This kid is special, and what stands out the most is the even keel emotion she carries. Even though Washington was slated to win from the start of the season, her expression never changed, whether the game was close or not. What also stood out was her efficiency when it came to scoring. In the final game, she went on a run by herself, knocking down two big threes back to back to really separate the lead. Avery has the guts and the adaptability to play whatever role is needed of her to win</em> | <strong>Tournament Average - 22ppg, 5.5reb, 62% FG </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"elements":{"link":{"color":{"text":"var:preset|color|primary"}}}},"textColor":"primary"} --> <p class="has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color"><strong>PREP GIRLS HOOPS TOURNAMENT MVP </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["627163"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1800312,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69addeb2b68fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Dalia had already cemented herself in Illinois history before making the trip downstate, but the way she capped it off deserves its respect. Moving into a new class always brings a level of doubt, yet from the start of the season, she separated herself and quickly became the focal point of a program that already had plenty of pieces around her. Her ability to score from all levels, defend multiple positions, and still play a selfless brand of basketball is what made her presence stand out. Quincy is getting a high tier type of player and teammate.</em> | <strong>Tournament Average - 23.5ppg, 11.5rebs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773806"],"_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-69addeb2b694b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Meadows' trip downstate was not foreseen by anyone who had an opinion. However, when you have a player like Ramel, the chance can always be there. Ramel's style of play is as simple as it gets, but it's effective, and in this sport, that's the goal to get to. Though she didn't get her team to the final game of the tourney, in both the opening and the third place game, Ramel was on a mission to help lead her team to a win. Wherever she lands is getting a strong player.</em> | <strong>Tournament Average 18ppg, 9rebs, 53.6% FG</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513525"],"_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-69addeb2b698e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>The BYU commit made her presence known in Game 1 of the state tournament and put on a complete show. In Game 2, early foul trouble took away the chance for another high scoring performance. However, with Stella being team first, it did not affect the energy she brought when she was on the floor. She continued to make smart plays, whether it was for herself or for those around her. Over the course of four years, she has played multiple roles, always making an impact. BYU is getting a player who can be the future of their program down the road. </em>| <strong>Tournament Average 18.5ppg, 4.5rebs</strong></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":"Anna Weber","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pleasant Plains","_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-69addeb2b6a1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>In both games, Weber showed her dominance. She is an issue in the low post, but also had moments where she showed her ability to stretch the court. The potential is there for her at the next level, and she has the size and tangibles needed to compete. Strong potential to be a solid impact at the next level.</em> | <strong>Tournament Average 17ppg, 11.5rebs, 50% FG</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["852625"],"_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-69addeb2b6a62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Neumann had everyone on the edge of their seats when she was on the floor this weekend. The athleticism, the no wait attitude, and her ability to score efficiently did not go unnoticed. Out of the starting five, she may be the only one who is basketball first, yet she still helped lead her team to this moment. She is one of those players who still has nothing but room to grow and could get even better at the next level. </em>| <strong>Tournament Average 18ppg, 8.5rebs, 59.3% FG</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728004"],"_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-69addeb2b6aa1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>In game one, Towne settled back into a complementary role for Nazareth despite being one of the best prospects, let alone guards, in the state. In the championship game, she flipped the switch and reminded everyone why there is a gap between her and others. The confidence to shoot from deep, the quickness and vision to create for others, and the stamina to stay on the floor without needing a break all showed up when it mattered most. She capped off her junior year in incredible fashion. </em>| <strong>Tournament Average - 10ppg, 5apg</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
