She is a long and active player with a high motor. Offensively she excels at getting downhill and finishing. Defensively she is a menace, blocking shots, jumping passing lanes and just imposing her physical will on guards and forwards. Newton is a complete player with next level skill and size right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874575"],"_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-697250d6b974b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ned is a quickly developing sophomore and her growth is consistent and steady. Defensively she is tough and that will always earn her minutes. She embraces the physical aspect of the game and frustrates players on both sides of the ball.

She has a strong frame that allows her to finish through contact. She is a high IQ player on both sides of the ball, grabbing steals and consistently making the right play in transition. McDaniel will be a player to watch heading into District because of her obvious game impact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1239795"],"_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-69728607c040d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Graves has played great hoops this season. Her production and visible athleticism are exactly what coaches look for at the next level. She is a high energy, high IQ player that works hard on both sides of the ball. SHe is a trusted three point shooter, and in the open court nobody can catch her when she takes off. Watch out for Graves to have some big games heading into District play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236785"],"_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-69728607c04b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pierce has to be recognized as one of the under ranked players in her class based on her tremendous growth this season. In a recent game she scored 39 in a tough loss. Although her game continues to develop, she is fundamentally complete which makes her growth a sure thing. She has a solid handle, clear understanding of pace, court awareness and a high motor. Watch out for Pierce in District play, she could be the catalyst for some upsets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
