Run 4 Roses: Saturday Notebook

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Several players rose to the occasion on Day 3 of the Run 4 Roses and proved to be difference-makers for their teams. Here are some of my notes and observations from Saturday's action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["967961"],"_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-6a5362c632a5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've seen a lot of players make significant strides this spring and summer, and Harper is definitely one of them. She continues to look better with each viewing. Harper was in the zone against Lady Canes Orange, knocking down a short jumper before catching fire from deep with an array of three-pointers. She also rebounded the ball well and wasn't afraid to hit the floor for loose balls. Harper finished with a team-high 20 points, helping KYP Carby cruise to victory 49-26 victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["948981"],"_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-6a5362c632ac8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jocelyn put together a productive sophomore season, so it was good to finally see her in action this summer. She has good size for her position and the ability to score from multiple levels. Jocelyn attacked the rim aggressively, earning a trip to the free-throw line, and connected on a three. She plays with confidence, wants the ball in her hands, and has the ability to create offense for herself and others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913398"],"_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-6a5362c632b18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexis was impactful on both sides of the floor. Her length caused problems in the half-court press, and she even ripped away a steal and turned defense into points the other way. She crashed the boards hard and did a good job keeping the ball high. I also liked the way she got downhill, initiated contact and got the hoop and the harm. Alexis has really added layers to her game over the years, and her continued development was evident.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743667"],"_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-6a5362c632b61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamilla made an impact as soon as she entered the game, sprinting the floor for an easy transition bucket. She was relentless on the offensive glass, pulling down several offensive rebounds and doing an excellent job of going right back up with the ball to finish strong at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743648"],"_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-6a5362c632ba7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adri made her presence felt in many ways during a back-and-forth matchup against the Long Island Renegades. She was explosive on the boards, putting her elite athleticism on full display as she grabbed rebound after rebound. Adri also showed her range from three and made a major impact on the defensive end, coming up with multiple steals as well as a thunderous block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
