some great height and strength that she uses in the paint to grab rebounds, and she has some nice power dribbles to get into position to score her points.  She was tough making baskets through contact even earning some old fashioned three point play opportunities.  She even took the ball coast to coast after grabbing the rebound showing her quick ball handling and ability to push the tempo.</p>

always get her hands on the ball preventing her opponents from getting their offensive plays going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

the drive.  She even handled things on the block protecting the basket using her strength.  She made strong cuts scoring off the pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--
