On the Rise: 2027s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Girls Hoops North Carolina has been updating the rankings over the last month with the latest class seeing changes being 2027.  We've already mentioned several new names that were added to the overall list, so it's time to talk about the stock risers who saw a new (and higher) position on the list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

the list as a whole, but she has been moved up into the rankings in this last update.  Her ability to compete against some of the toughest in the state is certainly reason to move her up as she handles full court presses and even half court traps with great composure maintaining possession of the ball.  She's a big reason her team made it to the state championship last season being able to facilitate offensive sets and get plays going whether she was making a dish to her teammates or scoring from deep on her own.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

special guard with her ball handling and play making ability.  She has a finesse getting to the open space, and plays at next level speed making the right adjustments to get her passes to their intended targets.  The way she creates space from her defenders for her own jumpers is difficult to defend, and she is sure to knock down shots all around the perimeter.  She's tough on defense, too, being aggressive making her moves to pick the pocket of her opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

feet to lose her defender showing off some great post moves to create her space.  She can elevate up and over her defenders to score her points.  She is tough on the boards grabbing rebounds on both ends of the court scoring off of offensive rebounds.  She has a nice jumper that she can score from any level, too, showing her versatility on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

force in the paint.  She uses her wide stance to seal off her opponents catching the entry pass and going to work.  Her strength is sure to reposition her defenders to score some points off the glass.  She's quick to shoot off the pass from midrange, too.  On defense, she is sure to block some shots as her opponents try to get to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
