Her game has really improved the last 12 months, she's ready for the next phase of her basketball career, which is getting ready for the next level! Has a nice touch out behind the arc. I look for a really nice senior year ahead for her!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
