She averaged 12.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.1 steals per game, showing her ability to contribute across the board. Southards plays with confidence and poise, capable of knocking down perimeter shots while also creating off the bounce. What stands out is her feel—she doesn't force the game and understands how to balance scoring with her physical playmaking. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901021"],"_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-69cfb0974678e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Averaged 11.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.2 steals per game, leading her team offensively while still impacting other areas. Waller is a confident three-level scorer who can create her own shot and capitalize in transition. She plays aggressively and isn't afraid of big moments, using her athleticism to get downhill and finish. Her ability to score while still contributing as a rebounder and defender makes her a well-rounded threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876798"],"_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-69cfb09746816"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brings versatility and steady production to Elbert County's backcourt, impacting the game in multiple ways. She fills the stat sheet. Lunsford plays with a high motor and good instincts, attacking when opportunities are there while also facilitating for teammates. Defensively, she's active and disruptive, turning steals into transition opportunities. Her balanced production and effort on both ends make her a reliable contributor every night.</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":"Deanna Lowther","_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":"5'10u0022","_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":"East Laurens","_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-69cfb097468f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Provides a strong, consistent presence in the frontcourt for East Laurens, anchoring the team with her production and experience. She averaged 13 points, 13.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 4.1 steals and 1.4 blocks. Lowther does her best work around the basket, finishing through contact and controlling the glass, but also shows the ability to step out and make plays when needed. Defensively, she protects the rim and holds her ground in the paint. Her physicality and consistency make her a dependable force inside with an incredibly efficient touch around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["968357"],"_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-69cfb09746950"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Averaged 18 points and 10.1 rebounds establishing herself as a true interior presence. Foster impacts the game with her size and activity—finishing efficiently around the rim, rebounding at a high rate and protecting the basket defensively. She plays with good energy and instincts, and as her offensive skill set continues to expand, her ceiling continues to rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
