Elite 8 Seniors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here in North Carolina, there is a lull in basketball competitions.  I find myself getting excited for the upcoming season by reminiscing on last year's playoffs.  These athletes were already leaders in the elite eight last year, so I'm excited to see what they continue to do in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

record setting career in more ways than one as she is a true asset on all levels of the court.  She gets inside for rebounds using her explosiveness to go up high to grab the ball, and she knows exactly how to move to make the next best play whether she's scoring off the offensive rebound or pushing the tempo going the other direction.  She can knock down shots from deep working off the dribble or the pass, and she's aggressive attacking the open lane getting to the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

that at the next level with her commitment to Cornell.  Her confidence in her shot doesn't waver, but she knows she can attack the basket easily rolling the ball off her fingertips to score if a defender happens to get close enough to try to contest her shot.  She's a big contributor on defense knowing how to slide in front of her opponents blocking their path and shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph

the court.  Her height is an asset going after rebounds using offensive boards to score some points.  She's patient knowing when to make her move, and her movements open up the court for her teammates, too, making defenders crash around her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
