Many wouldn't have had Kimball ranked at #25 prior to the season, but the positioning now certainly seems justified. Her dynamic attacks, sharp defensive skills and intangibles are nothing short of striking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1667742"],"_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-699cf20f73da9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1667742' first='Sophia' last='Connaughton'] (2028) | SG | PA </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Connaughton juts put up 29 pts, 8 reb plus 2 bl in a late season win for PA. The '28 guard is becoming more and more of a compelling prospect after discovering her early on this season. Sophia has all the tools to be a considerable name in her class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802977"],"_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-699cf20f73df5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='802977' first='Ava' last='Ayotte'] (2028) | PG/SG | MSC </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ayotte scored her 1000th career point earlier this week. The dynamic guard has been absolutely invaluable for MSC. She's a significant part of the equation and a consistent factor that's liable to get hot early on in any given game. High scoring outputs are sort of the normal for her in the commanding offensive schemes. There aren't a handful of RI guards that have this level of overpowering ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1209648"],"_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-699cf20f73e37"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1209648' first='Maliah' last='Pierre'] (2027) | SF | WH </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maliah impressed many over the week. She put up 24 pts, 4 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl vs King Phillip and 30 pts, 6 reb plus 4 ast vs Oliver Ames. Pierre was named to the All-Tournament Team for her stately performances at the Spartan Classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1003924"],"_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-699cf20f73e75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1003924' first='Brooke' last='Lilley'] (2027) | Guard | Darrow </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lilley has been a tear lately. In the last game watched vs Hamden Hall, Brooke had 20 pts, 3 ast, 2 stl and 1 reb in a bigtime win. This level of production is nothing new from the '27 guard this season. She's made some serious statements recently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
