Since stepping into the Westlake lineup, she's wasted no time proving she belongs at the varsity level. She's a true three-level scorer—knocking down threes at a high clip, attacking the rim, and finding ways to score in between. On the defensive end, her quickness and instincts make her a constant disruptor, playing with the poise and confidence of a veteran. Katie is more than just a riser—she's a legit top-50 contender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997503"],"_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-68d0ba924c678"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As one of Farmington's top contributors as a freshman, Olive has already shown she can impact games at a high level, and with so much time left on the varsity floor, her ceiling is only getting higher. She'll lose a few key teammates from last season, but with a young core around her, Olive has the chance to step into a leadership role and be the spark the Phoenix need to elevate beyond last year's performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997501"],"_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-68d0ba924c6d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As a freshman, Halle was consistently putting up double-digit points for Juan Diego's freshman squad. Now, with a good portion of the lineup having graduated, the door is wide open for her to take on a bigger role. If she can translate her scoring touch to the varsity level and expand her game, her ranking has plenty of room to climb.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1240628"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1317919,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68d0ba924c753"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kenaddie is a true workhorse on the floor. She battles on the boards and holds her own in the paint, but she's just as comfortable handling the ball on the perimeter. Defensively, she's aggressive and relentless, making life tough for whoever she's matched up against. Add in her ability to stretch the floor with the three-ball, and she's a matchup disaster for opposing teams. If Millard figures out how to use her this year effectively, she could easily jump the 10 spots needed to break into the top 50.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["875184"],"_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-68d0ba924c7af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leilani has been holding down a varsity spot at Herriman since her freshman year, making her presence felt with both steals and scoring. She's already shown she can impact the game on both ends, and with another full season of varsity experience ahead of her, she has the tools to sharpen her game even further. If she continues to build on her strengths and expand her offensive consistency, don't be surprised to see her climb the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
