Her energy and passion shined through for the entirety of the game as she was so locked in before they even took the court. Olivia's mid-range jumper was lethal &amp; she just couldn't be stopped all game long. She finished her two games in Lakeland with 24.5 ppg, 12 rpg, and 3.5 spg. Big things ahead for this Marshall commit!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["346835"],"_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-67cca37742836"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaida is known to be able to take over a game, and that's just what she did this week. She went 5 for 5 in the second half of the title game and passed the ball so well all weekend. Her game is absolutely going to translate to the next level with how athletic and versatile she is. Jaida averaged 17.5 ppg, 7.5 apg, 4 spg, and 6.5 rpg on her way to lead Palm Bay to their first State Championship!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861097"],"_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-67cdaf37edf72"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Serenity is the only non-senior to make this list. She put the team on her back on the offensive end by getting some clutch buckets as well as drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. On the defensive end, she plays smart and came up with some timely steals and deflections. She averaged 25 points per game to bring Winter Haven it's first State Title since 2018!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["442278"],"_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-67ccc353e80b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noelle played all 32 minutes of the Championship game and has been so valuable to this Bloomingdale team for years. She did a great job of playing within herself and making the smart play &amp; right play for her team to get their first State Championship after heartbreak last season. Noelle averaged 11 ppg and 8.5 rpg, but her veteran presence and poise goes well beyond the stat sheet. Best of luck to her next season staying home at one of the best D2 programs in the country!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["346818"],"_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-67cdb7155063b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden is a playmaker and did all she could to give her team a chance, but GHS came up just short. She averaged 16 ppg, 7 rpg, and 3 apg for the week. In the semifinal she shot it well from deep, but in the championship game she got to the basket - just a testament to her ability to score it from anywhere. JT is the ultimate energizer bunny with a high motor and tremendous athleticism which makes her a joy to watch!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["428046"],"_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-67cdb715506b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Z had some big buckets that were hard to come by for either team in the Final. She seemed to be in the right place at the right time in both games on her way to 13.5 ppg on 12 for 22 shooting to secure the Bulls with their first State Championship. There are few true post players anymore, so she's been a nightmare matchup for teams her entire career. Looking forward to seeing where she lands for the next chapter of her career!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
