She is at her best offensively at a player when she is attacking downhill. From there, she can get past defenders with her strength for scoring opportunities, or she can go to a midrange jumper she hit on occasion last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mut defensively has the versatility to defend on the perimeter and in the interior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155078"],"_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-6a8b5480796ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1155078' first='Taleah' last='Patterson'] is a high-level guard who can log stats in multiple different categories every time she takes the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Patterson, first off, is an impressive perimeter defender. With her hand-eye coordination and overall defensive skills, she is able to generate multiple steals in games consistently. Last season against Kenwood High School, she had seven steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In that same game, Patterson also had 24 points and showed off her unselfishness by dishing out four assists. As a scorer, Patterson can make 3-pointers, but is especially talented in attacking the basket. Patterson is able to convert layups with tough angles and through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["907616"],"_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-6a8b54807978a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='907616' first='Xavionna' last='Farmer'] is a dynamic scorer who is capable of being the best offensive player in every game she plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Farmer, in her junior season, had many standout offensive performances. She had multiple games where she scored 20 or more points, including a 22-point outing she had against Maplewood High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Farmer is a crafty scorer at the basket, while also being able to knock down perimeter shots. In a game last season against Greenbrier High School, she made four 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1859610"],"_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-6a8b54807980e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1859610' first='Kendall' last='King'], in just her sophomore season, established herself as one of the better scorers at White House-Heritage High School</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King in 30 games last season averaged 8.6 PPG. She is mainly a threat beyond the arc with her 3-point shot. She is not afraid to step up and take a perimeter shot, and that confidence often leads to her making an impact in games with her jumper. Last season, one of her best games in shooting beyond the arc came against Christian Community High School, where she made five 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King is also an above-average steal threat at the SG position. She also improved as a playmaker as the season went on. In her second-to-last game of the 2025-2026 season against Westmoreland High School, King had five assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1899647,"_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-6a8b548079891"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Going into her junior season, [player_tooltip player_id='1899647' first='Gabbie' last='Reich'] could be leaned on in a big way in Station Camp's offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reich is an extremely good jump shooter. Her left-handed shot has a high arc and great rhythm. Reich is also notably able to keep composure and make shots through defenders' closeouts and contests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
