The Biggest Stage: One Team Shined Brighter Than The Rest

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven kids joined as one to take on the biggest stage in Kentucky at the Run 4 Roses Classic! The [program_tooltip program_id='712974' first='TN' last='Flight'] Silver E40 team won the platinum championship in the blue division! It is hard for many to believe that this is a newly formed team that has only been together for about 3 months! Check out the players below: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747656"],"_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-68730e06a233c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I can't name many athletes that are playing better basketball than Mills! Shelbie continues to shoot the ball at an extremely high clip. She dominated the championship game at the roses drilling in 7 long balls. The fact that she shot 7-8 from 3 point range is a testament to the time that she puts in! Mills holds offers to play at the next level. She recently picked up one from UVA Wise, &amp; she will continue to earn more! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821770"],"_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-68730e06a23a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hunt is one of the hardest working athletes on the court at all times! She stepped up huge during the championship game, finishing with 17 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals. If you want a do-it-all guard, you want Riley! She continues to be a relentless athlete on both ends of the court. She's confident on the floor, and it shows in her decision making. I love her decisiveness and her leadership! If you don't have Riley on your radar, I'll reiterate to put her down ASAP! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["747655"],"_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-68730e06a23ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What more can possibly be said about Claybrook? She continues to dominate at all times! She's a double-double, shot blocking machine! She finished the championship game with one of her signature double-doubles, and she added 3 blocks! She's a D1 athlete for a reason, and she will continue to climb the ladder. I still can't wait to see who lands this one at the next level. Whether she chooses Marshall, Tennessee Tech, or from the slew of other offers, I'll be a fan! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928326"],"_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-68730e06a2434"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright stated, "Shots weren't falling in one game, but I locked in on the other end." Lily ALWAYS locks in on the defensive end. Whether she scores 25 or 7, you know what she brings to any team! She had SEVEN blocks in the championship game. Lily also stated, "Sometimes it's not about scoring, it's about finding any way to help your team win." This kid gets it! She has one of the highest IQs in the game, and she is willing to always do whatever it takes to help her team win. The effort and willingness to win always shows when Wright is on the court! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["619788"],"_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-68730e06a247a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I LOVE Rollins on this team!!! She continues to show what she can do without the ball in her hands! She finished with 6 points and 3 rebounds in the championship game. Payton is one of the athletes that does not have to score 20 to impact the game. If you have followed this kid for years, you know she can score. It's the little things that separate Payton. She is playing defense with a purpose! Rollins is communicating effectively on both ends of the court. She continues to create consistent offensive opportunities for her teammates. I love the way that she is pressuring the ball, denying passing lanes, and boxing out on both sides! She's definitely a gritty athlete that will make a team better at the next level! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817921"],"_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-68730e06a24be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If the college coaches are out extending offers, Beard has to be one of them. She continues to show why she is one of the best stretch 4's in the state! I love her ability to shoot the long ball. However, I love how she sees the floor even more. Mattie's passing and playmaking ability should definitely be recognized! Whether she's shooting 5-7 from long range, or making the correct pass, she continues to show why she is a next level athlete! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821877"],"_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-68730e06a2503"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I read this statement, "Underrated Gem" and that describes Ansley perfectly! She continues to play the game the right way. She never tries to do too much, and she makes the correct reads on both ends of the floor. You will never see Moore take a play off. She is the kid that will dive on the floor for any loose ball. She does a great job on any of the assignments given to her. This kid is the underrated gem that needs to be on college coaches radars!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
