She is a true conductor out on the floor and you can see her leadership on display the second the game starts. She is a good ball-handler and doesn't get frazzled by pressure. She has a great hesitation dribble and does a really good job of changing pace and speed. She reads the defense well and does a nice job of driving into the lane and kicking to open teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1052989"],"_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-682e1beb960c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mickellyn is someone that runs under the radar but is starting to gain attention throughout the state. She was selected to the All-State Team this season after having a very good year. She is a tall and long 6' post who can score in bunches. She has potential at the next level due to her size and scoring ability. Killdeer is lucky to have a player like Mickellyn.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["629948"],"_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-682e1beb9610e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tameka is someone who gets better each time I watch her play. She has the physical frame to be a very good high school player and she has the attitude and work ethic to play at the next level. She seems to have put a lot of time into her shot which should translate to better shooting percentages next season. She is off to a hot start this AAU season, recently averaging 17.5 points per game at the Live at The Lakes event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1105984"],"_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-682e1beb96150"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kiaza is a very valuable piece for May-Port-C-G. She does a great job at handling the rock, which allows [player_tooltip player_id='1105980' first='Jordyn' last='Carpenter'] a chance to play off of the ball. This is key to their offense as Jordyn is an absolute sniper from behind the arc. This allows The Patriots to have outstanding spacing in the half-court. Kiaza is a capable scoring option herself. She can get to the rim and does a good job of finishing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217393"],"_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-682e1beb9618e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hudson is tough on the court and a player I would love to have on my team. She is quick and strong, which makes up for her 5'4 height. She uses her body incredibly effectively to navigate against bigger opponents. She does a great job of using ball-screens and getting downhill in a hurry. She finishes very nicely against bigger defenders and is overall a super gritty player on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1162221"],"_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-682e1beb961cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Akealyes had a really nice season and was critical to Turtle Mountain's success this year. She is a great scoring option and helps carry the load on a team that will return its three top scorers. She is an athletic guard and moves well on the floor. She plays with toughness and grit and is a good defender. I predict Turtle Mountain making another run at the state tournament next year and Akealyes being a big reason why.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1212046"],"_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-682e1beb96221"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tess's AAU coach describes her as one of the toughest and hardest working players she has been around.&nbsp; I agree with Coach Dietz's assessment.&nbsp; Tess is super tough and isn't afraid of anyone.&nbsp; She battles with the bigs and is able to hold her own despite being undersized for a 4.&nbsp; You can tell Tess is a great competitor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1047539"],"_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-682e1beb9625e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isabelle is an excellent forward for the Oakes Tornadoes. She is a great size at 5'11 and has really long arms. She is able to contest around the rim and does a great job of defending without fouling. She gaps on the catch and moves her feet well. She has the frame to seal and duck-in effectively around the basket. Isabelle was a big reason to Oakes' success the past season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["629950"],"_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-682e1beb9629d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elsie is a strong post with tremendous upper body strength.&nbsp; She plays very hard and runs well for a post.&nbsp; She is tough to move when she gets good positioning and is able to draw a lot of fouls.&nbsp; She does a nice job of boxing out and pursuing rebounds.&nbsp; She isn't afraid to step out and take the tree.&nbsp; Elsie is going to be a big piece for Fargo South her senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
