She knocked down clutch 3s, got to the rim with ease, and hit her open teammates so they could shoot in rhythm. She has 19 points in her team's win. She was in the zone last night, and GPS didn't have an answer for her. Ava was clearly the best player on the floor, and she carried herself as if no one could slow her down. This young lady will be up for the test against Knox Catholic on Friday. You better believe she will be ready to lead the cavalry as they resume their quest to get back to state contention.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155042"],"_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-699f1c6f0c675"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dropped 13 points as Harpeth Hall dismantled St. Agnes. This super tough sophomore utilized her length and size to help the Lady Bears seal the victory. If you haven't seen this young lady play before, she is a tough competitor who shows up on both ends of the floor. She is going to give you her best effort night in and night out.
