4A Post Season Primer: Who Do We Have On Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 4A will be a fun one to watch this post season. They are multiple teams that will look to make deep runs into the tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first team is Loyola. The Ramblers are 28-2 heading into regional play. I expect them to make a deep run and get to ISU this post season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["758055"],"_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-698f4509c5459"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Naraky is a dominant forward for Loyola. She can score at will from the post but also possess the ability to step out and hit a jumper. Emily runs the court well in transition creating easy baskets on the break. Naraky and the Ramblers will be a force in post season play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The next team is Benet Academy. They are 24-4 entering post season play and received the number 1 seed in their sub sectional. This team is my favorite to be cutting down the nets as state champions this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["626814"],"_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-69938d561d8b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mersinger is an great all around prospect for Benet. She is not only a lockdown defender, but can play efficiently within the flow of the offense. Ava's unselfish play style makes her a player that anyone would want as a teammate. She is one to keep an eye on this post season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> Third is my sleeper pick, and that is Quincy. They enter this post season 22-8, and are an exciting young team. It will be a tough road for them as they will likely have to face a very good Alton team in their regional championship. [program_tooltip program_id='712375' first='All' last='in'] all I think Quincy has what it takes to get it done and make a huge run this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["846390"],"_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-69938d561d90b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The number 1 ranking is well deserved as Nicholson does it all. She fills up stat sheets night in and night out, and excels at all aspects of the game. I'm most impressed by her playmaking ability and the way she gets her teammates involved. Khloe is a star for Quincy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final team is Carmel Catholic. Carmel stands at 21-9 entering post season play. They played a very tough schedule and are battle tested for regionals. Keep an eye on Carmel this post season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["461884"],"_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-69938d561d954"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hartman is having a nice senior season putting up 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. She is a player that can play any role on the court. Josie has the ability to get to the hoop and score. She isn't afraid to take contact, creating free throw opportunities. Coaches will want to keep their eye on Josie this post season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
