<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out below 5 standout players that have caught my eye with their strong play. This group contains 4 juniors as well as one 7th grader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["785451"],"_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-69ac94d895534"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ivanna is the second top-ranked player nationally in the class of 2027, and after seeing her play it is clear why. She led her team through the playoffs of the Naismith Girls' High School Tournament with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Extremely strong, she attacks the basket with confidence and uses polished footwork beyond the three-point line to get set before the ball arrives. She draws contact well and defends physically, using her body to make scoring difficult.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051535"],"_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-69ac94d8955a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alannah is a 6-foot-1 guard whose tight handle and height make her a difficult matchup. She delivered a strong performance in her team's regular-season finale, recording a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds in a nine-point win over Mount Saint Charles as her team entered the playoffs as the No. 2 seed. Her high release makes shots extremely hard to contest, and she keeps the ball moving when defenses collapse while using her length to swat shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["815667"],"_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-69ac94d8955ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nevaeh fulfills her point guard role as an on-court extension of her coach, running the offense and making the most of her scoring opportunities. She became a 1,000-point scorer earlier this season and continues to score efficiently. Defensively, she has very active hands, picking opponents' pockets and turning steals into fast-break chances. Out of the pick-and-roll, she can attack the rim, finish with a floater, knock down the shot if defenders go under the screen, while finding open teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["989995"],"_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-69ac94d89562f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peyton continues to impress every time out. She helped lead her middle school team to a 15–2 record, a Final Four appearance, and a Northwest Division title. Over those 17 games she scored nearly 450 points and recorded close to 100 steals. Peyton has a very tight handle and does a good job getting her team organized offensively while bringing the ball up the court. She finishes well with both her left and dominant hand, making her a dynamic scorer around the basket and a name to watch before she reaches high school.</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":"Jocelyn Genser","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Northfield Mount Hermon","_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-69ac94d8956de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jocelyn recently faced the challenge of guarding Newman's 6-foot-5 center for most of the game and did not back down, finishing with 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks. She does a strong job staying completely vertical when contesting shots, allowing her to block attempts without fouling. Jocelyn is also comfortable on the perimeter, capable of knocking down three-pointers and mid-range shots from just inside the line. Her long reach combined with her shooting ability makes her a difficult matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
