Silvera brings a rare combination of energy, leadership, and experience that should immediately elevate the team's competitiveness. Expect her to be a glue player and tone-setter for Gilbert this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255772"],"_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-690311ad5f204"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Winslow has been steadily improving since last season and continues to trend upward as one of the more promising post players in her class. She's added strength and polish around the rim, showing comfort finishing through contact and rebounding with more assertiveness. The Chandler Wolves will look to Winslow to increase her production and presence inside, especially against some of the tougher frontcourts in the state. Her growth trajectory is definitely one to monitor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257089"],"_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-690311ad5f24e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the fastest risers in the 2027 class, Ahlstrom has impressed with her energy and confidence at the point guard position. She pushes the pace well, has solid vision in transition, and is fearless when attacking the lane. Her leadership qualities have also started to emerge, making her a reliable floor general for Mountain View. With continued development, she could be one of the more dynamic guards in the East Valley before season's end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1259051"],"_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-690311ad5f295"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Willow Canyon transfer brings immediate toughness and a competitive edge to Paradise Honors' backcourt. Pope's game is defined by effort and intensity — she defends well, rebounds from the guard spot, and doesn't shy away from physical play. Offensively, she's improving as a decision-maker and shot creator, which should complement Paradise Honors' guard-heavy system nicely. Expect her to bring a veteran presence despite still being an underclassman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1259054"],"_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-690311ad5f2dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rankin continues to stand out as one of the better pure shooters in the 2027 class. The Dobson guard has deep range and a quick release that makes her a constant threat beyond the arc. She's also expanding her game, showing more confidence putting the ball on the floor and creating for teammates. Her ability to stretch defenses will be key for Dobson this season, especially as the Mustangs look to stay competitive in a tough region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1325390"],"_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-690311ad5f333"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Representing Tucson, Nunez enters her junior campaign with momentum and leadership responsibilities. A strong wing with solid fundamentals, she excels at reading the floor and getting teammates involved. Her maturity and steady demeanor make her the type of player coaches love to have running the show. If Desert View makes a push in the southern region this year, expect Nunez to be a significant reason why.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
