<p class="text-gray-700">Chloe has been flying under the radar playing at a smaller school, but her talent is starting to get noticed. She's continued to improve her game and could very well be one of the more improved players in Arizona this upcoming season. Definitely a player to watch.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Combs had a strong summer and showed she deserves more minutes for the Tigers. The senior wing is a valuable two-way player who can impact games on both ends of the floor. With more opportunities this season, look for her to show more of what she brings to the table.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Shirley took some time to adjust after transferring to O'Connor last season, but she looks much more comfortable heading into her senior year. Her improved leadership and experience should earn her more minutes. She's the type of player who doesn't need to score to make an impact.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Van Heel is another player who has flown under the radar but is starting to get noticed. The multi-sport athlete had a very good summer, showing her versatility as both a scorer and passer. She's definitely a player on the rise who should continue turning heads this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jones is an athletic, high-energy wing who should benefit from increased minutes this season at Bella Vista. Her offensive game has continued to improve, and with more opportunities, I expect her to show just how much her overall game has grown.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Medina has always been a solid leader and distributor at point guard, but her offense is coming along nicely. The senior guard's improved scoring should complement her passing and leadership, making her an even more complete player this season.</p>
