Katie is impossible to overlook; she makes her presence felt on every possession. Defensively, she's a disruptor who forces turnovers and breaks up plays, while on offense, she attacks without hesitation and knows how to finish. She's currently sitting outside the top 50, but with her motor, versatility, and two-way effectiveness, that ranking won't stay there for long.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997502"],"_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-6916b3942fa81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Munah is a scoring machine. She demonstrates the ability to operate as both a guard and a wing, which provides her with flexibility on both offense and defense. Munah is more than just a promising high-school player — she's one with the tools, work ethic, and platform to become a standout wing in Utah's 2028 class. With focused development and upward momentum, she could become a name to watch for Division I and high-end Division II programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306793"],"_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-6916b3942fae5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of our favorite discoveries this fall has been Bekah — a strong, skilled player with a rare mix of power and finesse. She may have to sit out a few games due to transfer rules, but once she hits the floor, American Fork will be more than happy to have her in the lineup. Bekah's versatility makes her a true Swiss Army knife — she can handle the ball, attack the rim, and blow by nearly any defender thrown her way. Currently sitting just above the bottom of the top 50, she's trending upward and could make a noticeable climb when the December rankings are released.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974008"],"_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-6916b3942fb2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Desert Hills is in search of a new leader this season, and while that's a tall order for a young player, Emeli has the poise and talent to take it on. She already brings a strong foundation of skill and confidence to the floor, showing flashes of maturity beyond her age. As she continues to build strength and refine her ability to finish through contact, her overall game will take another leap forward. With her natural feel for the game and growing offensive versatility, Emeli has the potential to become a true Division I prospect — and at the very least, she's already positioning herself as a high-impact D1-D2 caliber player in the making.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["952468"],"_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-6916b3942fb6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As the floor leader for Crimson Cliffs, Zanyiah brings poise and control beyond her years. At her height and guard position, she's got the handle and agility to run the offense, break down defenders, and shift direction in a heartbeat. Her role as a combo guard fits perfectly with her versatility — she can facilitate or score when needed. Even as a freshman, she made her presence felt, putting up 117 points, 55 rebounds, 24 assists, and 18 steals. With her growing skill set and confidence, Zanyiah has the potential to become exactly what southern Utah has been looking for — a player who can draw national attention and put her region on the basketball map.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Others To Watch For</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='952616' first='Isabelle' last='Lewis'] || Alta</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='952614' first='Maci' last='Larsen'] || Mountain Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olive Wayland || Farmington</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
