New Faces Making Early MIAA Impact

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The MIAA is arguably one of the strongest conferences in Maryland, both academically and athletically. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pallotti, lost a bigh to V. Tech and Indian Creek lost a guard to UMD. Pallotti, a top tier program in the A-bracket is looking to make it back to the finals. Indian Creek, a top tier program in the B-bracket is looking to defend their regular season title and fourth quarter collapse in the quarter finals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To do so, recruiting must happen. Both programs reloaded with talent that has already stated their claim amongst their respective programs. With the much needed additions...Look for both programs to finish in the season in their bracketed finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">St. Vincent Pallotti @ Laurel, MD</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1852682"],"_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-6ab2186b131f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia has came into the Pallotti family and quickly proved her role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I became a fan of Meyers after watching her play during Pallotti's open run. I asked a parent who she was and he simply said "our new shooter". </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saturday, during 695 Fall League. Olivia's green light range was on full display and showed signs of what's to come during the regular season, putting up five quick points and had potential to have 15 with a bit more timing to get her shot off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look for Olivia to be that consistent outside threat Pallotti will need to make another championship run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306097"],"_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-6ab2186b13256"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Almonte, will be Pallotti's secret weapon once she is accustomed to the speed of high school ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The potential to be a solid two-way player for Pallotti is there. She is fast enough to defend 1-3 and she can handle the ball with confidence. Then came the third quarter in Saturday's fall league game where Julissa caught on fire and went 3 of 5 from deep, finishing with 11 points for the quarter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1557644"],"_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-6ab2186b132a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Audrey brings an edge to the Panthers.

She took over the fourth quarter Saturday. Scoring 13 points on 70% shooting. Her ability to create was evident as all her fourth quarter points were within the mid range or layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Audrey also brings another scorer that will help the Panthers title run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Indian Creek @ Crownsville, MD</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1835281"],"_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-6ab2186b132e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alaysia is a strong pick up for Indian Creek.

She can use her strength to get to the basket or pull up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensively, her athleticism stands out. She jumped the passing lane multiple times during their press. Once defending in the half court setting she was able to stay in front her opponent and bang in the paint for boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1893100"],"_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-6ab2186b13329"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ms. Evans has a good chance of becoming Indian Creek's best on ball defender by seasons end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her play thus far has not gone unnoticed. In two games of fall league play Evans has been the first player off the bench as she is slowing marking her role for the Eagles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She is a spark of energy, who is willing to defend the ball. Within two fall league games.

She can play a multitude of positions but is best behind the arc, where she can quickly catch on fire. This will spread the court for Indian's Creek other wing player(s).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Her smart physical play has shown true during their full court press.
