Amens gets in the mix on both ends and can create from all three levels. She drained the step back three, hit the turnaround jumper in the paint, and drew the foul on a strong take to the rim against NW Legends 16U EYBL at the End of the Trail NW Showcase. She can blow by on the bounce in the halfcourt set and in transition. Amens played strong defense on and off the ball. After winning a rebound she took off and beat everyone down court on the bounce for the fast break layup. The 6A state champion averaged 4.1 points and 1.7 assists per game as a spark off the bench for Tualatin her freshman year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["902188"],"_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-68797efc38f5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='713147' first='Oregon' last='Elite'] Navy 17U 5-foot-10 guard [player_tooltip player_id='902188' first='Sofia' last='Rodriguez'] is a shooter with good vision and shot selection. Rodriguez maneuvered inside to create her own look off the bounce from the midrange and consistently knocked down catch-and-shoot threes against [program_tooltip program_id='837906' first='Maurice' last='Lucas Lady Enforcers'] 17U and NW Legends 17U EYBL at the End of the Trail NW Showcase.

Durham was great on the bounce and productive on the boards, finishing direct takes to the rim and rebounding on both ends at the End of the Trail NW Showcase. She takes care of the ball and is a reliable defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1263197"],"_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":1252170,"_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-68797efc39054"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">FBC Tropics 6-foot-1 center/forward [player_tooltip player_id='1263197' first='Payton' last='Warner'] is a big presence inside and is gaining confidence setting the pick-and-roll, slashing to the rim, and taking care of the ball. Warner rebounds on both ends and uses her length to protect the paint and the rim. She got up to deliver a perfectly timed block against the opposing Meta Hoops 17U 3SSB 6-foot-3 big at the End of the Trail NW Showcase. Warner came off the bench for West Albany her freshman year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gracey Taylor","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Redmond","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Central Oregon Force","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68797efc390dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Central Oregon Force 17U 5-foot-8 guard Gracey Taylor has good handles and a pretty shot.
