Team Eval: Bradley Central Looks Repeat Ready

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bradley Central girls' basketball team is playing at a high-level once again, and they look primed to win their fourth consecutive state title. With them currently in pursuit of accomplishing this feat, here is an evaluation of some of their best players and a look at what they have accomplished so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513228"],"_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-699d0a5ed2b62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top player of her class in TN, [player_tooltip player_id='513228' first='Kimora' last='Fields'], has led the way in Bradley Central, having an undefeated record of 27-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The recent Clemson commit is a Miss Basketball finalist in TN. Helping get this nomination were the crazy statistics she has put up in her senior season. Fields is averaging 33 PPG, 7.7 RPG, and 3.4 SPG. Her physical offensive style is a difficult one to slow down. And with proof that it works at the highest levels, last year's state tournament, she is likely due for another big postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of Fields' more memorable games this season was in the Seahawk Classic. She had 52 points and also 16 rebounds in a game in the tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899882"],"_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-699d0a5ed2bd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='899882' first='Addie' last='Geren'] has carved out an impressive senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Geren and her four other teammates on this list were listed on the All-District Team. Geren stamped her spot on this team with a number of things. On the offensive end, Geren is one of the better three-point shooters on the Bearretes. She recently had a game where she dropped a career-high 29 points, which included seven made threes. Geren is also a great contributor. She is great at attacking the paint and locating cutting teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensively, Geren provides some versatility, being able to guard both smaller centers and wing players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743733"],"_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-699d0a5ed2c26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Junior [player_tooltip player_id='743733' first='Kiley' last='Johnson'] is having a great junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the shooting guard position, Johnson is an aggro point guard. This aggression she has is under control and can lead to steals. On offense, Johnson is also a high-level three-point shooter like Geren. Johnson has a quick release on her jumper, making it difficult for defenders to guard her shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson also has elite-level speed. This goes into her being a great downhill scorer and a great facilitator. Johnson can throw out accurate passes that lead to buckets while moving at these high speeds, a feat that many guards at the high school level struggle with. This passing ability, with the level of shooters and interior scorers that Bradley Central has, is another layer of what makes this team such a tough opponent to win against.</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":"Jada Francis","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bradley Central","_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-699d0a5ed2ccf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Center for the Bearretes, Jada Francis, paired next to Fields in the interior brings a dynamic game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She can do whatever an individual game calls for. She can knock down threes at the center position, while also bullying her way to a bucket down low. Defensively, Francis is also one of the better rim defenders on her team.
