<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Growing up, adults often say that kids do the darnedest things. It's funny when kids are little, and when they first start talking, you never know what is going to come out of their mouths. I'll never forget when my little nephew would be behind somewhere (he was a slow walker), and all you hear him say is “ I'm chumming. Here I come.” Great memories of course, but it led me to my next topic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This season will be a year where new young ladies on the horizon will be coming. Not only will they be taking a stand, but also be the ones who help their club punch their ticket towards postseason play. They could have been at the school and it's their time now, or have newly arrived, giving their new team an extra jolt. Either way, new names are coming and are going to be locked and loaded to help propel their ball club forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few names of kids who are&nbsp; “chumming” on the scene this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252886"],"_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-68b65cf07113c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A star in the making, this young lady is about to take it up a notch on the plateau. A 3-level scoring threat who is always in attack mode, she is always looking to get a bucket no matter what. A fearless competitor who causes fits, she's tough on both ends of the floor and is willing to do whatever it takes to help her club win. Had a great summer ball season, grew even more. This kid is going to have a big-time year and uplift her ball club. Solid two-way player who is about to explode!<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821870"],"_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-68b65cf0711d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is quietly becoming an unforeseen threat in the district. A 3-level scoring threat who can put the ball in the hole in multiple ways. She can dial it from deep, knock down the mid-range, and finish at the rim against contact. She's a solid defender as well, drawing tough assignments and neutralizing them. She gets steals, contributes on the boards, and just really possesses all around game. Look for her to contribute nightly and help Lipscomb reach state contention once again.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["907566"],"_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-68b65cf071250"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She jumped on the scene last year; this year, she is coming back for more. A motor up get who is always in “go mode.” She is a selfless ballplayer who is willing to do all things. What I love about her, she is not just about scoring, but also makes the extra effort plays, such as taking charges, diving for loose balls, and really selling herself out for her team. She can knock it down from 3, but getting to the rim and hitting her opponent with a counter move looks so nice. Look for her to have a great year and continue on the upward trajectory.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821748"],"_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-68b65cf0712ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A heady ballplayer who is athletic as all get out. A multi-sport player who makes a world of difference. When it comes to this game, she's solid, giving you tough outings every time she steps onto the floor. A floor general who controls pace and space, makes the right reads, gets bucks, and contributes on the defensive end. She shows up, shows out, and competes. Talk about someone you want in your foxhole with you; she's the girl. It's not about the accolades or name in the box score; this girl wants to win and is willing to do whatever it takes to help her team achieve that.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822224"],"_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-68b65cf07134a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the hottest names in the state right now. She's about to make some thundering noise this upcoming season. A solid kid who commands the painted area, but has added to her game so that she can stretch the floor. Great in the screen game, she can finish around the rim not only with her back to the basket but facing up as well. She controls the boards on the defensive end, blocks shots, and really is a physical presence down low. Playing with great confidence, this kid is a leader who is about to take off. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
