<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='715500' first='Magic' last='Basketball'] is a notable program that represents players from all over Western Kansas. Even though the team members come from different towns and backgrounds, they have created a strong identity based on unity, hard work, and playing the game properly. The program focuses on player development and personal growth, which fosters a culture where athletes succeed both on and off the court. This is a program that is grounded in purpose and shared values. By bringing together players from across the region, it establishes an environment where athletes learn to compete, support one another, and grow in every aspect of life. The outcomes are evident: a team that wins with integrity and shapes well-rounded individuals prepared for the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893503"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1261900,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6858df21e8f35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natalie is a smart player who consistently lifts the performance of those around her. As a primary ball-handler and playmaker, she shows excellent court vision, solid decision-making, and a natural sense of tempo and flow. Her skill in reading defenses and creating chances for her teammates is the core of her game. This makes her a valuable asset in both fast breaks and half-court situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["935242"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1261902,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6858df21e8fcb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With the Magic team being left shorthanded after injuries, Rielly had to play as a big for her team this weekend. Her game goes well beyond the paint, though. She combines strength and aggression with impressive ball-handling skills for her size. This makes her a tough matchup for most defenders. Rielly brings a physical, fearless presence to the floor, along with skill that makes her more than just a typical big. Her strong finishes and solid ball-handling make her a versatile and valuable player on both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893821"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1261908,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6858df21e904a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emma is a classic glue player who excels at the little things that may not show up in the box score but are crucial for winning. She gives relentless effort on both ends of the floor and contributes significantly through hustle, defense, and smart team play. Emma is the kind of player every coach wants: tough, unselfish, and dependable. She sets the tone with her energy, defensive grit, and readiness to do the hard work. Her scoring comes from her effort and smart movement, making her an invaluable part of the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"500"}},"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:500"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
