Kansas Clash: 14U All Stars

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 12 All-Stars in the 14U class who outperformed during The Kansas Clash event last weekend showed a mix of girls who displayed hustle, grit, and determination. I was impressed with their commitment to the defensive end as well as some of their offensive talent. A few of them came up clutch in the waning moments of their games to edge out single-digit victories for their squad. Others showed a unique ability to commit to their help defensive scheme and cause significant disruption for opponents on the other side of the ball. While some, just simply understood the fundamentals of the game. This list of top performers and future stars goes as follows: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1819365"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1857644,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a0773108a926"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">(#23 For [program_tooltip program_id='1715053' first='World' last='Class Sports']) "MVP" of 14U Kansas Clash, Hadley can do it all.
