This young lady is going to be greatly missed by the Tigers! She finished her final game today with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1804700,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/image-27.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-1804700" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["812222"],"_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-69b332f0e45ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1241434' first='Addison' last=''] has the heart of a warrior! I have no doubt she will be ready more than ever next season to help lead Circleville to another successful season, with her eyes set on a trip back to Dayton. Edgington's presence inside the paint is a nightmare for opponents to contain! She's an absolute beast on the boards, with terrific footwork on both sides of the block, and can knock down buckets from outside! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1804701,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/image-33.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-1804701" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861190"],"_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-69b332f0e4646"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Layla's athleticism, speed, and ability to handle the ball in pressure situations stands out. She does a solid job of finding seams to the basket and getting to the line- Claxton was 5-8 from the line today. She finished with 10 points, 5 boards, and 2 steals. <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1804715,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/Layla-Claxton1.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-1804715" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["808266"],"_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-69b332f0e4697"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilkins' game is sensational, and her frame- well, good luck keeping her off the boards and from scoring! Her focus is on catching the ball, and from there her athleticism takes over! Samaya has been the one all season that gets Purcell Marian going, and she'll be the go-to again next season. She finished today's game with 17 points, 7-9 from the charity stripe, and 17 rebounds. <em>(Featured Photo, below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1804703,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/8D54AEE5-E5F9-4D62-AE05-58BF3F590036_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1804703" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /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":1804706,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lauryn Brown","_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":"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":"Purcell Marian","_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-69b332f0e4749"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've been impressed this season with Brown's defense, particularly her on-ball pressure! She's a guard that takes care of the ball, makes wise decisions, and finds the teammate with the hot hand! She played well today, finishing with 8 points, on 3-4 FG, 2-3 3FG, and 5 rebounds. <em>(Below on defense)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1804702,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/701BBBC9-CFE3-472D-B30C-F377C119CAEA_1_105_c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1804702" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
