According to Google, it means to lift up or make higher. Throughout our state, we have some young ladies who have elevated their game. From their style of play to lifting up (or inspiring) their teammates, girls have elevated their game, increasing their stock along the way. Though the season is still young, you are starting to see the cream rise to the top as players have raised the bar in who they are and what their program is all about. Kids are showcasing their skills, capturing wins along the way, turning collegiate coaches heads, and setting their clubs up for district matchups that will position themselves for postseason play down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elevation. When someone is locked in, the game flows a certain way. They are laser-focused. They are sharp in their movements. They execute, putting on a miraculous show for all to see. It takes hardwork and dedication, but once want reaches a certain peak, it could spark a run that could start a fun journey for all those who are ready. I know it sounds cliche, but personally, I am seeing a lot of good basketball being played around the state. Teams are better. Players' games are more polished. There is parity across many districts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elevate- to lift or make higher. Check out some young ladies around the Mid-State who are elevating their game to enhance their ballclubs chances of winning this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822483"],"_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-6936ef0c9583b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talk about a kid who has been on a burner. Dropped 39 points against Columbia Academy. Eclipsing the 1000 point mark, this kid was laser focused and couldn't be stopped. From attacking downhill to the rim to beating her girl off the dribble into a mid-range jumper, it was bucket after bucket as FRA sealed the victory. Her game has kicked into another gear and she is solidifying herself as one of the top PGs in the state. A kid who is definitely going to jump on more collegiate coaches' radars.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["816630"],"_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-6936ef0c958a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Missouri commit is showing everyone around Middle Tennessee that the Lady Tigers got a steal in this kid. Averaging a double-double, this kid is putting the basketball in the hoop as well as cleaning up on the glass. However, it is her ability to block shots, neutralizing the opposition along the way. The Lady Admirals are rolling and CB is leading the charge as she anchors the middle for a talented Franklin squad.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["636541"],"_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-6936ef0c958e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This heady floor general has been scoring double figures in multiple games lately. From knocking down shots from the arc to exploiting different spots from the field, she has been turning it up and leading the charge. The confidence is growing, and her play is on an upswing. Look for her to continue on this trajectory as the Lady Bulldogs get after it and compete.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039546"],"_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-6936ef0c9592c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A kid who has turned it up across the board. From putting the ball in the hole to check marking other statical categories such as rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, this kid has elevated her club's play as she has led the charge. Her impact has been felt throughout, and there are no plans of slowing down. Ryann has created a spark for this club, and the squad has followed her lead. When she is on, she's hard to contain. Look for her to continue on this trajectory and be a solid piece that will lead this LC squad deep into the tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Sa'miya Brown","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cane Ridge","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6936ef0c959c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is quietly making a name for herself around the Metro Nashville area. A tough kid who is a gamer, a hunter that is going to strike downhill and put the ball into the hole. This kid is tough and her ability to score the basketball from multiple spots on the floor is crazy good. She is playing with a lot of confidence. She sees the floor well, exploits a weakness, and attacks. A solid two-way player who utilizes her speed as an asset. Keep an eye on this young lady as she raises the bar for a talented Cane Ridge club.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
