PGH Expo NE: Guard Prospects To Write Down Prior To Action

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are give guard prospects to write down prior to action this weekend in Des Moines at our PGH Iowa Expo! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["888299"],"_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-68def08c67030"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When Bondurant-Farrar had success last Winter, [player_tooltip player_id='888299' first='Tiara' last='Berggren'] stood out as their top producer in those contests. This season, Berggren will have the chance to take on even more of the workload that the Bluejay's might have. As a hooper, this is a player with a smart head on her shoulders when it comes to situational awareness. She is fairly skilled as an overall prospect, always making her money as a handler, creator, and distributor. I'm hoping that TB can come into this event and pick up where she left off last year. She did really well as a play-maker during out 2024 PGH Expo and she should be able to do the same this time around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["909494"],"_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-68def08c6708c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='909494' first='Emma' last='Walkup'] of Pella is as smooth as they come as it pertains to the skill side of the game. Walkup is a 5'7 PG with a lot of swag. She is a pass-first PG by choice but she can also light up the nets with her shooting ability if she see's a shot go in early during a contest. Walkup has stood out whenever we have been around to watch her compete and I'm sure she will have her moments this weekend at this event in Des Moines. If she competes to her full capabilities, she is going to kill it and she is going to standout as one of the best in the building. Now it's just about going out to make it happen now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1098694"],"_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-68def08c670d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">By the looks of it, I would expect [player_tooltip player_id='1098694' first='Kendyl' last='Aarhus'] to take over the Marion program this Winter at the guard position. Aarhus stepped on the scene last Winter as a Freshman for the Wolves and she held her own. She demonstrated that she is a well-rounded guard, that can produce from all three levels whenever asked pretty much. She might only come in around 5'5 but she knows that when she plays her game, she can stick with the best of them, making everyone else around her better on both offense and defense. I'm hoping we see some fireworks from KA on Sunday. She is always good for an electric plays or two and so I'm sure we will see that first hand. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1223807"],"_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-68def08c6711c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1223807' first='Audrey' last='Danler'] is going to be someone that many throughout the state of Iowa learn about later on but that won't stop her from standing out over the next few days. If I didn't tell you that Danler was a younger prospect, you'd never be able to tell solely based on her play-style and production. This is a player with great size for her age, a consistent scoring ability offensively, while being a smart defender in every definition of the phrase. Assumption High School is going to make some waves over the next few years and when they do, I'm sure that Danler will have a part in it and that all starts this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314846"],"_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-68def08c67160"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are some top-notch prospects out of the 2031 Class but KMH might be the best by the time that she gets to the high school ranks. [player_tooltip player_id='1314846' first='Kelbi' last='Maher-Hodges'] is going to have a chance to be special as a future D1 prospect. She is the definition of a dawg right now, she has the mixture of size and athletic ability that all coaches love, and she is EXTREMELY dedicated to the game. I'm expecting KMH to be one of the best players in the gym come this weekend. Whenever she competes, she is a standout and more-so a walking highlight reel so the expectations are high but that's a good thing. Pressure changes everything and KMH is ready to show everyone watching that pressure will not impact her in the slightest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
