Yeah, it's old compared to what's out there today, but when I think about that particular song, it really does get me in the zone. I am talking about laser-focused. If you truly see yourself as a hooper, you are always out to prove yourself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This upcoming season, there will be tons of girls trying to prove themselves for various reasons. Maybe it's trying to get that big-time scholarship. Maybe it's more playing time. Maybe it's about finding that value on the team. Doesn't matter what it is; we are always out to try to prove something, especially if this game matters to you.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few young ladies who may have a chip on their shoulder and are looking to prove something.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["818131"],"_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-68c1924c5cbbb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young lady should be in conversation with some of Tennessee's best. A threat from multiple spots on the floor, when the ball is in her hands, anything can happen. She has amazing court vision, plays solid on the defensive end, and, of course, she can score the basketball. Recently picked up an offer from Belmont, but will be looking for more to roll in. This kid can play, and as the year gets rolling, look for her to come out to prove that she belongs in the upper echelon of Tennessee's best.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["792318"],"_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-68c1924c5cc53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solid hooper who has been putting in that offseason work. A Metro Nashville kid who is striving to put her squad back on the map. This kid is a heckuva two-way player who can defend like crazy and go get buckets. She can knock it down from 3, but also get to the rim and finish against contact. She contributes to other facets of the game as well. An all-around talent who is taking her game to the next level.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["620459"],"_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-68c1924c5ccc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tough kid who is about to have a breakout year. This kid has the willingness to do whatever it takes to win. Effort and energy, and of course talent, this kid strives to excel every time she steps onto the floor. A determined individual who can score but also contribute in multiple phases of the game. She is an all-around player, and she is going to be front and center as her team gets going this upcoming season. Look for her to reel in some offers and help her ballclub reach new heights.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513229"],"_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-68c1924c5cd34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last year was a comeback season; this year will be about silencing all those doubters. This young lady is going to pick back up where she left off. A motor up kid who can do a multitude of things. Rebound, block shots, defend, and put the ball in the net. From posting up to unleashing a solid face-up game from anywhere on the floor, this kid is going to give you fits and then create chaos on the defensive end. Her goal is to win the state, but in the process, you better believe her play is going to elevate the deeper her squad goes. Talented kid who has something to prove this upcoming ball season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["894697"],"_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-68c1924c5cda2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> A quiet-natured kid whose game speaks volumes. Speed kills, and that's something special this young lady has. A 3-level scoring threat that can handle the rock, knock down shots from various spots, but is a menace on the defensive end. She brings a lot to the table, and her game spearheads those around her as she brings the energy and effort. A talented kid who is looking to prove not that she is one of the best in the district, but also that her squad is on the upswing and will be in the top heap of the division for years to come.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
