<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The gym was buzzing Friday night at The Smoke, and the energy only picked up as games rolled on. From the jump, it was clear that the three-point line was going to be a hot spot - and it didn't disappoint. Player after player stepped up and delivered from deep, knocking down shot after shot with confidence. Whether it was corner threes, quick releases in transition, or clutch makes late in games, the gym was full of shooters putting on a show. Let's take a look at a few players lighting up the nets Friday evening at Grand Valley.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751136"],"_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-682809ce2bf48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brynn in a lengthy guard who stood out with her shooting touch Friday evening at The Smoke.

The smooth-shooting lefty has a quick trigger and doesn't need much space to get her shot off. Her confidence from deep kept the defense on high alert.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["924008"],"_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-682809ce2c02b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kate was locked in from deep Friday evening at The Smoke, draining multiple threes to help lead her team to a win. The Northwood commit is a do-it-all type of player who impacts the game in countless ways, and her hot hand from long range added another layer to her performance. She's a tough, versatile competitor who brought it on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735838"],"_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-682809ce2c068"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ky played a key role in her team's two wins Friday evening at The Smoke, showcasing her ability to connect from beyond the arc.
