Rising Juniors Up For Any Challenge

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think just about everyone across the country has been experiencing rising temperatures, but I'm here to talk about the rising stock of some female athletes in the hoop state.  As the travel season continues and knowing the high school season will be here before we know it, let's chat about some rising juniors that I'm excited to follow.  Here's what they have been up to so far this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

job getting herself ready for the bucket stepping back to hit the jumper.  She had a perfect pass making the defense collapse around her and hitting her teammate flashing to the basket to extend the lead late in the game.  She was consistently showing off her handles making plays for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

front of passes for the steal.  She did well playing tough defense to close out the game sealing the victory for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

free throw line making her an easy target for the entry pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
