<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday's games for the younger girls showcased some serious talent. Here's a look at who stood out on the floor and what made them shine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306793"],"_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-68eadf6d41c2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bekah's court vision is beyond her years. On Saturday, she stood out as one of the best passers on the floor, effortlessly threading baseball-style passes to cutters in the lane. She combines length and strength with a smooth shooting touch, making her a versatile threat. Now at American Fork, she has the tools to earn varsity minutes—and possibly a starting spot—in her very first season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1247148"],"_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-68eadf6d41c83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We first noticed Brinley in Monday night league, and she made a strong impression—but Saturday proved it wasn't a one-off performance. She was knocking down 3s all game, showing a dribble with enough wiggle to slip past defenders. On top of that, she reads the defense well and finds the open pass, making her a dual threat on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1325129"],"_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":1325153,"_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-68eadf6d41ce3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the key traits you look for in a post player is the ability to stay strong with the ball under pressure — and Mariah showed exactly that. Even when the defense collapsed on her, she consistently secured possession and fought through contact. She establishes a solid seal on the block, keeping her defender pinned behind her, and isn't afraid to initiate physical play to get to the rim. If she can boost her shooting percentage, she has the tools to become a well-rounded and reliable force in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1247150"],"_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":1325233,"_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-68eadf6d41d2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leah might be one of the smallest guards on the roster, but you'd never know it by the way she plays. Her hustle is relentless — she's often the first to pressure the ball and make life miserable for opposing guards. Defensively, she's a constant disruption, forcing turnovers through sheer effort and anticipation. On offense, her quick first step and fearless drives allow her to get past defenders and finish at the rim, proving that size doesn't limit impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1240183"],"_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-68eadf6d41d75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Addison is shaping up to be a game-changer for the next few seasons. Her defensive instincts and court vision are already at a varsity level, and once her confidence and turnaround shooting catch up, she could easily land in the top 20 for the 2029 class—or higher. She consistently disrupts offenses from any spot on the floor, creating turnovers and transition opportunities for her team, all while maintaining discipline and staying out of foul trouble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
