She is a guard who can impact the game in a variety of ways, whether it's scoring in bunches, rebounding, or making plays on the defensive end. She put together a big weekend at the PGH Great Lakes Region Finals, and recently picked up a dual-offer to play both basketball and flag football at Midway University. Kenzi is a 2027 prospect worth keeping an eye on this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743675"],"_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-6a1f91b6990f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sara was a key player for Morgan County during the high school season, averaging 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. A good-sized guard, she can shoot the ball well from beyond the arc while also putting it on the floor and scoring inside. Sara is a smart player who understands how to be effective on both ends of the floor. She plays within the flow of the game, makes good decisions, and contributes in a lot of ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["883494"],"_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-6a1fad3a39a01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackie averaged 5.2 points and 4.7 rebounds per game during her junior season at North Hardin. At 5-foot-11, she possesses good size and versatility. Jackie can space the floor as a spot-up shooter while also scoring in the paint. Her size and length serve her well as a rebounder. A late-blooming prospect, she has steadily elevated her game each year and continues to trend in the right direction heading into her senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248675"],"_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-6a1f91b699113"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shayna is a heady guard who brings consistent energy and effort every time she steps on the floor. She handles the ball well, does a good job setting up the offense, and plays with a high motor throughout the game. Shayna is more of a driver than a shooter, using her speed and quickness to get past defenders and attack the basket. Defensively, she takes pride in her ability to guard, applying immense ball pressure and being disruptive.

She has good size and length, and her frame has filled out. Leah runs the floor hard in transition and her ability to score through contact around the basket. She also makes an effort on the glass and takes advantage of her opportunities at the free-throw line. A glue player who doesn't mind doing the little things or sacrificing for the betterment of the team. Leah could see more minutes in her senior season for GRC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
