She was 6-7 shooting and finished the game with 17 points and 6 rebounds. She led the charge as she was too much for McMinn on the inside. This sophomore wasn't afraid of the lights as she stepped it up for her club, leading the charge. This Lady Mustangs club is very talented, and Kinlee gives them another weapon that teams must account for.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["816611"],"_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-69b4b7fe2c66f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Was leading the charge as her team took down a talented Westview squad.
