<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summer is widely considered over after Labor Day.

Avery is the cream of the crop within the class, checking many boxes off effortlessly. Bollin is a prominent name in the region and for good reason. Be prepared to hear much more from her this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252666"],"_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-68b3ae6b893f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1252666' first='Giuliana' last='Shepard'] (2029) | 5'8 CG | Tilton </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Giuliana is going to bring a ton of value to Tilton's backcourt, especially with them getting such a significant talent like [player_tooltip player_id='393472' first='Bella' last='Owumi'], an ESPN top 30 ranked player. Shepard will be able to come in and provide a spark with her deep offensive bag. She loves to exploit defender's mistakes, a skillset many will be looking forward watching from her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217927"],"_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-68b3ae6b8943d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1217927' first='Amiyah' last='Martin'] (2029) | 5'5 PG/CG | Brooks </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martin packs a big punch and it wouldn't be surprising to see her come into Brooks early on making a real difference for them. She's a stable guard that has a versatile skillset. Amiyah knows her spots and isn't afraid of the big moments. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217907"],"_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-68b3ae6b89486"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1217907' first='Jali' last='Eason'] (2029) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eason can be a prolific scorer getting downhill, one that takes advantage of a lot of the isolation possessions she sees in a game. It'll be interesting to see the adjustments she's able to make in high school this season. In her area she's already considered one of the best young players around. Eason is a name to keep an eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255923"],"_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-68b3ae6b894ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1255923' first='Sammie' last='King'] (2029) | CG | Berkshire </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sammie has been mentioned allot this summer, but for good reason. King will be coming into the year for Berkshire in prime position and even though she's a freshman, she'll have a longer leash than her peers. King has what it takes to lift the team up even though she's quite young. Her upside is immense, but she also produces great results in her role right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Summer is widely considered over after Labor Day. Following the long weekend, school is back in session for everyone, so what better time than now to discuss what's to come in the basketball season?
