Freshmen Fuel The Fire at Sandra Meadows Classic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I saw quite a few talented freshmen on opening day who are showing signs of creating some issues but I also missed a few like <strong>Amarillos's [player_tooltip player_id='1308532' first='Addilyn' last='Johnson']</strong> and <strong>Tayler Meander </strong>as well as a young lady who I have on my "<strong>sky is the limit</strong>" shortlist <strong>McKinley Peterson (Dickinson) </strong>yet six left me somewhat speechless for a variety of reasons and here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1234787"],"_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-6953cfc6c8275"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Square grabbed the attention of my <strong>PGH colleague @playerrimidies </strong>on the <strong>Prep Girls Hoops </strong>circuit and was beaming about her <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/06/dynasty-finals-16u-next-wave-of-talent/">see evaluation here </a></em></strong>so when I heard her name over the loudspeaker a light bulb went off.

She came from out of nowhere to block shots, as well as rebound. She defended both inside and outside the paint but after all, she is <strong>"long and athletic" </strong>and that will always be the base</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882829"],"_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-6953d9fa612a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson's middle name starts with a<strong> G </strong>so watching her explosiveness off the dribble had me smiling and thinking <strong>GEE WHIZ</strong> , she did it again but she also has the HEZ down so this will keep the defender off balance because if you play her too tight, she's gone, you give her too much room, her jumper looks good but she also has solid court vision, as well as body control on her finishes.
