<p class="text-gray-700">This past season, Martinez emerged as an important piece for Rio Rancho thanks to her shooting prowess. The combo-guard did a great job stretching the floor, as she ultimately made 37 three-pointers, while connecting at a 30 percent clip. What's more, Martinez reached double-figures in 13/31 games played for the Rams.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Altogether, Martinez put up 9.3 points -- on 38 percent -- to go along with 4.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 4.8 steals per game in 2024-25.</p>

<p>With Hobbs yielding a roster with multiple upperclassman, it was difficult for Everhart to see extensive playing-time in 2024-25. That said, the combo-guard did grace the court from time to time which allowed her to showcase her tremendous handle. Whether in the half-court or in the open-court, Everhart had the rock on a string.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Finley is an intriguing high-energy player who maximized her minutes on the floor this past season by providing steady interior play. In 2024-25, the power-forward became a rotation piece for Coach Vigil, then eventually the full-time starter.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Finley is physical, does not shy away from contact and has a great motor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cash is a budding 5'8" shooting-guard, who is a capable scorer off the bounce that can finish with either hand around the basket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">In all, Cash averaged 6.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game in 28 games played for the Hawks this past season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Back on Feb. 17, Cash erupted for a season-high 22 points vs Organ Mountain. In that game, Cash went 9/16 from the floor.</p>
