Team Preseason Coverage- Fairland

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fairland Head Coach Jon Buchanan and his outstanding Assistant Coaches know a thing or two about winning, and how to produce terrific basketball players out of Proctorville! And it doesn't begin in 9th grade- the fundamentals are taught early, which is a key part in why Fairland has been so successful over the years. Players have bought into the system and trust the process! Last season, Fairland graduated guard Kamryn Barnitz, who has taken her talents to West Florida! Fairland is no stranger to finding their way deep in the tournament each year, and this coming season they have several high level veterans along with some diaper dandies that can play ball! Let's take a look at a few! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["481371"],"_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-68fd54ef95d6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bailey is the top scorer from last season, who averaged 16.2ppg.
