Eason's contribution to winning can't be denied; her impact has already been felt early on. Jali has been playing very well as of late, showing signs of a star in the making. She's starting to score the ball confidently too. Eason is getting deep in the lane on drives and showing flashes of dynamic creation ability in bunches. The lively defense plus activity on the boards must be mentioned as well. Watching Jali's last game, it's obvious how much of a force she can. She has tremendous upside; it wouldn't be surprising to see Eason crack the top 10 at some point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["483912"],"_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-695105632f83d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='483912' first='Madison' last='Benigni'] (2027) | 5'5 PG | Hamden Hall </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madison is one of the premier point guards in the entire region. Benigni has been on a tear lately and a name making a lot of buzz. She's been a special player to start off her junior season. Madison has been known to be one of the better facilitators, but she can easily put on her scoring hat. There's been a couple high scoring games already, including a 30 pt game 2 weeks ago. Benigni has hit her stride and one to keep watching into the new year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["970534"],"_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-695105632f8bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='970534' first='Lily' last='Davis'] (2028) | 5'8 PG | Tabor </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lily has been considered one of the leading points in her class. Early into the season Davis is looking quite pleasant. She's stepped into more responsibility and is shining doing so. Her athleticism plus stifling defense has laid the groundwork for her to be successful, but Lily is seeming even more polished from last time watching her. She recently dropped 22 points at the Nickerson Tournament vs WMA. Her performance in that game showed her dynamic ability and overall growth as a scorer. Davis has been nothing short of compelling this year; expect to see her forward this gained momentum into 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["341008"],"_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-695105632f93c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='341008' first='Gabby' last='Middleton'] (2027) | 5'8 SF | Newman </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Newman star is widely recognized as one of the top talents around. Middleton showed yet again that in high leverage moments her number is the one to call. She led her team with 20 points in a comeback win at the Nickerson Tournament. The way she operates as a creating wing is a thing of pure beauty. Gabby showed poise in the pick &amp; roll, created driving paths off favorable angles, found others after forcing the defense to shift, exerted her strength as she steered defenders where she wanted them plus Gabby was the one to hit the tough shots with heavy attention on her. Middleton was just generally taking advantage of each possession she had, especially late into the game. Middleton is dictating force to be reckoned with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["299953"],"_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-695105632f9bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='299953' first='Bela' last='Cucuta'] (2026) | 5'10 CG | Tilton </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bela's 26 pts against Rivers came in marvelous fashion. She was running off screens, involved in dho actions and never hesitated as she confidently pulled up in transition. Cucuta put the pressure on the defense the whole game. She was absolutely cutthroat plus Bela never seemed unruffled. The defense didn't show enough to be able to shake the assertive scorer. Cucuta has always been a pleasure to watch and her last performance was no different.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
