Here are a few players to keep an eye on with the school season closing in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513228"],"_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-68f0584aea300"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Upcoming senior for Bradley Central, [player_tooltip player_id='513228' first='Kimora' last='Fields'], is ranked as the #1 player in her class of 2026 in TN, and for good reason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fields and the rest of the Bradley Central girls' team are coming off another state championship. Her versatile skillset was a huge part of that. At 6'2" field has a mix of moves in the interior to get buckets, but is also highly skillful on the perimeter. She has a good jumper, can playmake on the dribble, and is a good mover off the basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This versatility shows up in her defensive game as well. Fields has the foot speed to stick with wings, but it also a lethal paint defender. On top of that, she is one of the better rebounders every time she steps on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It will be exciting to see what the Clemson commit can do in her final season of prep hoops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514120"],"_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-68f0584aea361"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='514120' first='Natalie' last='Barnes'] from Coffee County is definitely someone to keep an eye on in the class of 4A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barnes and her high school team, Coffee County, made it to the state tournament last season. They finished their run with a record of 30-1, with their only loss coming to the state champs, Bradley Central. Barnes was a critical part of their success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barnes, offensively, was one of the Lady Red Raiders' best weapons. She has a beautiful three-point shot that she makes with good consistency, and she is lethal in transition. She is one of the better players in 4A at playing passing lanes. Because of this, she gets many deflections that lead to a surplus of transition scoring opportunities. This skillset was seen last year against Franklin High School, where Barnes had four fast break layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821770"],"_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-68f0584aea3ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Guard from Bearden High School, [player_tooltip player_id='821770' first='Riley' last='Hunt'], is one scrappy player on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hunt showed last year for Bearden High School that she is a high-level guard defender. She is great at reading passing lanes to get steals and also getting steals off an opponent's dribble. She showed this in a game against Karns High School, where she had three steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On offense, Hunt is an extremely great passer and conductor at the guard position. She can pass accurately with both hands and is on time with her passes. She hits her teammates as soon as they break open. Hunt also excels at leading her team's offense because of her ability to dribble under pressure. If a defender plays up on her, she is able to play through it with ease. On top of this, Hunt also brings a reliable three-point shot to the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513233"],"_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-68f0584aea3f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='513233' first='Natalya' last='Hodge'] is one of the best players in TN in general.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good players control the tempo of the game, and Hodge does that every time she steps on the floor. Her stop-and-go speed and maneuverability at the guard position are as top-tier as it gets in high school basketball. With these skills, she is a great finisher around the basket and has no issue finishing shots through contact. Also Hodge's dribbling skills that are on a string, allows her to get to the basket often, and to also make space for her above average three point jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On defense, her speed makes her a great guard defender, with her attention to detail also shining on that end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513229"],"_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-68f0584aea435"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='513229' first='Faye' last='Williams'] showed her elite paint play last year, and as a senior this season that skill of Williams should only grow stronger.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is a great rebounder of the basketball, and at 6'3" moves at a speed way above average for her height. She has a plethora of post moves she can go to when she is down low, to help her generate buckets. Her ability to score with both hands also gives her more avenues to score while she is in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On defense, her speed also shines; she has great rotations that allow her guard to pick and rolls at a high level. It also helps her to be in the best positions to get a good contest in general.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
