Returning Stars Ready To Perform This Upcoming Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five returning players from last season that are ready to preform this Winter at the Varsity level for their squads once again. These prospects have been making a name for themselves every time they compete and that isn't going to change over the next few months. </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":["901710"],"_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-6901ab2e008e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='901710' first='Avah' last='Underwood'] is looking to make one last big run this upcoming Winter with St. Albert High School after coming off of a record setting performance last Winter in the 1A State Title game. Underwood finished the game off as the MVP, securing over 20 Points and 20 Rebounds in her efforts underneath. This Winter St. Albert will bring in some help to pair with her under the hoop in a transfer so as long as they can play off of each other, they should be a tough group to stop in general while Underwood continues to put up impressive numbers as the season moves forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1044997"],"_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-6901ab2e00946"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">College coaches should not be sleeping on [player_tooltip player_id='1044997' first='Abby' last='Crabtree'] of Milford High School. Crabtree is skilled in every definition of the phrase, she can lead her team's by example as a heck of a teammate, and she is someone that all coaches love to work with overall. These are three things that are hard to come by all under one player but Crabtree really embodies it all. She demonstrated that last year first hand with her Varsity crew as a Freshman and she is looking to follow that up once again as a Sophomore this Winter as well. She has been working this off-season and she is ready to show the State what she can really do. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557354"],"_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-6901ab2e00991"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We are going to find out what [player_tooltip player_id='557354' first='Jenica' last='Lewis'] is really all about this Winter. Lewis has been a winner for year's now at the 5A level but now it's time to see her lead the Dragons with only a little help compared to year's past. It shouldn't be a problem has this is one of the Nation's best guards from the 2026 Class but it will be interesting how opposing team's matchup vs her squad. I'd imagine that there will be a lot of double and triple teaming to get the rock out of her hands early on in possessions. If that is the case, I can't wait to see how the Dragons return the favor strategically. If it's anything like year's past, they should be just fine as Lewis does her thing but we will wait and see.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["884234"],"_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-6901ab2e009d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm expecting a lot out of [player_tooltip player_id='884234' first='Da'Nyla' last='Tatum'] this Winter at Bellevue West High School. Tatum is the #1 rated 2028 out of Nebraska. She is a high level PG, that moves differently than everyone else out of her Class. She has a nasty handle with a killer cross, she has great body control while attacking her defender in any situation, she is a crafty passer off of the bounce or catch, and she is calculated on defense which leads to a lot of steals and plays going the other way for her team's. Tatum made her mark last Winter as being a killer in every definition of the phrase. If she plays to her full capabilities, I'm sure it will be much of the same as she returns this Winter for her Sophomore campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["757558"],"_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-6901ab2e00a20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I can't wait to see [player_tooltip player_id='757558' first='Halle' last='Dolliver'] back in top form this Winter at Malcolm High School. Dolliver didn't play last Winter due to a leg injury but now she is coming off of a successful high school Volleyball season and she is looking back in top shop. If Dolliver returns to normal form, she will be a walking double-double for her group as she puts up some noteworthy stat lines, and if her and her sister can play off of each other, this is a group that should make a State run during the Playoff's come 2026. Dolliver is a freak athletically with a high motor and that is going to take her places as her Senior year dwindles down. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
