<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this piece we have five players out of the state of Nebraska that will have the opportunity to make to their mark on their Varsity program this upcoming season.

Richardson, a 5'7 PG, is shifty with great touch on the ball to create or finish throughout traffic. Once she gets into the teeth of the defense going down-hill, she is incredibly tough to stop from converting in one way or another. Her athletic ability for her size and active hands help her cause chaos defensively, usually leading to other opportunities on the other sides of the floor. J.R. is going to put up some stat-line this Winter. She will have possession most of the time and that is only going to help her produce more and more for her squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897361"],"_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-68a20095cd4c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I could see [player_tooltip player_id='897361' first='Ella' last='Huskey'] stepping into Weeping Water this season and making some noise. Huskey is a SG with good footwork, a quick trigger, and the ability to adapt in multiple situations. She is solid in the aspects of the catch-and-shoot game from deep, being able to be moved all over if need be within her team's system out on the floor. I'm not sure if Huskey will start necessarily right off the bat but I could see her getting quality varsity reps in practice, leading to quality varsity minutes over time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["758274"],"_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-68a20095cd513"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is no doubt in my mind that [player_tooltip player_id='758274' first='Jada' last='James'] is going to lead Duchesne Academy out of Omaha once again this Winter. James has been her team's source of production on both ends of the floor for multiple years now. James, a 5'9 PG, is a ball dominant prospect that can convert several buckets in a short amount of time. When James is on offensively, it's impressive to say the least. It's just more-so about see that consistently for the entire duration of a season. James is going to have some dominating performances over the next two years. If she continues to be even more efficient as she gets older, who knows where that might lead her at the end of the day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["727105"],"_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-68a20095cd557"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='727105' first='Taryn' last='French'] is going to look to mark her mark at UNK when she gets there in a calendar year but prior to that, she is going to look to carry Gretna East to a big Winter ahead. French makes some big plays when it matters. She has shown that ability off the past couple of years on the road with her AAU program. When you pair that, along with size at 5'10, coordination, and a willingness to get better day-in and day-out, you get a competitor and that's what we have here. French leaves it all the floor, she puts up decent numbers, and she shows her worthy every time she takes the varsity floor. That's something she is going to be able to look back and be proud of at the end of the day. No matter what. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881313"],"_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-68a20095cd598"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='964973' first='Ava' last='Reed'] of Scottsbluff High School will be their team's leading force once again this Winter for her senior year but someone else who is going to be looking for opportunity on both ends is [player_tooltip player_id='881313' first='Ayla' last='Pittman'] at their SG/SF spot. Pittman is a player of opportunity. That is the best way to describe her. She either can create her own in a few different ways or she can step into space and make a difference when the defense ends up falling asleep. In general, it's safe to say that this is someone who does everything pretty well right now in general. If she can learn to do some things great, it could carry this team deep into the Post Season sooner rather than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
