My Notebook: Summer Stars

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are a few athletes that shined during the summer travel ball season: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["583370"],"_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-68898b11eb6f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walden isn't a star in the making. She is a star right now! Anything you can do, Skylar can do better. Offensively, she is deadly on the attack. She is deadly from behind the arc. She is one of the best guards in TN at pulling up in transition to knock down the long ball or any outside shot. Walden lives up to all of the "hype" and she is going to continue to shine on any court she plays on. She recently picked up an offer from Western Carolina University, and she continues to add to her bag! Junior season is loading, and it is going to be a fun one to watch. Get your popcorn ready to watch this kid!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722078"],"_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-68898b11eb752"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It wasn't too long ago when Kellogg was tested taking on a new school in a new state, and she met that challenge head on. She's one of the top athletes in the state of West Virginia, and no one is stopping Kayli! Now, we are witnessing her test to a different type of adversity. I advise everyone to follow her journey, because this is an athlete that will come out on top, and overcome! The truest statement is, "control what you can control" and Kayli is still in the gym putting up shots. The number one shooter in the state doesn't shoot that high of a percentage without putting in the work. She dominated the entire summer before her injury. This kid is going places that most athletes can only dream about. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728706"],"_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-68898b11eb7b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is taking her talents to La Salle University. On 7/15, she announced on twitter (X) that she was 110% committed. Sophi had an amazing summer of basketball on every court she played on. She is the guard that can run your offense at the next level efficiently and consistently. She has one of the highest basketball IQ's, and she is ready for the next level. She has great court awareness and her instincts are unmatched. She's a vet on both ends of the court and it shows! Senior year is officially loading! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513233"],"_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-68898b11eb858"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What "eval" does Natalya need? She doesn't need one. She has played the game to the beat of her own drum, and she has worked harder than most athletes. She made the sacrifices, and she put in the time to be great! She recently put out her "top 7" and whoever lands this star at the next level knows exactly what they are getting. They are getting a winner. They are getting a champion. They are getting an absolute baller that will outwork anyone. So, now we all need to stay tuned to see who she picks between Florida State, Baylor, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Arizona, Arizona State, or Missouri. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["721985"],"_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-68898b11eb89d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Consider this one a sleeper no more! If you didn't know Breckenridge you better know her name now! This kid was a part of the 16U GUAA WV Thunder squad, and she continues to do whatever is asked of her. I love her ability to play different guard spots. In my opinion, Rayana's defense will be a huge separation factor for her. She has the ability to make your best offensive threat struggle! If you have eyes on the '27 class in WV, you definitely want eyes on this one! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
