This game has such peaks and valleys, and you must have the right temperament to ride the waves to have success. I wanted to point that out because no one out here on this circuit is going to have an undefeated season (maybe). You are going to have days where you are on fire and days where it may seem like you can't hit the bottom of the ocean. Being out there and handling that adversity is what matters. Coaches want to see you struggle just as much as they want to see you thrive. With that in mind, go out and play your best and be the best version of you. Even if you can't score, do something else that can help your ball club be successful.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This article is about kids who really just go out and hoop. There isn't a rhyme or reason why their play stood out other than the fact that they just kept going. If they missed a shot, they went to grab the rebound. If they turned it over, they went back to chase that person down. It was about putting together multiple efforts and being resilient. Oh, and of course, they contributed by scoring and being solid in other phases of the game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some young ladies who really stepped up in Houston, TX.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["792288"],"_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-682b50f9d8ba1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sizzle. This girl is always giving multiple efforts, no matter what it is. She is phenomenal with the basketball in her hands. She can score playing with her back to the basket. She can fill it up in an ISO situation where she can jab and pull up or attack and create to finish around the rim. She blocks shots, rebounds the basketball, and is solid on the defensive end. Just a solid kid who is leaving her mark as one of the best in the state.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514128"],"_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-682b50f9d8c2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid has a high basketball IQ and sees the floor well. She has a motor on her that enables her to be aggressive and attack downhill. She is a selfless ball player who can kick out and dump to open teammates for easy shot attempts. Plays with poise, and when her team needs a bucket, she steps up and delivers. Can score from all 3 levels and then turn around and defend. Solid ball player who is continuing to get better and increase her stock amongst coaches.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155014"],"_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-682b50f9d8c8e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This quiet assassin steps onto the floor and just competes. She's getting stronger and stronger with each outing, and she is holding her own as she delivers on the floor. Tempo is a kid who can utilize her size to exploit an opponent's weakness. She can stretch the floor, shooting from afar or attacking. She is solid on the boards, going up high and grabbing the ball with both hands. Had a great showing in TX this past weekend. This kid has great size and solid speed, but impacts the game in multiple ways.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821821"],"_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-682b50f9d8cf7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Athletic forward who uses her size and speed to her advantage. This kid had a showing this past weekend, going toe-to-toe with some pretty good talent. Not only did she hold her own, but she turned around and gave them the business as well. She was solid on the defensive end, grabbing boards, blocking shots. She found her stroke from the field, putting the ball in the hole more often times than not. She competed her tail off and displayed a lot of grit when going up against opponents. This kid is solid and impacts the game in more ways than one. Keep an eye on her as she continues to get better and stack big-time performances, such as she did this past weekend.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["371481"],"_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-682b50f9d8d6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She may not be from the state of Tennessee (just over the line), but this kid dons a Tennessee club jersey. She was on a tear this weekend, scoring 20+ points in multiple games. She's a shifty guard who can get into the paint or carve someone up from the arc. She was letting it fly and doing so at a consistent clip. She's a hungry individual, and it showed especially on the defensive end, where she was getting steals and deflections. This kid is solid and would be a steal for a program at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
