious defender and tough competitor. Abby will be Century's best returning player next season and I look forward to seeing how she improves this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
