<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In another installment of 2027 players to watch around the state, we highlight more young athletes who are transitioning from underclassmen to upperclassmen. Their roles are set to expand, providing them with greater opportunities to showcase their skills and make an even bigger impact. These are the girls that coaches and scouts should be keeping a close eye on as they continue to develop and rise through the ranks. Stay tuned, these prospects are poised to make a significant splash!!!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parents/Players/Coaches feel free to tag/share highlights/ accolades/ invitations/acknowledgements below at my socials:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Instagram: @donald.tatum73 X:@cpt_tatum</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236796"],"_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-68e6c2f9398d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mary Grace is a a known player in scouting and coaching circles due to her never quit playing mentality and aggressive offensive style of play. She was a big part of the Cedar Creek state championship run, and this season she will see increased responsibility. She can shoot the three ball, get to the rim and this year she is even more skilled, more athletic and more determined than last season. The LGR Queen of the Court is ready to compete. Keep an eye out for "MG" this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["588901"],"_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-68e6c2f939942"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is one of the smartest point guards in the state and her IQ coupled with her ball handling ability will be the brains of the Arcadia machine. Arcadia is favored to win the next two state championships with their talent, skill and legendary new coach. Williams has the skill and poise as the PG and her intangibles are what make her special. She can run the offensive, get to the rim and she is an under rated three point shooter. Her game is polished and she has the Championship pedigree required to lead this team back to Championship glory. </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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1227518' first='Bailee' last='Harrison']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_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":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ruston High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"WBBP","_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-68e6c2f9399ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harrison is a player that has taken the consistent route to development and every year adds another aspect to her game preparing her for competition at the next level. She is a high energy player that uses her athleticism to effect the game. She is a strong rebounder and defender, but she has added an increased ability to knock down shots by hitting the three ball consistently this summer. There is a buzz around Ruston and Harrison is going to be a difference maker on this squad. Coaches looking for a long and athletic wing need to check out Harrison at Ruston. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225938"],"_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-68e6c2f939a38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is set to be a big part of Wossman on their quest to add another Championship to their resume, and on a team known for their dominance she is ready to step into the spotlight. She is a rim running wing that runs the floor and finishes well around the rim. Her increased ball handling ability and shooting make her a dangerous weapon for the Lady Wildcats. She has the size and skill that coaches covet at the next level, but she also brings a tough mentality and increased athleticism which ensures that her stock is on the rise. Every year she checks another box, and this year is no different. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943337"],"_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-68e6c2f939a7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Douglas is a hidden gem in the state due to her size, athleticism and obvious upside. I have watched her score 30 points and add 15+ rebounds in a single game and she is just scratching the surface on her potential. She is a must watch prospect as her intangibles and production are undeniable. She is one of only a few players that stretch past the 6'2 height mark and just has the look of the ball player. Plain Dealing has a lot of talent and their new young Coach shows up with pedigree and vigor which could make them a tough school and a contender moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Names to know around the state for the Class of 2027 is not done and there will be more player evaluations, assessments, and predictions coming in the next few days. Stay locked in to see if you are one of our 2027 players to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Their roles are set to expand, providing them with greater opportunities to showcase their skills and make an even bigger impact.
