<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The High School basketball season has officially begun! The 2025 Tournament of Legends in Kansas City, KS, is a showcase of local talent with proceeds supporting youth programs. The Andover Trojans vs Derby Panthers Varsity Girls game did not disappoint. With the Lady Trojans trailing the majority of the night against the Lady Panthers, Andover speared a major 2nd half comeback to topple the Lady Panthers 53 to 48, led by #2 5'8 Junior and #5 ranked [player_tooltip player_id='791747' first='Bella' last='Bouddhara']. Here are the stars of the night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["791747"],"_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-6934ea03c0b02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bella is a solid shooter, has a high IQ and knows when to take a step in and get closer to the basket when her shot is not falling. She shot around 70% from the FT line this night, but it looked like every shot was going in, and she constantly found her way to the charity strike through pure effort. She is a tough on-ball defender as well, and she is always on the floor for every loose ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/clips/ucl70209fa4071765069139815">NFHS Network</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["936077"],"_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-6934ea03c0b86"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">#3 5'9 Combo guard who is a really good slasher and cutter. She is solid on the boards and always finds her way to the basketball. Aysia understands her angles very well around the glass and prefers to take mostly high-percentage shots. As a result, her Field goal percentage was high, and she didn't take even 1 bad shot the entire game, which is highly impressive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["995680"],"_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-6934ea03c0bd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alex plays with good energy, has solid fundamentals, and her hands are always active on Defence. Her effort was consistently there, and she always made sure to box out around the glass. Her perimeter and interior on-ball Defence stood out. She can also take you off the dribble to the cup for a bucket on offence if your defensive stance is off. Because of this, she fits well in any position for Derby. At times, even playing point and leading the break for them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224673"],"_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-6934ea03c0c1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">5'5 #4 Point Guard who excels on the defensive end for the Andover Lady Trojans. She is vital for them as a help defender in presses, traps, or zones. Asiah's on-ball defence is solid as well, thanks to her foot speed. Her hands stay active; she plays really tough and doesn't mind attacking the boards with the bigs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["894521"],"_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-6934ea03c0c61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">#30 for the Derby Lady Panthers, Sarai excels as a spot-up shooter and scorer who shoots with confidence, even on an off night against Andover. You can clearly see that there's another level to her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["719101"],"_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-6934ea03c0ca6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'2 #33 for the Derby Lady Panthers, Macayla is a solid post presence when she wants to be. She tends to play bigger the closer a game gets. Her activity around the basket seems to double in tight games, even though her style of play is more of a Stretch 5. She can handle the rock and shoot a bit, so there's no telling how far her impact can reach on this team. Her ceiling is not the roof! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://fan.hudl.com/usa/ks/derby/organization/2299/derby-high-school/team/14371/girls-varsity-basketball/watch?hr=SGlnaGxpZ2h0UmVlbFN1bW1hcnk2OTM0MjNhOWJlNzcwNDJkNDE2ZDE4ZTU%3D&amp;ot=TEAM&amp;oi=14371&amp;shared=true">https://fan.hudl.com/usa/ks/derby/organization/2299/derby-high-school/team/14371/girls-varsity-basketball/watch?hr=SGlnaGxpZ2h0UmVlbFN1bW1hcnk2OTM0MjNhOWJlNzcwNDJkNDE2ZDE4ZTU%3D&amp;ot=TEAM&amp;oi=14371&amp;shared=true</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"https://fan.hudl.com/usa/ks/derby/organization/2299/derby-high-school/team/14371/girls-varsity-basketball/watch?hr=SGlnaGxpZ2h0UmVlbFN1bW1hcnk2OTM0MjNhOWJlNzcwNDJkNDE2ZDE4ZTU%3Du0026amp;ot=TEAMu0026amp;oi=14371u0026amp;shared=true","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6934ff4c6077a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
