Sweet 16: Under The Radar Prodigies

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When the lights are brightest in the sweet 16, the pressure accumulates. The enormity of the moment gets to certain players, while for others, the pressure doesn't phase them. Here's a handful of elite ball players who are on track for jaw dropping performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510724"],"_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-67c8b7b06182a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='510724' first='Mairead' last='Hearty'] is one of the smoothest ball players East has. Standing at 6'3, Hearty dominates the post and has exceptional court awareness, being able to locate her teammates often. Scoring the ball has never been a problem for Hearty, converting heavily from the mid range and blocks. Among the array of stars that East has, expect Mairead to turn up the heat in the sweet 16 tonight. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893434"],"_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-67c8b7b06188c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='893434' first='Kortny' last='Brock'] has been a crucial piece of the puzzle for Columbine thus far.

Beers will be a key factor in Valor's hopes to win back to back state titles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
