The City Wide Playoff Guide

Friday night, the postseason isn't confined to just UNF, where the Rural State Finals kick off at 6 pm. The high school playoff experience stretches all across the First Coast. This week, the area has become a true playoff map — giving fans, scouts, and hoop heads multiple meaningful stops all within driving distance. Wherever you are on the First Coast, there is a playoff game near you. In this article, we highlight some of the top prospects in action at the various locations in the city.   Saint Johns River Corridor School - Bolles   Bolles is located on the banks of the Saint Johns River and if you are heading close to the South of Jacksonville, down San Jose Boulevard, visit one of the prettiest campuses in the State, and the girls' basketball program is not too bad either. Bolles will host second-seeded Newberry, and the guard matchup is must-see tv.    Evioe Freeman has been lights out all season. Her ability to attack the opposition stands out, and she is in attack mode from beginning to end. Offensively, Freeeman plays a lot with the ball in her hands, and she comes off the pick with the option to drive, shoot, or pass. All options are solid, but when Freeman makes up her mind to drive, she is at her most dangerous. She has a lightning-quick first step and can also pullup in the midrange area. Freeman is solid from beyond the three-point arc. On defense, Freeman plays the passing lanes and is a nightmare on-ball defender.    .    Brandy Whitfied travels to Bolles with some eye-popping numbers. She averages 28.7 points per game and is only 12 points away from posting 700 points for the season. Defensively, Whitfield averages 3.8 steals per game. There is no question the Senior guard is a playmaker who gets her buckets but also can dish the rock and put her teammates in scoring position.    Saint Johns River Corridor School - Bishop Kenny   If you are closer to the downtown area, Bishop Kenny sits just east of the Saint Johns River and features some of the top shooters in the city.    [player_tooltip player_id='515064' first='Kathleen' last='Crawley'] is one of the top shooters in the city and always hovers around 40 percent from behind the arc. Crawley is a versatile player who can shoot the three at a high percentage and can also put the ball down and get to the rim. Crawley also rebounds at a high clip and poses a threat in th epaint as well.     [player_tooltip player_id='741734' first='Sienna' last='Williams'] is an X Factor in the Regional Finals and has the ability to be a difference maker. Williams does a little of everything on the tea and really settled in for an impressive and productive season. Williams can handle the rock and helps take pressure off her Freshman point guard. She can also shoot the rock, so if an opponent pays too much attention to Crawley and Deegan, Williams can hurt you from the perimeter.     [player_tooltip player_id='400811' first='Elle' last='Deegan'] is another sniper just east of the St Johns river and if you are in that area on Friday night, you can see the smoothest looking shot on the First Coast. Not only are her mechanics textbook, but she is productive from behind the arc and on the perimeter. Deegan can handle the ball, rip to the midrange, and stretch the defense with her shooting ability.    Battle in St Johns county.   If you are traveling south into St Johns County, stop by Tocoi Creek and see the matchup between Tocoi Creek and the Cinderella Team, Bartram Trail. This game features some of the top guards on the First Coast    [player_tooltip player_id='400785' first='Audrey' last='Beyer'] is one of the top players on the First Coast and she can hurt you in a lot of ways. She has deep three-point range and can also get to the rim. Beyer is crafty and gets to the free-throw quiet often. She can rebound the ball and gets a lot of her points in the painted area.     [player_tooltip player_id='752581' first='Alyssa' last='Donohue'] is equally as dangerous as Beyer and can get to the rim and slash up teams all game long. Donohue attacks the rim constantly and is also a specialist in transition. She reads the floor well and can fill the lane or take it coast to coast. Donohue also plays defense. She is sneaky at getting steals and is a very good shot blocker from the small forward position.
