Geez. We have some players in this state who are true bucket fillers. Lately, we have had many girls reach milestones, and it feels almost like it is becoming the norm. One such feat, such as 1,000 points, used to be rare; nowadays, players are achieving that accomplishment with ease. As I said, getting buckets and more buckets, that is what Tennessee girls do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the regular season winds down, teams are sharpening their skills and game plans as tournament play approaches. You are seeing an uptick in confidence as the cream is rising to the top. I will say this: I know it's a tough time of year, especially with the weather changing and sickness going around, but you are starting to see what girls want more because they are dialed in at this time of year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some young ladies who have shown up and showed out these last couple of days. From record-breaking to milestones, the numbers in the scoring column were surely on the upswing this past week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"MC LeMarbre","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bearden","_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-698b8a27957f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This sophomore was filling it up as she went toe to toe with Farragut. She couldn't be stopped as she scorched the bottom of the net, time and time again. A young hooper finding her footing, she is a solid addition to the BHS squad as they look toward state contention. She may not be the focal point now, but she is someone people need to keep an eye on.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821641"],"_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-698b8a27958a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young lady is unreal. One of the top players in the country, with an all-around game. A kid who is going to give you fits on both ends of the floor. She dropped 29 points against Jackson Christian, adding 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. A stat line like this is the norm, and she is one of the few in the country who can do it consistently. By far one of the top players in the state, it will be interesting to see who gets her commitment when it's time to announce where she will play at the next level.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899864"],"_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-698b8a279593e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This servant leader was feeling it as she dropped 42 points earlier this week. Talk about being laser-focused, she dialed it up from all three levels on her way to a career night. This solid two-way player has worked hard, and she is enjoying the fruits of her labor. Talented, hungry, and a sensational leader, she is one who can rally the troops and elevate everyone's play. As the postseason gets closer, look for her to be right at the forefront, ready to take on any opponent they get. A kid who is going to give it her all and go 110%.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1154958"],"_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-698b8a27959b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Need 12 points to eclipse the 1000 point mark, she dropped 31. This kid has had a sensational sophomore campaign, and she isn't done yet. A three-level scoring threat, she's been terrorizing opponents left and right. From attacking the painted area to dialing it up from deep, she has been a gamer every night her team plays. Look for her to continue on this trajectory and break multiple records before it's all said and done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["816630"],"_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-698b8a2795a21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Missouri signee was putting on a clinic against Oakland. In fact, she outscored the entire Oakland team, giving them headaches all throughout the night. She was locked in as she dropped 57 points, grabbed 18 rebounds, and had four blocks. The score was 71-48, and the Lady Admiral spearheaded this win right from the start. Look for her to be ready to bring it in postseason play and take this ball club to new heights along the way.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
