She's a high level player, a Division 1 level caliber athlete. She breaks down defenders with her dribble smoothly, keeping the ball close to her and rarely turning it over. She knocks down shots from all over the court, contested or not. She brings energy to the court and elevates all of her teammates games too. Cordis is going to continue to dominate this season and should excel at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["584112"],"_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-693cba06d37f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Semaj is a player who is extremely under-recruited in the state of Washington. She is a perfect glue player, doing whatever it takes to get wins and does a great job at stuffing the stat sheet every game. She rebounds well for a guard, staying relentless on loose balls and on the defensive side of the ball. Williams has a great offensive game too, being able to smoothly get herself or her teammates open. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["587392"],"_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-693cba06d3870"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Samiah has been a consistent player on the court for her team for a few seasons now. She does a great job at staying patient with the ball in her hands, knows her next move before doing it. She always keeps her eyes up when attacking down-hill and sees her teammates to set them up for buckets. She has an excellent shot too, knocking down shots from deep with no problem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1350385"],"_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-693cba06d38fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyanna's a pure point guard who facilitates the offense at a high level and always keeps her eyes up, having excellent court vision. Her change of pace stands out too, attacking down-hill with hesitation and being able to explode by opponents using her speed. She finishes through contact with both hands too, being a dynamic offensive player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
