Gyselle is quite dynamic and can flourish in up-tempo games as well as remaining potent within the halfcourt too. Mairs isn't just a force on offense though, her defensive playmaking must be mentioned too. Her fast feet in combination with quick reactionary skills makes her a high-powered player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1237949"],"_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-68d491646b99e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1237949' first='Elaina' last='Reed'] (2027) | 6'0 Forward | St. Andrew's</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reed will be very useful for a new looking St. Andrew's squad this year. Coaches can count on Elaina to do her job and do it well. She isn't a player that tries to go outside of her abilities to make things happen. Reed understands the game and applies that knowledge well in her minutes. Reed is in for a big season for the Saints. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1132823"],"_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-68d491646b9ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1132823' first='Layla' last='Rivera'] (2027) | 5'6 CG | Brockton </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's clear Layla is a talented basketball player, however it was the mental aspect of the game that got in the way of her true potential. She's a shot-maker that can prove to be electric at times, filling it up in a hurry when she's on. Rivera will be counted on this year for her squad and she'll be in an even better position to showcase her full capacity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1266418"],"_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-68d491646ba36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1266418' first='Lacey' last='Williams'] (2027) | 5'4 PG/SG | Needham </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the more effective defensive perimeter players within the class. She puts her full energy into defending and she can do many things on the floor. Williams can shadow scorers, faceguard, guard full court plus she's active in the passing lanes. Her hustle is unmatched at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1056085"],"_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-68d491646ba7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alana Colon (2027) | CG | Johnston </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colon will make a huge splash within the conference and will be a playmaking name to know within the state this year. Alanna is small, but she packs a big punch. Her relentlessness is a powerful tool that'll help propel her over the tough competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
