<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As you all know, the 2027 rankings dropped yesterday, filled with prospects from all over the state. For those who may not know, the rankings list people who contribute to their ball club in a significant manner. Don't get me wrong, everyone isn't a 20-point scorer, however, they do bring some value to the ball club that enables them to compete night in and night out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This past season was definitely an eye-opener as girls rose to the occasion to help propel their team. You can go up and down through each classification, there are girls who skyrocketed out of nowhere onto the scene. They brought more than just value, but played a significant part in the success of their ball club. Here are some hidden gems we found in our state that will be names you will see a lot of in the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1133790"],"_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-681e230bb84a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Can't knock the hustle, this kid proved herself time after time with her style of play. She helped uplift her ball team to new heights by coming in clutch. Scoring, defending, rebounding, her fingerprints were always left on the game in some form or fashion. It didn't matter the stage, venue, or the opportunity; she rose to the challenge and made a name for herself. Keep tabs on this young lady because she has the size and skill to be a special ballplayer when it's all said and done.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821818"],"_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-681e230bb8505"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She is a bruiser who had an awesome end-of-the-year run. Well, she had been doing it all season, but when it came to tournament time, it was like she went into another gear. On both ends of the floor, she dominated, giving her team an edge in every contest. She was big-time, doing the little things to help propel her ball club. She is one to watch because as she adds more to her game, she makes herself and her squad even tougher. A solid prospect with a huge upside.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1122396"],"_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-681e230bb854c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Raw talent that will one day mature into an absolute beast. I just got that feeling, and once it all clicks, it's going to be scary. Coming into a new environment can be tough, there is an adjustment period there if you know what I mean. Once she is comfortable, look out because she's going to thrive. Her ability to utilize her size to score the basketball, block shots, rebound, etc, poses a true threat. This girl is going to impact her program and also carve out a nice following with her style of play.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817921"],"_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-681e230bb858e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">a 6ft stretch forward who is a playmaker. She can bang around the blocks if need be, but her ability to face up and shoot over the top is crazy good. Knock down 3s, swish. High post in the middle of the zone, swish. Drop step here, jab and pop there. This kid can score the basketball and then some. She is selfless and sees the floor well, making timely passes to open teammates for shot attempts. She rebounds with a vengeance and is great in trail ball and transition settings. Solid prospect who is going to continue to shoot up the charts.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1133757"],"_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-681e230bb85cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> One thing about it, Jackson Southside keeps some athletes. This one right here is the next up-and-coming stud. This kid plays with a motor, and you're talking about one that creates havoc. Look no further than this kid right here. She has a knack for being around basketball, and defense is her thing. Poking balls loose, jumping passing lanes, rebounds, the speed kills any type of momentum a team may try to conjure up. Has a nice offensive game as well as she can utilize her foot speed to get to a favorable spot. This kid is nice, and the energy she plays with helps uplift the Southside squad. A true prospect in the making with so much upside.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
