<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the 2025/26 high school season coming to an end, here are five players that performed at a high level this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["900483"],"_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-69b19fba9208a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sadie closed out the season strong and helped lead her team to the NJSIAA Non-Public B North sectional championship, the program's first since 2012. She plays well on both ends of the floor, and her attention to the little details consistently contributes to winning basketball. She does a good job finding open space around the perimeter to spot up and knock down three-pointers. When defenders overplay her there, she puts the ball on the floor and attacks the basket effectively. She also sees the floor well and consistently finds teammates cutting to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913934"],"_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-69b19fba920f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexis had a strong sophomore season and proved to be a very effective two-way player. On the offensive end she can score in a variety of ways, from knocking down deep three-pointers to attacking the basket and finishing through contact. When she gets into the paint she uses floaters effectively to score over taller defenders. Defensively she stays patient around the rim, avoiding pump fakes and instead elevating at the right time to block or alter shots. She also finishes well around the basket with multiple moves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1317878"],"_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-69b19fba92143"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lovena helped lead Lawrence Academy to a second-place finish in NEPSAC Class B Large. She has a strong pull-up jumper in the mid-range, often beating her defender and getting one dribble inside the arc to create space. She also shows solid footwork on the perimeter, using moves such as step-backs to generate separation for her shot. Lovena attacks the basket with confidence and can finish well with either hand. On defense she shows good anticipation, jumping into passing lanes and creating steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1353408"],"_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-69b19fba92187"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Georgia had a strong sophomore season at Point Boro as her team finished with a 14–13 record. She has a smooth handle and does a good job keeping the ball on a string while weaving around defenders to reach the basket. She makes smart passes and has the ability to deliver creative looks, including no-look passes when she knows where her teammates are. Around the rim she is a crafty finisher, using her body to shield the ball and finishing with either hand.</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":"Nyarah Dudley","_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":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"New London High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"IBELIEVE ELITE NATIONAL","_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-69b19fba9225e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nyarah played a major role in helping her team capture the ECC Division 1 championship, particularly with her defensive presence. Around the basket she shows strong footwork, using pump fakes patiently to get defenders off balance before finishing. She also has a deep scoring bag in the mid-range, creating space with pull-backs and other moves. When attacking the basket she plays through contact and looks to draw fouls while finishing strong at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
