MLK Holiday Classic Game Changers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's another holiday weekend with the Martin Luther King Jr holiday coming up on Monday.&nbsp; To honor his legacy, the MLK Holiday Classic brought together schools from across North Carolina and Virginia to compete against other programs that they won't typically see in their regular seasons.&nbsp; I was able to catch all eight games on day one of the event.&nbsp; Here's the first group of game changers that I saw from these competitions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["599110"],"_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-696c29510764a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='599110' first='Amaya' last='Ross'] was doing well using her power dribbles to get into position and bank it in off the glass.&nbsp;
