Brianna is a good spot-up shooter with solid size for a wing. She does a nice job defensively and can mix it up in the paint. Briar lost their next game, but this team has a nice nucleus for the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Isabel Conklin","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Woodson ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c3bf5e17adf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woodson beat Falls Church early in the week and Junior Forward Isabel Conklin had a huge game. Isabel is a good rebounder and does a nice job finishing in the paint. Isabel's a terrific defender, and she is a big part of a solid Woodson defense. Isabel had 27 against Falls Church.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["935995"],"_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-67c3bf5e17b64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heritage punched their ticket to the state playoffs for the first time in school history in a blowout over Loudoun County. [player_tooltip player_id='935995' first='Julia' last='Ehrmantraut'] had an outstanding game in this one. She knocked down 6 threes and finished with 20 points. Julia does a terrific job moving without the ball and is a knockdown shooter. Heritage is an outstanding defensive team and Julia is one of their better defenders. Heritage also went on to win their first regional title later in the week in a win over Woodgrove.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["848973"],"_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-67c3bf5e17be1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='848973' first='Grace' last='Ellingson'] was terrific down the stretch in Gainesville's win against Colonial Forge in the regional semi-finals. Grace scored Gainesville's final 12 points to close out a Colonial Forge team that was gaining some momentum. Grace is a knockdown shooter and the ideal off-guard. Grace tore her ACL late last year so it is great to see her perform in the postseason after not playing last year's playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985809"],"_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-67c3bf5e17c50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another Heritage player who had an impressive week was [player_tooltip player_id='985809' first='Alyssa' last='Stanford']. Alyssa has led this team all year and she along with the rest of this Heritage team has been a surprise. Alyssa is a double-double machine and she had another one against Woodgrove in the regional final. All year Alyssa has been excellent on both ends and she has been the best player in a program that isn't accustomed to this kind of success. Alyssa averaged 16 PPG and 10.5 RPG this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
