<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>High school football was the major talk around the mountain state, but girl's basketball started this past week and it was exciting for some athletes. Below are a few notable performances: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385110"],"_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-693711a787b8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite the loss to Morgantown, Kenna led Grafton in every statistical category. The double-double machine poured in 20 points and added 10 rebounds! She also added four steals, three blocks, and three assists. These stat lines show elite versatility. Keener plays with a great motor and her effort is undeniable. She has a great understanding of the game and she knows exactly how to disrupt an opponent. Senior season is in full effect! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["656290"],"_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-693711a787c0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Workman continues to prove that she is one of the best athletes across the state! She's a raw talent! Ava poured in 29 points to defeat John Marshall on opening night for the Spartans. She was a problem anywhere on the floor. Workman is the sponge that is every coach's dream. "Hard work takes raw ability and polishes it, making it effective and reliable." This athlete is consistent, reliable, and more than effective!

The Washington &amp; Jefferson college commit poured in 23 points on opening night in a win over Fairmont Senior. She also scored 15 points in a win over Bridgeport. Outside of scoring, Fox stands out defensively! The effort and relentless on ball pressure by Brianna is contagious. Keep your eyes on University and Fox throughout her senior season! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261631"],"_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-693711a787c9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the first two games to start this season, Ward is making sure opponents feel her presence. The previous high jump state champion knows exactly how to use that advantage on the basketball court too. The sophomore scored 22 points, added 11 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in a win over Winfield. Ward followed that performance up with another double-double to help lead Riverside to a 2-0 start. Jada is a solid two-way athlete that will be on radars to play at the next level! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["496344"],"_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-693711a787cde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We have stated it before and we will state it again, "Jones is dominant in the paint area." Jones started the season off with a powerful performance. She scored 15 points and added 13 rebounds in a win over Hurricane. She is the powerhouse double-double machine that knows exactly how to use her strength. Karson has numerous offers to play at the next level and I can't wait to see who lands this one! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
