2030 Rankings-Jumping On The List

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I attended the Top 80 Basketball HTX on Saturday because I knew there were several players from the 2030 and 2031 classes I hadn't seen, seen enough of, or seen in a while, so here are some I caught up with who have been added to the mix</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1775258"],"_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-699dd41200f6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark was last seen by me in<strong> 2023, @playerrimidies</strong> caught her back in<strong> September,<em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/ella-clark-2/"> see evaluations here,</a></em></strong> so her rebounding and going to coast to score immediately stood out, and she did a good job scoring off the dribble.
