Byron’s Top 5 Freshman To Follow This Year

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Entering their first year of high school will be a challenge, but the nerves were probably shaken off during the high school live period, as well as some other summer league games. Below are 5 freshmen who I believe will step into this season and be ready to make an impact from the jump. </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["954119"],"_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-68855ae8ce7d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Johnson has cemented herself as the number 2029 prospect before the season started, and when you watch film or watch live.. You clearly understand why. She's purely gifted. Going into the high school season, she'll be suiting up for a program that isn't new to having high level dominant players on their roster, which leads me to believe she'll be able to develop at a quicker rate than most. This Carmel team does have talented pieces up and down the roster, so a strong season individually and as a unit wouldn't be out of the picture. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["884801"],"_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-68855ae8ce82e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Gage is already looking like a player that will get serious minutes if not be a starter when the official season kicks off.
