<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='824320' first='VA' last='Impact'] continues to build its presence across Central, Southside, and Southwest Virginia, fielding 15U, 16U, and 17U teams on the UA Rise Circuit while developing a deep pool of talent that's ready to compete and get on college coaches' radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728258"],"_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-69dd0e5361a95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zoey is one of the top 2028 prospects in West Virginia and brings a unique matchup problem as a 6'2” guard. She's a lockdown catch-and-shoot threat from three and can easily get to her spots in the mid-range for pull-up jumpers. Her high release point makes her shot nearly impossible to contest, and her length allows her to disrupt passing lanes and generate steals on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728259"],"_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-69dd0e5361b04"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natalie is a versatile player who can impact the game both inside and out. She finishes strong around the rim and consistently knocks down threes, especially from the corners and wings. She battles hard on the offensive glass to create extra possessions and uses her strength effectively in the paint. Her shooting ability makes her especially dangerous against zone defenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["904768"],"_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-69dd0e5361b50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natalee has been playing up for years, competing with older teams since 8th grade and already gaining attention from Division 1 and Division 2 programs as a sophomore. She has strong post moves and uses excellent footwork to maneuver around defenders. She finishes well with both hands and runs the floor hard in transition, consistently putting pressure on opposing defenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["912134"],"_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-69dd0e5361b98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mia, a member of the 17U team, earned Second Team All-District honors this past high school season. She's a reliable spot-up shooter from the wings and can also attack off the dribble to get to the rim and finish strong. Defensively, she creates turnovers with active hands and does a good job pushing the ball in transition to generate offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["919171"],"_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-69dd0e5361be0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooklyn is a skilled guard with a tight handle and strong feel for the game. She's a crafty finisher who can score on either side of the rim in a variety of ways. She had a strong showing in her first tournament of the season, bringing energy on both ends and playing solid defense. With her court vision, she consistently finds her teammates and makes smart passes, while also using her strength to create space on drives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
