Freshman Showcase: Breaking Down Team 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After watching the freshmen give me one of the best<strong> 3 on 3 </strong>performances as a group since PGH implemented this into the system, I was geeked, pumped, and amped at seeing players not only compete but <strong>THINK THE GAME</strong>, so I'm dropping Tip Sheets on teams 1 and 2, maybe one more 3 on 3 segment, then jumping into the sophomore evals, so here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215536"],"_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-6aaa7f56a2364"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keene impressed my colleague<strong> Nicole Douglas</strong> in the<strong> 3-on-3</strong>, yet the numerous<strong> Tip Sheets</strong> I've dropped on her over the past couple of years have set the stage; <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/mikayla-keene/">see evaluations here</a>.</em></strong> I enjoyed seeing her elevate her game.
