Freshman Showcase: Team 5 Sparks Energy

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The curtains have closed on the Freshman Showcase on September 7th, although the talent from Team 5 has just begun their show. With a fast-paced backcourt and a rebounding frontcourt, Team 5 had all the tools to succeed on Sunday. It's time to present the stars who made the magic happen. Let's talk about it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1265398"],"_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-68c1c8e72a3af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maxine Trujilo is one of the hardest-working players on the hardwood at all times. The 5'1 guard from Legacy crashes, rebounds, and battles for second-chance opportunities in the paint. With a slithery handle and solid court awareness, Trujilo is a threat to any defender assigned to guard her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224161"],"_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-68c1c8e72a40f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1224161' first='Mariah' last='Jourdan'] put on a scoring onslaught at the Freshman Showcase this past weekend. Jourdan has her head on a swivel and dishes out dimes to open teammates looking to score. Featuring a deep bag of scoring moves, Jourdan has fine-tuned her offensive game to beat anyone. Currently on the watch list, expect Jourdan to slide into the rankings in the coming months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224124"],"_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-68c1c8e72a45b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1224124' first='Landree' last='Johnson'] is a 5'7 guard who can stretch the 3 position when needed.

As a lengthy combo guard, Barry stays in between passing lanes and comes away with an array of steals each contest. Where Barry comes up huge is defending the post. Boxing out opponents and fighting for rebounds makes Barry that much more dynamic when she laces up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224160"],"_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-68c1c8e72a4e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1224160' first='Lorena' last='Cover'] makes her presence known down low in the blocks. Calling for the ball in the post, Cover knows how to utilize her pivot foot to trick defenses into falling for pump fakes.

Constantly involved in the pick-and-roll game, Hills brings a smooth flow to any offense lucky enough to have her. When Hills takes the floor, defense better be ready for a handful to guard and keep up with. The 6'0 up-and-coming superstar is set to put up impressive production with Legend in her first year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
