Week Three: Ten Impact Makers

Week Three delivered a mix of elite performances and timely contributions as players across the region stepped it up . Some rose to the moment with high-level scoring and clutch shooting, while others made their mark through playmaking, defense, and the little things that don't always show up in a box score. Here are the Week Three Impact Makers—the ten players who changed the game for their teams.      [player_tooltip player_id='738971' first='Gabi' last='Iturralde'] was special once again as her game continues to evolve. With sharp court vision, she read defenses cleanly, attacked in transition or in the half-court, and consistently connected from the perimeter. Her three point shooting was at its best when the outcome was hanging in the balance. Defensively, she was a turnover-creating magnet—jumping passing lanes and picking pockets all week. A dynamic two-way playmaker, Iturralde turned up the heat and at this rate, the season will be a towering inferno by season's end.     [player_tooltip player_id='708144' first='Jocelyn' last='Hoffmann'] put on one of the most remarkable shooting displays of the season—15 threes in two games while hitting nearly 65% from deep. Hoffmann wasn't just a specialist; she got downhill, created for others, and played with poise in big moments. A shot-making playmaker who made a major splash in Week 3.     [player_tooltip player_id='933334' first='Shelby' last='Gaines'] continues to strengthen her résumé as one of the most consistent bucket-getters in the state. She surpassed 20 points all week long, posted multiple double-doubles, and currently averages 24 PPG, 11.1 RPG, and nearly 4 SPG—from the point guard position. In one outing Gaines posted an amazing 35 point-18 rebound effort. Gaines is a true scoring weapon whose production demands coaches' attention.     [player_tooltip player_id='912251' first='Ella' last='Crowe'] continued her stellar stretch and reaffirmed herself as one of North Florida's most clutch Sophomore performers. She attacked downhill with purpose, consistently earned trips to the free-throw line, and knocked down shots from both the perimeter and mid-range. A momentum-shifting guard who rebounds well and works from the tip to the final horn.     [player_tooltip player_id='1414188' first='Elena' last='Atanaskovic'] delivered one of the most versatile performances of the week. She stretched the floor with perimeter shooting, finished creatively at the rim—including a smooth baseline reverse. Atanaskovic was a reliable play-maker against the press and in the offensive sets. Her feel for the game was rather impressive and really showcased her basketball IQ. Atanaskovic breakout showing made her one of Week three's biggest risers.     [player_tooltip player_id='750603' first='Judah' last='Smith'] made valuable contributions as a freshman, knocking down a deep three, handling the ball under pressure, and even controlling tempo when running the point. Defensively, she was alert and disruptive, capitalizing on loose handles, getting deflections and creating turnovers. Smith is a composed young guard with clear upside. She is making major strides and it's only the third game of the season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1314253' first='Jalaun' last='Meeks'] made things happen every time she stepped on the floor. The freshman splashed a three, scored in transition, handled the ball confidently, and showed poise beyond her years. Meeks was also disruptive on the defensive end causing numerous turnovers. Her impact was very noticeable. The young guard looks like she will be a major contributor throughout the season.     [player_tooltip player_id='514545' first='Mariah' last='Young'] delivered in high-pressure moments for her squad. The senior served as the primary ball handler in crunch time, knocked down perimeter shots, and continued to score effectively in transition, often with a smooth pull-up. Her composure and leadership were evident as she guided a young, sophomore-heavy roster through tough matchups.     [player_tooltipplayer_id='947069' first='Destiny' last='Sanders'] gave her team a major perimeter spark. She connected on multiple threes, drew fouls beyond the arc with craftiness, and attacked closeouts for mid-range scoring opportunities. With her energy and confidence, teammates look for her when they need a big perimeter shot. Sanders brought intensity in the game against San Jose Prep. The young guard shot it well in the summer and her shot is still finding the bottom of the nets.     [player_tooltip player_id='1414203' first='Jania' last='Ervin'] showcased a well-rounded skill set in Week 3. She shot it well from the perimeter, handled the ball cleanly, defended multiple positions, and made smart decisions within the offense. Not flashy, but consistently productive—Irvin impacts the game on both ends and finds ways to score in transition and in the half-court. Ervin does a good job of bringing calmness to the back-court and contributing in anyway she can.
