<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this piece we highlight five prospects that are leading the state in some positive statistical category so far this Winter for their Varsity program!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["758816"],"_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-696665085d9c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='758816' first='Laney' last='Dahlberg'] sits a top of the Per 32 Minutes stat so far this Winter throughout the state of Nebraska. Dahlberg is a PF at 5'11, that dominates her competition level because of her combination of height, coordination, a soft touch on the ball, and her smarts of what to do when. In most situations, Dahlberg is making a play on either side of the floor, handling her matchup with her because of her level on competition. She is a multiple sport athlete as well so her athletic ability just adds to everything she brings to the table. All in all, been a great and memorable season for far for Dahlberg and it's not close to being done just yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["871247"],"_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-696665085da4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='871247' first='Karissa' last='Stengel'] is proving to everyone watching that she is a next level PG when it comes to creating and assisting those around her. If you want to be see as legit as a PG by the next level, you MUST make everyone else around you better. You have to be able to control the game and you have to be a good teammate to those around you. Stengel checks off all of those boxes while dishing out 6.5 APG at this moment in time. A high number, that leads the state in SPG so far as we move into the month of February.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865331"],"_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-696665085daa7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='865331' first='Kennedy' last='Davis'] has been the inside presence that her team has needed so far this Winter. Davis, the 6'0 CG/SF, is averaging a state high in BPG with just under 5. This number is noteworthy to say the least. Whenever you have someone averaging over 1 BPG, it's something to notice so five is CRAZY work. Davis is a player that has size and she understands when the opposition is going to try to make an attempt at the bucket near the painted area. In those moments, she makes great decisions to step up and make a play as you can tell and that sound not slow down the rest of the season as long as she continues to play with confidence. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865325"],"_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-696665085daff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='865325' first='Jimena' last='Perez'] of Minatare High School is killing it in the SPG category so far this Winter for her Junior season. Perez has that mixture of fast hands, active feet, and knowledge on the defensive side of things to make plays on a consistent basis. She understands timing and when the opponent is going to do what, reading tendencies like a pro coming down the floor. She is also a risk taker. Someone that isn't afraid to mix it up with anyone and everyone in any given moments. At this point in time, Perez is grabbing just over 7 SPG. An eye-opening number to say the least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1131125"],"_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-696665085db57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What [player_tooltip player_id='1131125' first='Kailey' last='Patzel'] of Newman Grove/St. Edward High School is accomplishing right now is astonishing. Patzel is a 5'10 PF, that is currently grabbing just under 17.5 RPG. Let's say that again. 17.5 Rebounds Per Game for her squad. When this team competes, Patzel has a major hand in it on both offense and defense. She is a hard working individual with a high motor and a calculated aggressive demeanor whenever she laces up her kicks and we see that first hand every night. I don't know if Patzel will be able to keep this type of production up all Winter long but if so, it'll be a conversation come Playoff time. That's for sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
