Inside Seymour’s Balanced Attack

Inside Seymour’s Balanced Attack

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seymour is one of the most balanced teams in the area because their production doesn't just come from one place, it comes from everywhere. The Wildcats can score inside, shoot from the perimeter, create off the dribble, and apply real defensive pressure for four quarters. What stands out the most is how many different players appear across the statistical leaderboards. That kind of distribution shows a team that plays unselfishly and forces opponents to defend all five spots on the floor. Seymour doesn't rely on a single option: they rely on matchups, movement, and versatility. That makes them difficult to scout and even harder to contain once the game starts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Mia Cunningham ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Seymour High School ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69766eb74bdc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cunningham is the engine that makes Seymour go because of how many ways she affects the game beyond scoring. She establishes Seymour's physical presence early, controls the paint, and dictates the rebounding battle on both ends. Cunningham plays with a relentless motor defensively, jumping passing lanes and protecting the rim without fouling. Offensively, she is efficient and patient, converting high-percentage looks while forcing defenses to collapse into the lane. That attention she draws opens the floor for Seymour's shooters and guards to operate freely. Her 15.5 points and 16.0 rebounds per game show the production, but her 49% shooting, 2.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game show how active she is in every phase. With 217 points, 148 rebounds, 39 steals, and 17 blocks, she impacts possessions in ways most post players don't. Opponents must account for her on every trip down the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Viktoria Michalczyk ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Seymour High School ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69766eb74beaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Michalczyk is the steadying presence in the backcourt who controls Seymour's tempo. She reads defenses well, keeps the ball moving, and understands when to create for herself versus others. She is comfortable operating in space, using her handle to break down defenders and force rotations. When defenses help on Cunningham, she makes them pay with confident perimeter shooting. Her ability to score (12.1 PPG) while leading the team in playmaking (5.0 assists per game, 70 total) shows how she balances both roles. Shooting 38% from the field and 33% from three, she provides reliable scoring without disrupting flow. She is the connector that keeps Seymour organized offensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Mia Perry ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Seymour High School ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69766eb74bf53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perry gives Seymour versatility on the wing with her ability to contribute on both ends. She rebounds well for her position (5.7 RPG, 80 total) and helps Seymour finish defensive possessions. Perry moves well without the ball and finds scoring opportunities within the offense rather than forcing shots. Defensively, she brings energy and length that allows Seymour to pressure passing lanes and contest shots on the perimeter. Her 10.6 points per game come from smart shot selection and transition opportunities. Perry's presence allows Seymour to play bigger or smaller depending on the matchup without losing effectiveness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Valentina Melissano ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Seymour High School ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69766eb74c004"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Melissano has emerged as a true perimeter weapon early in her career. Shooting an impressive 48% from three point range, she forces defenses to respect Seymour's spacing at all times. Her ability to knock down shots changes how opponents defend Cunningham in the post and Michalczyk on drives. Despite being a freshman, she plays with confidence and poise that fits seamlessly into Seymour's system. Her 38% field goal percentage reflects her willingness to take quality perimeter looks. She gives Seymour a floor-spacing element that makes the offense harder to guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With contributors like Jenna Pollastro (2.1 APG), Colbie Drezek (2.4 SPG), and Jamie Keough (0.5 BPG, 64% FT) filling important roles, Seymour's depth becomes another advantage. Each brings a specific skill that shows up on the stat sheet and in game flow. Whether it's ball movement, perimeter defense, or interior support, the Wildcats get meaningful production throughout the rotation. Seymour's strength is that opponents can't key in on one player or one action. Their leaders are spread across scoring, rebounding, assists, shooting, and defensive categories, showing a team that wins with balance and versatility. When every player has a defined role and produces within it, Seymour becomes a matchup problem from the opening tip. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Seymour is one of the most balanced teams in the area because their production doesn't just come from one place, it comes from everywhere. The Wildcats can score inside, shoot from the perimeter, create off the dribble, and apply real defensive pressure for four quarters. What stands out the most is how many different players appear across the statistical leaderboards. That kind of distribution shows a team that plays unselfishly and forces opponents to defend all five spots on the floor. Seymour doesn't rely on a single option: they rely on matchups, movement, and versatility. That makes them difficult to scout and even harder to contain once the game starts.
