She showcased a refined scoring package, attacking defenses from all areas of the floor with creativity and confidence. Opponents threw length and quickness at her in an effort to slow her down, but she consistently created separation using sharp step-backs, crafty crossovers, and well-timed spin moves. She knocked down tough, contested shots from every level to keep her team competitive. Her shifty handle and offensive toughness stood out and should serve her well as she draws increased defensive attention throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1254790"],"_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-692e93cb61b80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Regan plays with a motor that allows her to impact the game in a variety of ways. Coming off a strong sophomore season, she's elevated her overall game, especially since stepping into the point guard role for Rolling Hills Prep. Her poise under pressure stands out—she navigates traps and heavy defense with patience while still initiating effective offensive sets. The position change hasn't dulled her scoring edge, as she continues to attack downhill to the rim and create space with an effective step-back jumper. She rebounds exceptionally well for her size and holds her own defensively against some of the top guards around. As Regan continues to grow as a floor general, her team is poised to benefit as it looks to build on last year's championship run.</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":"Alexa Panaligan","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_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":"Village Christian","_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-692e93cb61c7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexa is a dynamic combo guard already making an impact as a freshman for Village Christian. Her shooting stood out this week, as she confidently knocked down shots from all areas of the floor with impressive mechanics for her age. No matter where she's positioned, she does an excellent job getting her feet set and getting into her shot. She also brings confidence as a ballhandler, especially in the open court, where she keeps her head up to attack the rim and find teammates filling the lanes. Defensively, she's a gifted on-ball stopper, using quick feet and length to turn ballhandlers and disrupt offensive rhythm. Alexa's stock should continue to rise as the season unfolds.</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":"Andrea Antonio","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hamilton","_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-692e93cb61d27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Andrea shows a maturity well beyond her years as the lead guard for Hamilton. This 2029 prospect immediately catches the eye with her confident shooting, knocking down shots both off the dribble and as a catch-and-shoot threat. What truly sets her apart, however, is her pace and decision-making. She navigates traps and heavy ball pressure with poise, keeping her head up and using her body effectively to create space. Given even a small opening, Andrea attacks the rim with either hand and can finish through contact, often drawing fouls with crafty moves that catch defenders off guard. She's an underrated guard whose combination of skill, poise, and scoring ability should make her a standout all season.</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":"Ellee Statler","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_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":"Liberty","_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-692e93cb61dc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As one of the top players in Central California, Ellee brings an impressive all-around game. She's a capable ballhandler who uses her body effectively to shield defenders while keeping her head up and eyes down the floor. Offensively, she excels coming off screens, rising over contesting hands to knock down long-range shots. She makes very few mistakes, never rushing or forcing her offense, and consistently puts her teammates in the best position to score. A fierce competitor, Ellee plays with intensity on every possession, wearing her heart on her sleeve. Expect another standout season as she leads her Liberty team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773687"],"_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-692e93cb61e2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='773687' first='Nakia' last='Perkins'] is a long, athletic forward for Rancho Cucamonga with a drive-first mentality that allows her to attack the rim aggressively and draw contact with a quick first step.

Defensively, her speed and length let her cover ground both horizontally and vertically, disrupting opponents and protecting the rim. Nakia plays with fiery intensity that energizes her teammates and sets the tone on both ends.
