<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The San Diego Sectionals are underway in what looks to be one of the most competitive tourneys in recent memory. The field is wide open with no shortage of under-the-radar talent. Keep an eye on the ladies below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278003"],"_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-6995449fa2781"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The McDonald's All-American nominee continues to show flashes of a high upside. <strong>Bianca </strong>has elite size and versatility. She also has the lateral quickness and shot-making ability to play exclusively on the wing. <strong>Bianca</strong> applies good on-ball pressure on the perimeter. She uses her wingspan to defend in the post without fouling. Good shooter with a soft touch around the basket. Legit 3-level scorer who routinely finishes with either hand. <strong>Bianca</strong> has very good instincts and reaction time to the ball. This leads to several blocks and deflections throughout the course of a game. Offensively, she can handle the ball a bit, shoot from distance, and even facilitate for others from time-to-time. Very few prospects have the pure stroke <strong>Bianca</strong> has at her size. Can't miss prospect who will be a player to watch at the next level!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Mia Jacobson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_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":"Westview","_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-6995551152e9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Mia</strong> can handle the ball in the open floor and has the fluidity you are looking for in a wing prospect. She is nearly a walking double-double, giving you plenty on both ends. The smooth forward is able to glide to the basket with long strides. When she takes her time and gets her feet set, she can knock it down from long-range. <strong>Mia</strong> began the year with a remarkable 32 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks. The skillset she brings to the table is rare for her size. Engaged help defender with the length and athleticism to cover ground fairly quickly. Willing passer who doesn't force shots offensively. <strong>Mia </strong>checks all the boxes! Arguably the top hidden gem in the senior class!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901246"],"_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-69858b3f58dab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2nd team Metro-Mesa League selection was team captain as a sophomore, a testament to not only her talent, but also her confidence, leadership, and reliability. <strong>Serenity</strong> has shown noticeable improvement in the scoring department in comparison to her freshman season. She is 3rd on the team in scoring, with solid consistency throughout the year. Her all-around game is evident (2nd on the team in rebounds and assists). What makes <strong>Serenity </strong>even more of a commodity is what she gives you on the defensive end. She is a ball thief who creates havoc on and off-the-ball. Uses her wingspan and instincts to jump the passing lane. Has the athleticism and motor to throw an entire offense out of rhythm. <strong>Serenity</strong> is arguably the top under-the-radar two-way wing in the sophomore class. Keep an eye on her development moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Jaliyah Fleming","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Grossmont","_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-6995551152dd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Jaliyah</strong> is virtually automatic from long-range and appears to be getting into an unbreakable rhythm at the perfect time of the year. 9 made threes last week against Granite Hills! Pure shooter who is also consistent and efficient. 21 games on the season with 3 or more threes. Nearly 50% from long-range on the year. How does she get it done? <strong>Jaliyah </strong>is able to set her feet and showcase a smooth, effortless jumper with little wasted motion. She has the stature to get her shot off with ease. Sharpshooter who competes hard on both ends. <strong>Jaliyah</strong> has the ability to break the game open at any given moment!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268010"],"_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-6995551152f02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The freshman phenom has exceeded expectations, no doubt about it! <strong>Jordan</strong> (20ppg) has led Francis Parker to a top 20 ranking in all of California! She is very hard to contain off-the-bounce. This includes a nifty spin move and an effective go-to hesitation. Next-level slasher with the acrobatic athleticism to hang in the air. Exceptional body control for a freshman! <strong>Jordan</strong> already has solid length and an elite feel for the game. She can kill you off-the-dribble in the mid-range or spot-up at the 3pt line. What has been even more impressive is the consistency. <strong>Jordan</strong> has scored in double figures nearly every single game this year! The sky is the limit!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
