As the 26s and 27s class get ready for the high school season, it's the 28s and 29s who are salivating at the mouth on trying to make a name for themselves. The young crop of talent in Tennessee will definitely be pushing the issue this upcoming year, and it was evident at the Expo this past Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we inch closer to the start of practice, here are some names that you will need to keep tabs on from both 2028s and 2029s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1317834"],"_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-68dd537cbd505"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big wing who can put the ball in the hole. She has a sweet lefty stroke that enables her to exploit the mid-range or dial it up from deep. She has become more aggressive as she attacks the rim. Her length poses a threat, and she receives numerous deflections and steals. South Gibson has a beast on their hands, and she will continue to help lead them deep into state contention.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039154"],"_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-68dd537cbd560"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> A tough kid whose game has grown tremendously. Talk about someone who has transformed her game; she has become a threat both inside and out. She can use her body and work down low, but also attack from the arc and utilize her quick first step and handles to challenge opponents near the basketball. She's fearless and is willing to go through contact on her way to the basket. Solid defender, bucket-getting, a kid who is going to help the McKenzie program for years to come.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248825"],"_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-68dd537cbd5a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aggressive ballplayer who can create a lot of chaos. Her defense is her calling card as she poses as a threat to opponents. Has excellent size, tremendous length, it's hard for teams to operate against her, and it was definitely on display at the Expo. Has a sweet stroke she will unleash from multiple spots on the floor; however, her defense is what stands out and how she creates turnovers into transitional point opportunities. Look for her to have a strong sophomore season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1172241"],"_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-68dd537cbd5ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big body kid who can work inside and out. She can step out and knock down the three-ball consistently, or work inside from both the high post and blocks, and put the ball in the hoop. Her game has grown, and it was on display in how she was attacking opponents. She played fearlessly and got to spots where she had the advantage. Anyone who knows her game knows that she can be impactful on both ends of the floor. Look for her to have a strong freshman season and make a difference every time she steps on the floor.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252944"],"_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-68dd537cbd635"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aggressive downhill threat who plays with poise with the ball in her hands. She can reach multiple levels to take her shot, distribute, and contribute on the defensive end. A heady floor general who sees the floor well and brings athleticism to the table. Look for her to come in and carve out a solid role for the SCHS ball club. Someone you need to keep your eyes on as she continues to grow into a solid prospect who will play at the next level.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
