<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the grassroots season fully underway and players competing each and every weekend, here are some players in the 2028 class to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985989"],"_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-68339abbac547"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taya has been killing it for FBC this summer, excelling on both ends and being a great leader for her teammates. She handles the ball well, attacking when the defense is playing lazy on her. She can use either hand and can finish with both smoothly too. She knocks down shots when left open and creates open shots for her teammates by attacking the paint and kicking out to her open teammates for an easy shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861885"],"_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-68339abbac5eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaitlyn is going to keep rising and rising as she continues to be more involved in the White River offense. She shoots the ball very well from deep and displayed that all season last year. She also showed the ability to not only crash boards and get rebounds but also find her open teammates by making the extra pass, always being unselfish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985979"],"_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-68339abbac668"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Janelle is one of the most fundamentally sound players in the 2028 class. She can score from all 3 levels, she defends at a high level, she always boxes out, always runs the lanes in transition, and is a vocal player on the court. She rebounds well and knows how to use her body effectively to get the ball off the rim. She is going to keep rising within the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985969"],"_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-68339abbac6be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Here is a rising guard here in Washington state, she excels on both ends but what really stands out to me is her complete offensive game. She can play inside if she has a good matchup in the paint, playing physical and staying strong when going up through contact. She gets her shot off smoothly, being able to create space for it or create enough space to drive by defenders. She brings energy to the court which is contagious for her teammates. She is a future D1 player in my eyes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
