<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The listed players, athletes for the [program_tooltip program_id='903323' first='Alabama' last='Twisters Elite'] 17U squad, had a great showing at this weekend's tournament and showcased a lot of potential.

Her timely three-pointers were crucial, shifting momentum in her team's favor when it mattered most. A crafty ball-handler and precise passer, she consistently delivered quick, accurate assists that kept the offense flowing. Defensively, Janiya's aggressiveness stood out—she applied relentless pressure, disrupting the opposing team's rhythm and forcing key turnovers. Her energy and skill on both ends of the floor made her a game-changing presence. What stood out most about Janiya was her unwavering determination—she never gave up, no matter the circumstances. Instead of dwelling on mistakes, she quickly moved on to the next play, often making up for it with a big stop or clutch basket. That mental toughness set the tone for her teammates and spoke volumes about her character. Her leadership was a driving force behind her team's success, as she led not just with her skills, but with her resilience, composure, and ability to lift those around her when it mattered most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["371479"],"_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-6829664a674f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooke delivered a standout performance throughout the tournament, driven by her relentless effort and high basketball IQ. Although a guard, she crashed the boards with intensity, often grabbing rebounds and pushing the pace coast-to-coast. Her court vision and leadership were on full display as she directed traffic, limited turnovers, and consistently found teammates for high-quality scoring opportunities. Offensively, she was nearly unstoppable—knocking down threes, mid-range jumpers, and finishing strong at the rim. Whether it was a set shot, a pull-up, or a downhill drive, Brooke scored at will. On the defensive end, she showed sharp instincts, reading plays, jumping passing lanes, and sparking transition opportunities with quick outlet passes that led to easy buckets. Brooke's best showing came against Team XYZ, where she put on an offensive clinic, missing just one shot the entire game and finishing an incredible 7-for-8 from the field. She was on fire from start to finish, scoring effortlessly from all three levels and keeping the defense on its heels. Her efficiency was unmatched, and she dictated the pace with poise and precision. In that game, she not only lit up the scoreboard but also continued to facilitate at a high level, creating scoring chances for her teammates while maintaining control of the game. It was a performance that highlighted her dominance and complete command on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1090908"],"_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-6829664a6753f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelvyon stepped up in a big way, doing an excellent job of holding her own when subbing in for her teammates. She made an immediate impact with her ability to rebound at will, consistently battling in the paint and securing key possessions. On the defensive end, she protected the rim with authority, blocking shots and making it tough for opponents to score inside. Offensively, Kelvyon stayed composed under pressure, knocking down crucial free throws that helped keep her team in the game during critical moments. Her presence off the bench was steady, reliable, and vital to her team's overall success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220478"],"_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-6829664a67587"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor was a consistent offensive threat and a major spark for her team, especially from beyond the arc. She was on fire from three, stepping up time and time again as a crucial scorer when her team needed it most. Whether it was breaking a scoring drought or swinging momentum, Taylor always delivered—highlighted by a clutch buzzer-beater against Tre Mann Elite going into halftime that gave her squad a much-needed boost. While she played the big position, her game went far beyond the post. She confidently brought the ball up the court, battled on the boards, finished strong inside, and most impressively, shot the ball with zero hesitation. Her ability to stretch the floor and remain steady under pressure made her one of the most valuable and versatile players on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1038993"],"_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-6829664a675ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gracyn was a key offensive weapon for her team, known for her confident and consistent shooting from all over the floor. As one of the team's main shooters, she showcased impressive range, knocking down shots with ease and rhythm. Whether spotting up or shooting off the dribble, Gracyn had the ability to heat up quickly, often hitting back-to-back threes that shifted momentum in her team's favor. Her fearless approach and reliable shot-making made her a constant threat and a major factor in her team's offensive success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Sarah Evans","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pleasant Grove","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='903323' first='Alabama' last='Twisters Elite']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6829664a67671"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sarah was a force on both ends of the floor, standing out as a strong, reliable rebounder and tenacious defender. Offensively, she simply overpowered her opponents—outmuscling them for second-chance points, backing them down in the post, and consistently finishing through contact with several impressive and-one conversions. Her physicality and determination made her nearly unstoppable around the rim. On defense, she made sure nothing came easy, contesting every shot, blocking attempts, and making her presence known in the paint. One of her most memorable moments came on a hustle play, where she chased down an opposing guard on a fast break and swatted the ball out of bounds for a highlight-reel chase-down block. Sarah's toughness and relentless energy were crucial to her team's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kayla Maxwell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hoover","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='903323' first='Alabama' last='Twisters Elite']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6829664a676fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kayla stood out not just for her stats, but for all the little things she did that had a big impact on her team's success. She played disciplined, smart defense—rarely fouling and always being in the right position to help or rotate. Offensively, she excelled in transition, often being the first player down the court, running her lanes with purpose, and making it easy for her teammates to find her for quick, efficient scores. Her shot selection was excellent, and when she took a shot, she made it count—showing consistency and confidence throughout. Kayla's attention to detail, hustle, and ability to make the smart play made her an invaluable part of her team's performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
