She has an impressive mid-range pull-up jumper and can create space for herself effectively. She punishes teams trying to play a 2-3 zone by shooting over the top, finishes strongly around the basket with a deep bag of moves, and plays well off the pick and roll, finding open teammates with her smooth handle. Against Berkshire she had a strong showing, finishing with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals. She also knocked down 4 three pointers in this game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["924532"],"_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-695c8fb1111d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sophia had a standout showing at the Nickerson Showcase and is a name to watch as the season progresses. She stays calm under pressure, not letting defenses dictate her pace while finishing well with either hand around the basket, creates turnovers with her defensive anticipation, and consistently sees the floor to set up her teammates in scoring positions, making her a complete two-way player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1243083"],"_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-695c8fb1112b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adrianna showcased her defensive instincts against Oliver Ames with two steals and a near double-double of 9 points and 8 rebounds. She's a patient offensive player, able to create space off the dribble, attack 2-3 zones effectively, and make smart passes to open teammates without forcing plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1045928"],"_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-695c8fb111390"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abby had a huge performance against Thayer Academy, finishing with 32 points including a clutch mid-range pull-up to give her team the lead in overtime. She plays strong around the basket with pro-level footwork, using her shoulder and step-through moves to create space, shoots confidently from deep, explodes past defenders with her quick first step, and pushes the pace in transition to generate easy scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates. She knocked down 4 three pointers in her big performance.</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":" Katelyn Kearnan","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_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":"Milford 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-695c8fb111607"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Katelyn moves exceptionally well without the ball, making smart backdoor cuts and consistently putting herself in scoring positions for teammates. She's a high-IQ player who can knock down threes, reads the floor effectively to make winning plays, and contributed across the stat sheet with 7 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocks in a recent game against Attleboro, showcasing her all-around impact on both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
