You can put this one on any list; stock-riser, glue player, gamechanger, etc. I love her ability to jump out of the gym. She's a great two-way player. She is long, and athletically gifted! She is an athlete that could go for 20 points on any given night, but she makes the game winning, correct plays. She doesn't have to "gets hers" to be impactful. She does whatever it takes and it continues to show! She is one of the best defenders in the state. She will lock anyone up, and she will guard the best player! She's a winner, and she's a state champ! Catch her FBC Reign team this summer, and don't be late to watch her have a HUGE senior season! This kid is 110% legit in all aspects of the game! She is going to be a next level athlete, and she is going to be a good one!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Check out her highlights: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18812402/6811223ba244a73c9ed3f2c7">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18812402/6811223ba244a73c9ed3f2c7</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
