<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holiday Tournaments, Livestream coverage of regular season and playoff games, and of, course the<strong> Simmie Colson Classic</strong> gave me a good look at several players already on the list, as well as spotting tidbits via social media but one more time, the best way to be evaluated is IN FRONT OF ME and if that doesn't register or matters, you have no complaint because I don't say what I don't see, it's too much of that going on but here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["839900"],"_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-67dd622c70a44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>#12 (Up from #15)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin has taken her game to another level, and her "on the court" improvement was one of many pluses for her Summer Creek High School team, which won state this season. Trying to guard her has become a bigger problem as she attacks and finishes powerfully off the dribble yet her "stop and pop" jumper in transition also shot up.
