She converted tough layups off two feet inside throughout the tournament and used another effective pivot to score a powerful and-one through contact. Lynelle caught an entry pass in the high post, used a forward pivot, ripped the ball across her face, drove downhill with her left hand into a jump stop, then pivoted to drop in a soft floater over the defender. Lynelle had a great weekend with [program_tooltip program_id='834910' first='Example' last='Sports'] Select 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514883"],"_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":1254290,"_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-683f987731ef6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chellise has height, power, and passion that stand out when she steps onto the court with [program_tooltip program_id='834910' first='Example' last='Sports'] Select 2026.

She drained a triple, high-pointed an entry pass in the paint to score with her left-hand off two feet, and used a crossover dribble to beat her defender for a layup. On Sunday, Teagan added an exclamation point with 18 points in her final game. She deflected the ball off a driving player to cause a turnover, dished an accurate bounce pass for an assist, and chased down rebounds. Teagan attacked downhill, side-stepped a defender using a sweet high-pick-up move, and finished the layup off two feet. She made a great read on an inbounds play, catching the pass in the corner, faked a DHO, then drove down the baseline with long strides for another layup. Teagan's length and mobility make her an effective defender around the basket and on the perimeter. She helped [program_tooltip program_id='713036' first='Wisconsin' last='Academy'] to a 4-1 record and had a great Victory Region Finals weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
