She is a super defender, often being tasked with defending the opponent's best player. She jumps-to-the ball really well and is always in a great defensive stance. She crashes the glass hard and runs the floor hard. She will be asked to be more of a scorer next year as a senior and I think she is up to the challenge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248248"],"_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-682b85a538bc2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reese was a key reserve for the Packers this previous season.&nbsp; She is a 5'8 guard who came in and was a positive piece for her team.&nbsp; She is a very smart player and someone who doesn't make a lot of mistakes.&nbsp; She can knock down the open three if she gets her feet set.&nbsp; She has good vision with her passing.&nbsp; I think Reese could find herself a bigger role her senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248249"],"_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-682b85a538c16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Audra found herself playing spot minutes off of the bench at times during her junior season.&nbsp; Audra has really long arms for a guard and moves her feet well defensively.&nbsp; I think she has all of the tools to be a really good defender.&nbsp; She plays hard and is a really good teammate.&nbsp; Audra is someone I would love to have on my team as a coach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248250"],"_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-682b85a538c66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ava is Miss Do-It-All for the Rockets. She is probably their best athlete and strongest player. She can bring the ball up and initiate the offense but is more comfortable off of the ball. She plays the bottom of their 1-2-2 half-court zone and does a great job of moving to the correct spot and rebounding the ball. She is a good scoring option in the half-court, particularly from the high post. New Rockford-Sheyenne ran a lot of double post action and Ava was excellent in their offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248251"],"_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-682b85a538cb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Valerie is a very solid point guard and is going to be critical for Wyndmere to have a good season next year. She moves extremely well and has a really strong base. She is great at coming back to the ball on 'outlet' passes and leading the fast-break. She is great at setting the offense up and settling down her team when they get sped up. She is an excellent defender and can compete with taller girls due to how strong she is.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
