In a couple of her most recent games, Kate's key contributions on both sides of the ball can't go overlooked. Kate also had a 5 stl game, so that should demonstrate the type of production she's able to drum up defensively. The experience, ability to finish plays and competitiveness shine bright with Sweeney. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["392966"],"_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-697422f9a6788"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='392966' first='Bridget' last='Hill'] (2027) | 5'4 PG | BG </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bridget is an absolute hound that causes havoc for opposing team's top ballhandlers. She disrupts timing, shades scorers and just generally puts forth more hustling effort than those in front of her. Hill also affects the boards for a guard plus she can sprinkle in some scoring herself when the time calls for it. BG's Hill is a player that's worth mentioning here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These 5 names are stirring up some new conversations especially as the '27 rankings were just updated. Look out for these juniors in future discussions.
