The middle school star was so prominent in this one. She was also able to add 6 ast, 7 stl, 2 bl along with 4 rebounds. Her drive and dynamic ability hold a ton of power.

Each shot she connects with on is a dagger. On top of that, Zareia is getting to all her preferred spots without a worry about defenders in her space. Colome plays with a striking swagger and is backing it up with imposing outputs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1050217"],"_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-6981cc199bbb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1050217' first='Sara' last='Santimaw'] (2027) | 6'2 Wing | Taft </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To close out January, Sara helped lead Taft in a win over SHG 59-50. Her 18 pts, 8 reb, 2 ast, plus 3 bl were key contributions in this matchup. Her adjustable and resourceful playstyle a make her such an intriguing next level recruit. She has many qualities college coaches are looking for, including vital intangibles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1713937"],"_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-6981cc199bbf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1713937' first='Fatima' last='Diouf'] (2027) | SG | PSA </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Diouf was PSA's leading scorer as they took down a top team in Hoosac. Fatima scored 29 pts and 4 stl, going 7/10 from 3. Her impact was certainly felt in this one. Fatima is a player that's worth keeping eyes on moving forward in '27. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There're plenty of names that can be discussed as February starts out, but these 5 girls have been particularly noteworthy. They're all mentioned for different reasons, but all deserving of attention for their recent performances.
