<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the dust starts to settle from the jampacked summer, now would be an ideal time to look at the young talent around the region. Today the discussion is revolved around some bigs. These young prospects deserve some recognition for their possible contributions to their squads this upcoming season. Talkin about young players prior to the season beginning usually requires some foresight, but these players have already showed flashes of being potent or successful in their own rights.

There's just so much she brings to the table. She has a modern game that allows her to have a dominate inside-out game. Addison is quite a fluid mover at her size and with the growing confidence there's no telling where she'll project. This is a special talent with immense upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217900"],"_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-689e6dd3b05e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1217900' first='Olivia' last='Breen'] (2029) | 6'2 PF | Oceanside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breen will be coming out ready to prove her status as one of the top players in Maine. Olivia is coming back to her home after attending Monteverde. She's been gearing up to have a major year where she could very well be the headlining talent within the state. These are big expectations, but Olvia is just that talented to take that on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["351274"],"_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-689e6dd3b0631"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='351274' first='Alana' last='McNamara'] (2028) | 5'10 PF | Archbishop Williams </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McNamara has is an extremely positive asset on the floor. She screens well, rolls hard to the basket, has some go-to moves, plays physical on both ends and exerts maximum effort trying to get her team the win. Alana can play with various playstyles plus she provides a sense of 2-way reliability. She's consistent in her play, never veering away from what works. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903426"],"_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-689e6dd3b0679"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='903426' first='Alexa' last='Scaringello'] *(2028) | 6'1 PF | St. Mark's </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Mark's will have an anchor in and around the paint that has an ascending offensive game, plus some distinctive abilities as a defender. Alexa has a strong build, one that can absorb the physicality presented deep in the paint. Her size alone can be a natural deterrent. She also provides excellent help-side protection without hesitation. Scaringello isn't a player that'll take away from what others do on the floor either. This is a redeeming quality which is extremely valuable to a competitive team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1256009"],"_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-689e6dd3b06be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1256009' first='Harley' last='Fritz'] (2029) | PF | East Bridgewater </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fritz is a superior presence in the paint that's advanced with her back to the basket. She makes herself a major target down low and she also finishes well. Having a soft touch while being so physically imposing isn't so common in young player. Fritz is a player to keep an eye on as the high school season approaches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
