With that, here are five players in Region 4-2A to watch out for in the upcoming 20262-2027 school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["646514"],"_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-6a6c12d915350"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='646514' first='Kallie' last='Marsh'], in her sophomore season, established herself as one of her team's higher-impact players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marsh, as a PF, has a good interior game on offense and defense. Defensively, she is a tough rebounder. She is good at setting up for a rebound and grabbing the ball at its highest point while also being able to keep it away from defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On offense, Marsh is a difficult player to guard if she gets deep post position on the right side. From there, she often uses her pivot foot to slip for a layup or to go into a hook shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1836274"],"_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-6a6c12d915396"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1836274' first='Lucy' last='Richardson'] as an SF is a Swiss Army knife of a defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Richardson can play both on the perimeter and on the interior on defense. In her junior season, she showed she was more than capable of doing that. She had multiple games with three or more blocks and multiple games with three or more steals. Her speed paired with solid height on the wing, as well as overall IQ, plays into her ability to do the following.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Richardason is also a wing player who can grab a high amount of rebounds in games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["792318"],"_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-6a6c12d9153d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='792318' first='Raigan' last='Wiggins'] could close out her high school career with a big senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wiggins brings a winning skillset to the table as a wing. First off, she can defend with the best of them. Wiggins, at 5'10", is incredibly light on her feet. She can make sharp cuts and stick with positions 1-4 on the floor most of the time. In a game last season against Lipscomb Academy, her defensive versatility was showcased. In the contest, she had two steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wiggins also has solid driving ability on offense. She also has good mechanics on her jumper: high arc and a quick overall shooting motion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822474"],"_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-6a6c12d915406"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='822474' first='Valencia' last='Hailey'] showcased that she is a powerful driver in her sophomore season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hailey, with the combination of her under-control dribbling skills along with her strength, can move opposing backline defenders off their spot and give her room for an open layup. She did this time and time again last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hailey is also an elite rebounder for a guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155012"],"_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-6a6c12d915439"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With all the talented players that Pearl Cohn High School had last year, [player_tooltip player_id='1155012' first='Myah' last='Knowles'], as one of their primary initiators on offense, was key in getting the most out of the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Knowles is one of the speedier players on the dribble and overall in the Class of 2A. Her ability to slow-walk the ball up the court and then snap into a complex dribble combination can open up the floor consistently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the space she creates, Knowles is a great passer and a great attacker of the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
