Johnson collected 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Her presence inside allows [player_tooltip player_id='785712' first='Michelle' last='Ezumah'] the flexibility to defend away from the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["932138"],"_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-6942e0f752e5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The D-I recruit finished with 6 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in a loss to Tri-Cities. Newman has a strong frame, projectable at the next level. Newman hit a three against the Bulldog zone and was part of an aggressive Spartan rebounding effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899794"],"_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-6942e0f752ec1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The three-point shot was a major weapon for Makenzie as she splashed three long balls in the first half in a 65-59 win over Milton. The tiny guard netted a three from the corner and hit a transition pull-up. Even being the smallest player on the floor, Makenzie still showed bite as she finished with 9 points and 8 rebounds. Weaver will play a huge role moving forward in the Golden Bear backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["925227"],"_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-6942e0f752f23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The defense of Branch helped stifle Milton in the paint. Aaniyah posted 6 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks. One of the biggest players in the state, Branch is a physically dominant presence. She alters countless shots and is a handful to keep off the offensive glass. In the win, Branch scored on a drive and had two hoops in transition by running the floor. Power 5 schools are recruiting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["962927"],"_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-6942e0f752f83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aaleanna got hot in the fourth quarter as she sparked a late rally for Milton against Holy Innocents'. Milord cashed in from deep twice, hitting a corner three in crunch time. Milord forced a turnover and scored in transition off a steal. The sophomore finished with 8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 2 steals. Milord's strong build and lethal outside shot will draw plenty of college attention over the course of her career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1308457"],"_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-6942e0f752fe3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Setch finished with 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. She had the unenviable task of defending [player_tooltip player_id='541419' first='Kate' last='Harpring'] on multiple positions which will only make her better in the long run. Mackenzie hit a nice three-pointer in the fourth quarter and wen 2-2 from the line. Setchel is a key piece for the Lady Titans. Her production off the bench could be an X-Factor come state tournament time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899822"],"_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-6942e0f753043"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There wasn't a ton of playing time to be had for Benquet against Loganville in a 55-37 win, but she still flashed intrigue. Candela has a strong, sturdy frame. She was vocal on defense when on the floor. She stepped outside to hit a mid-range jumper. I think she could be a difference maker in due time as she gets older and more experience with increased reps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1238207"],"_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-6942e0f7530a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In a 55-37 win over Loganville, London posted 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. I like her physicality, a strong tweener forward. She sealed in the post for an And-1 and later scored on a putback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255391"],"_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-6942e0f753103"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is no denying that Ellie can score the ball. Her touch is pristine even if her shot can sometimes look unorthodox. Warren came in off the bench to score with a pair of jumpers – a short-range shot and a corner three. She finished with 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Her floor spacing is critical around [player_tooltip player_id='541419' first='Kate' last='Harpring']. Warren is an intriguing prospect that will ascend as she fills into her body and diversifies her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
