We had a good group of Tennessee girls ascend to the “Cream City,” looking to show the Midwest what ball is like down here in the south. The event delivered as there were coaches, loads of signage and marketability from current student-athletes, and content galore as girls were put on a stage that showcased their talents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of talent, there was a lot in the building. Games were close, and teams had to adjust not only to one another but also to the game's pace. Every court featured high-quality teams and solid refs, making this event and league worth following. What I loved most about this event was the quality of play in each head-to-head matchup. I know I personally only focus on our state, but other states as well, that brought i ast there were a lot of games that were dogfights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few young ladies from our state who got after it at the New Balance event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155021"],"_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-69e662cc8ae7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Silky smooth, she was a downhill threat as she got to the rim with ease. She weaved in and out of defenders on her way to the cup. It was tough to contain her and the teams through double- and triple-teams at her, and she still delivered. She made timely passes and was a lockdown defender on the defensive end. Keep your eyes on this young lady as she is going to be a hot commodity down the stretch.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039130"],"_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-69e662cc8aee0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is really shifty and drops dimes like no other. She was threading the needle, making bounce passes that led to easy buckets. She got many paint touches, finishing at the rim or drawing a double team and kicking out to a spot-up shooter. She was solid defensively, getting steals and contributing on the boards. She made sure people knew about her game. She impacted her team's play not only in the scoring column but also in other ways. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["981285"],"_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-69e662cc8af27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solid PG who brought it at the event. This heady PG was on her game, making buckets and dishing timely assists. She's a solid defender who disrupts a team's offense. Multiple times during the tournament, she created chaos that led to easy buckets for her team. She's been in the lab; her confidence is there. You can tell how she operates and runs an offense. This kid is special and will be a solid addition to a program at the next level.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["813470"],"_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-69e662cc8af69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid just has an all-around game. She has the “it” factor that draws people in. She is a heady ballplayer who is a top-notch defender. She makes plays, pure and simple, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the ball for her club. Her offensive game continues to grow as she can dial it up from deep and get to the rim. She plays selfless basketball, making the right reads that lead to advantageous shots for herself or teammates. Coaches are calling, and this young lady will be a nice addition to any program.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1241809"],"_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-69e662cc8afa7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A kid who continues to grow in each outing. She has impacted her ballclub by being versatile. She can score on the inside but also knock down the 3-ball along the arc. She's solid on the boards and knows how to utilize her body to her advantage. In the pick n'roll game, she's nice as she can finish multiple ways. Coaches have taken an interest in her game, and she is one to watch as the season rolls on.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
