A player who can be effective both on and off the ball, she is at her best as a driver and continues to develop as a perimeter shooter. She does a great job leaking out and finding scoring opportunities in transition. Her effort on the defensive end stands out as well, seems like she's always in position to make plays. <em>(Featured Image)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899582"],"_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-69f50b7662e38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sniper from deep, known for her sharpshooting ability, Parker Anne contributed 3.6 points per game for the Lady Indians one of the better teams in the 10th Region that won 20 games on the season. With the team losing its top scorer to graduation, expect her to take on a bigger role and see increased opportunities as a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881179"],"_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-69f50b7662ec1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another 2029 prospect on the rise out of the Louisville area is [player_tooltip player_id='881179' first='LaNayjah' last='O'Bannon']. A guard with nice size and athleticism, she averaged 9.4 points and 3.6 rebounds per game for Central. She can score in a variety of ways, rebounds well for her position, and is a willing defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1277548"],"_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-69f50b7662f43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paintsville put together one of its best seasons in recent years, finishing 23–11. Freshman guard [player_tooltip player_id='1277548' first='McKinley' last='Ramey'] was a key player for the Lady Tigers, averaging 9.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. A heady guard who handles the ball well and can set up the offense. She's a good spot-up shooter from three and does a great job turning defense into points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903381"],"_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-69f50b7662fbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">E'Maria helped lead Lafayette to a 21-win season and an appearance in the 43rd District Championship game. She earned All-Region Honorable Mention while averaging 9.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. An athletic guard/wing with long arms, she excels at getting to the basket, uses her speed well to score in transition and does the defensive stuff that makes her valuable on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
