Lady Notes Week 5- Mountain Ridge/Skyridge 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mountain Ridge Sentinels were slated to take on the Skyridge Falcons in a preseason varsity matchup hosted by the lady notes on Oct. 10th. However, the Sentinels appeared to have been a fill in team made up of Mountain Ridge and Park City players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This still led to an exciting match up and here are the standout players from this Saturday's game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1675250"],"_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-6acd083c6ebea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The most dominant player for the Sentinels in this match up, Marshall's ability to play all five positions for her team made her an offensive force. Her ability to catch on the perimeter and get downhill on defenders and into the paint put pressure on the Falcons defense the entire game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She also has a well-developed bag of secondary post moves she showed off, catching inside and moving under and around her match up in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1935442"],"_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-6acd083c6ec31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Murry is a player to keep your eye on this season. A three-point threat, she came cleanly off of her teammate's screens on the perimeter into a dribble pickup shot making multiple threes this game. She ran the point confidently and controlled the pace of her team well, as they got deeper into the game with no subs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As she develops this season look for her to become a larger scoring threat as she gains both the confidence, and the mentality to look for her own shot as well as her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261816"],"_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-6acd083c6ec56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson was the biggest defensive presence for the Sentinels, using her length and height to tip passes and shots and cause turnovers. She has a solid shooting form on the perimeter and reads her open opportunities to shoot well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1875459"],"_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-6acd083c6ec77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A shifty point guard, Clyde's tenacious defense and high pressure on the opposing teams' guards led to multiple transition points for the Falcons. She sees the court very well for her size and had a number of assists off a drive and kick rotation to start the Falcons offensive movement. She also recognizes her own shot well and hit a number of threes with a quick catch and shoot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Even without the ball, Clyde's presence helped move her team offensively. She directed her teammates into better scoring positions and was constantly setting screens off ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["875188"],"_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-6acd083c6ec98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chiara is a great driver. She clearly wants contact in the paint and drives from the perimeter into her defender well. In transition, she takes off! She pushed the pace of the game for the Falcons using her length and speed to finish out of her teammates transition passes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a set offense, she passed around defenders into the paint well. Her passes led teammates into shooting position, and her own ability to knock down open threes made her tough to guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1827628"],"_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-6acd083c6ecb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nelson did a good job of moving through the paint without the ball and cutting back door on less experienced defenders. She also demonstrated her ability to shoot over taller defenders with a set of back to back floaters in the first half.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> In the second half, she showed off her passing ability, throwing a pass that split two defenders as they switched a screen and hit the roller in her hand to lead her teammate into and open layup inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although both teams had great players, the Falcons took this game. Their ability to run lanes and push the ball in transition helped them get an early lead. They pushed the lead going into the second half of the game by continuing high guard pressure on defense to push the Sentinels onto their heels. Even though Mountain Ridge had no subs or bench they hit a number of threes to keep themselves competitive and in the game. the final score was 54-40 a win for the Falcons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
