Early Morning Shooters Open Up-The Shootout Dallas

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the 20-plus years of coaching and evaluating girls' basketball games, those<strong> 8 am</strong> games have been sort of all over the place because you never know what you're going to get. Well, this time around, it was different for me as the mid to long-range was being dropped all over the place as I floated, yes floated, on the variety of courts, I made it to each of the <strong>8</strong>, to catch some action, and these young ladies helped get my adrenaline going </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985944"],"_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-69d2f0db159cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coker is a <strong>"long and athletic"</strong> guard, which also falls into the base category, and not only I, but <strong>@playerrimedies </strong>have had a chance to see her multiple times,<a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/mackenzie-coker/"> <strong><em>see evaluations here</em></strong></a>, and what I see is her attacking and finishing stronger after contact, yet her shooting sets the stage.
