Her explosiveness off the bounce and smooth handle make her a constant threat to get downhill, where she finishes with poise and creativity. She sees the floor exceptionally well, threading sharp passes to teammates and keeping the offense flowing. Defensively, her intensity and quick hands generate steals and set the tone for her team. A complete floor general with next-level potential, she's primed for another standout season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1092467"],"_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-6922437a235e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grace brings nonstop activity to the defensive end, where she frequently breaks up plays and forces turnovers with her anticipation. On offense, she attacks with purpose, using a quick first step to get downhill and put pressure on defenders. Her length allows her to contest shots, disrupt passing lanes, and impact possessions all over the floor, making her a valuable two-way presence for Allendale.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Coach's Quote:</strong><!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>In our second season in the RCA after finishing tied for 3rd last year, one of our biggest goals is to make a statement in our league this year.
