Her athleticism and quickness shine both in transition and in the half-court, where she attacks with either hand and finishes well through contact. On defense, Kingston uses her positioning, instincts, and length to block shots and rack up steals. Offensively, she's incredibly versatile—cutting hard, setting strong screens, and stretching defenses by attacking from the perimeter. A strong rebounder with a nose for the ball, Kingston is the complete package.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928021"],"_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-68ee8d8526568"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Phillips' versatility made her one of the league's toughest matchups. A&nbsp;First Team All-League honoree, she can score inside with power or stretch the floor with a jumper that extends beyond the three-point line. Her strength allows her to control the paint on defense, while her offensive rebounding creates second-chance opportunities. Whether playing on the block or stepping out, Phillips anchored Prosser with her toughness and reliable production.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928120"],"_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-68ee8d85265b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standish cemented herself as one of the premier players in the state this season. A&nbsp;First Team All-League guard, she is an&nbsp;elite three-level scorer&nbsp;who demands a gameplan from opposing defenses. She played a central role in leading Ellensburg to the&nbsp;2025 State Title Game, showcasing not just her scoring, but her rebounding and versatility as well. At 5'11” with length, she defends, rebounds, and brings the kind of all-around game that makes her a future star at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928852"],"_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-68ee8d85265f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright emerged as one of the CWAC's most polished scorers. A&nbsp;First Team All-League selection, she is a high-level shooter who keeps defenses off balance with her ability to get downhill, pull up in the midrange, or float shots over bigs. Her offensive awareness is elite—always knowing when to attack the rim versus when to settle for her jumper. Defensively, she uses her length to disrupt passing lanes and contest shots, adding to her all-around impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ellie Markus","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ellensburg","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ee8d852669d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Markus brought toughness and energy that fueled Ellensburg's run to the state championship game. A&nbsp;Second Team All-League forward, she established herself as an&nbsp;elite rebounder, combining length, athleticism, and sheer determination to control the glass. She was also an efficient scorer, highlighted by her&nbsp;15 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the state semifinals. Markus' finishing ability inside, paired with her rebounding dominance, gave Ellensburg the physical edge they needed on the biggest stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
