<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I think about the 28s, I believe this is one of the strongest classes in recent years. Top to bottom, a lot of these girls have come into the high school realm more polished. Chalk it up to them playing stiffer competition at an early age, maybe getting a trainer and honing their skills, my point is that the 28 class has come onto the scene and started creating their own pathway towards leaving a legacy.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the 28 rankings, you see a lot of names who are not yet household names, but have the mindset and wherewithal to become one. These girls want to be great and they will strive to do so as they take on foes near and far. These young ladies aren't finished products by any means, but they are breaking through , becoming solid contributors for their clubs now. Keep tabs on this class as they progress throughout the coming years. This class will have plenty of D1 prospects as well as solid collegiate ballplayers that will be building blocks for programs at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some hidden gems (part 2) from the 2028 class that you will need to keep tabs on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822479"],"_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-6832886911e1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This solid post player saw her minutes increased and she rewarded her coaching staff for believing in her. She played with a lot of heart and grit as she battled around the block area. This hardworking kid brought a solid mid-range game to the table along with the ability to finish around the rim. She was big-time on the boards and did the little things that helped propel her ball club. Her game and confidence both grew with the added minutes, look for her to build upon her opportunity and be a solid low-post option for the Lady Raiders for years to come.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1210960"],"_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-6832886911e77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young lady is a solid scoring option for the Lady Panthers ball club. You can't leave her open along the arc because she will cripple your ballclub due to her ability to knock it down from deep consistently. This kid held her own and when it was her time to score, did she so flawlessly. She contributed on the defensive end too, stepping up in a mighty way. Most don't think about her as much as her teammates, however she is the one that surprises you at the end when you are looking at the box scores. This kid is solid and her game grows every time she steps onto the floor.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155024"],"_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-6832886911ecf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Has become a nice viable point guard option for the Lady Eagles ball club. Transitioning from the 2 to the 1, she is a downhill threat that can handle the rock and attack gaps. She can score against contact or stop and pop from 15ft. She too is consistent from 3, so giving her any space on any level is a big no no. She isn't afraid to sit down in a stance and defend. More importantly, any loose ball, she is going after it, diving, jumping out of bounds, the extra hustle plays, that's what this girl is all about. She is a solid two-way player that continues to grind. Look for her to be a solid prospect and uplift this Lady Eagles ball club.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1043275"],"_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-6832886911f18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> This young lady has grown in confidence and you can see it in her game. Karlie has a nice/ lethal jumper that she will display from multiple spots on the floor. This kid can score the rock and she does so at a consistent clip. She can break down a defender with her ball handling or play off-ball and come off screens. Given a little space, the ball is going to touch the bottom of the net. She plays hard on D and will contribute in multiple statistical categories. She is a solid two-way option that will be an intricate part of the Lady Bulldogs' attack this upcoming season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155080"],"_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-6832886911f5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Is ready to step up and fill some big shoes left by their departed seniors. Her game has grown over the past year, and she is playing with more poise and confidence. She has refined her shot, becoming a real threat not only from the arc but also within. She has amazing court vision, handles the rock against pressure, feeds the hot hand with ease, and threads the needle in tight windows. She is a selfless ballplayer who is always working on her craft and getting better. This young lady is ready to take the reins of the program. She is a solid two-way player who is going to leave her mark on this BHS program when it's all said an</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
