The team as a whole went 17-6, winning most of the games that they should have won while Reynolds led the way on the offensive end. She is a player that likes to let the deep ball go from three point land at a high rate. That is her go-to but if she is overplayed she can put the rock on the floor and get an open look from two point territory as well. We should expect to see Reynolds back in charge once again this season. She set the foundation last year and now it's time to build on that this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["923921"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab44a733d507"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alisa Pins is going to look to help her Urbandale High School program turn around their luck from the last couple of seasons. There will be some new blood in the lineup and Pins will look to lead the way for those younger individuals. We have witnessed Pins on both the high school court and on the road during AAU season. Whoever is put in front of her, she does a good job of keeping in check. It doesn't matter if that's in the state of Iowa or on the road. She has demonstrated over the years that she is dedicated to this sport and she is going to be looking to go out on a high note over the next eight months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696803"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab44a733d556"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have no doubts that Kingslee Thomas is going to take over at Waterloo West this Winter as their main producer Thomas has shown in years past that she has a lot of promise within this sport. She has that natural size at 5'10 thats better than average, she has a soft touch on the ball, coordinated footwork, good balance, an act for getting her hands on the ball defensively in the middle of the lane, and she plays with a chip on her shoulder attitude. We saw Thomas start to flourish last Winter but I think this season she is going to make a statement before taking her talents to the next level to NIACC with HC Brad Vaught &amp; Company. (One of the best coaching staffs that the Midwest has to offer.)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":" Ann Wessel","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Denison-Schleswig","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab44a733d5e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It wouldn't be crazy to say that Ann Wessel is going to return and lead <a href="https://www.gobound.com/direct/schools/A5DDF816-FDFA-4858-9B4E-426C2799ABED/Show">Denison-Schleswig</a> High School over the next eight months as a Senior. The lightning quick SG made her mark last Winter on the offensive end as their main threat as a shooter. She took 185 total shots on the season on the offensive end and 115 of those were from deep. She showed up each game, chipping in with an assists or rebound here and there but her main focus was scoring the ball so that her team could keep up with their opponents. I'm not sure that will be the exact situation this Winter but it wouldn't shock me if Wessel returns as their dominate leader. She has been a Captain for this group in the past and that should be the case again but we will have to wait and see.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1896980"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab44a733d62a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We had a chance earlier this Fall to highlight Evie Davis of Webster City High School and here she is again. Davis brings something to the floor that most others do not and that is height standing between 6'1 and 6'2. This height lets her destroy her competition near the bucket a majority of the time. We haven't had the chance to see Davis against any other big powerhouse Post prospects yet. Every time she competes against someone near her height, they cannot keep up with her and that speaks to how well she can move down the court so it'll be interesting to see what else she can put together down the line but for now - this is definitely someone to note as we move into this Winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
