She is a terrific ball handler. She can change speeds and accelerate in traffic and she can find open players on a consistent basis. She is outstanding going to the basket and can finish several different ways. She is a good shooter, but I expect that part of her game to be excellent within the next two years. Izzy is a highly motivated player and she will be a player to watch in Arizona for the next 3 years. </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":"Kdynce Parks","_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":"5'10u0022","_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":"Campo Verde","_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-695b16ea333d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kdynce Parks had a nice weekend at the Classic displaying her outstanding athletic ability and her defensive prowess. She is one of the fastest players in the open floor I've seen in a long time. She can defend full court, she can rebound, she is a good passer, and her shooting ability is getting better and better. She is long for a Guard and defensively she can tie up smaller guards and make them one dimensional. Kdynce fits well with her Campo Verde squad and she plays her role well. Look for Kdynce to garner some All Region consideration this season and be a factor for Campo Verde as they pursue a State Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["674278"],"_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-695b16ea334b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='674278' first='Bailey' last='Barnes'] is another excellent player for the young Campo Verde squad, and she may be the best outside shooter on the team. She is excellent from the 3 point line, and she can score on all 3 levels. She is a fearless shooter, and she can catch and shoot or score of the dribble. She is a good defender and she has a high basketball IQ. Bailey will be a critical piece for this team as they approach the playoffs and look to get to the State Championship. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["921161"],"_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-695b16ea33584"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='921161' first='Tylaiah' last='Wily'] is an outstanding point guard and had a solid showing at the Classic. She is very poised and calm for a young player especially under pressure. She displayed excellent leadership abilities which is rare for a sophomore. She is a very good shooter and she can score from all 3 levels. She also makes good decisions with eh basketball and she handles the ball well in traffic and under pressure. She is a tough defender and she can defend multiple positions. Look for Wily to be one of the top guards in the state by her Senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1254006"],"_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-695b16ea33659"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1254006' first='Destiny' last='Young'] turned in an outstanding performance at the Classic especially considering she is just a Freshman. She is a tough defender that can guard multiple positions. She is a good ball handler and she can shoot the ball well. What stood out to me is that she wasn't intimidated being on the big stage and she played with poise especially in pressure situations. She will be a critical player for the Lady Tigers as they look to get back to the State Title Game again in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
