Minot maintains a quality core of athletes and Ava is going to be right in the mix for varsity minutes. She plays tenacious defense and is one of the better on-ball defenders I have watched play. She puts pressure on the offense and defends without fouling, making it difficult for opponents to get into their offense. She plays off of two feet in the lane, limiting turnovers and making great decisions. She can stretch the floor like her sister and knock down the three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312747"],"_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-6ac7a11d895aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thorton is another fantastic talent for the Century Patriots and already holds a handful of division one basketball scholarship offers. Her athleticism is elite and what stands out most to college coaches. She can play at a high level because of her speed, quick change of speed and direction, and jumping ability. She is an excellent size for a college guard, standing at a lengthy 5'11. Kinley can defend just as well as she can score the ball. She is one of the top three-point shooters in the WDA and one of Century's best rebounders. The All-WDA selection from last season is one of the premiere players in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1052506"],"_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-6ac7a11d895cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jurnee is a fantastic point guard who makes everyone around her better. She can put pressure on defenses in multiple ways with her scoring and passing ability. She is a deadly threat from three, a tough driver to the basket, and an exceptional passer. She shoots the three with a really nice lift and follow-through. If she is driving and gets cut off by a secondary defender, she can pull out a nice floater from her toolbox and score in that fashion. She finds her open teamamtes for easy looks and doesn't turn the ball over often. Lastly, Wehrman is a terrific on-ball defender. She creates turnovers just by the pressure she applies when defending.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246815"],"_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-6ac7a11d895e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">College coaches have asked me about Macey and here is what I tell them: she is a stud. She is another top three-point shooter from the WDA in this list but can also take defenders off of the bounce. She has a good first-step and great body control when driving to the hoop. Macey is very physically strong for a guard and I can tell she takes the weight room seriously. It was a lot of fun to watch Macey compete in person this summer. She lived up to the hype and was even better than advertised. Macey will be in consideration for an All-State selection sooner rather than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312751"],"_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-6ac7a11d89607"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beach finished last season with about a 500. record but pushed District 7 to its limit come postseason. Beach made it to the Region qualifying round before being bounced out. Mila was a huge key to their success and is only going to get better. She plays nearly the entire game which shows her great stamina. She is a very patient play who lets the game come to her. She doesn't get sped up against pressure and she doesn't take bad shots. She has a smooth shooting stroke and a soft touch on her jump-shot. I am looking forward to seeing Mila take the next step in 26-27.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1829271"],"_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-6ac7a11d89623"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">River fits in great with Central McLean's uptemp pace of play. The Cougars love to press and push the pace which translates to a ton of quick shots and possessions. River is able to play with toughness, speed, and vision when playing in the press which results in a ton of turnovers and easy baskets for her team. She is good at doing the 'run-and-jump' man-to-man press where a secondary defender leaves their girl to come and trap the ball while everyone else gets into intercept mode. Her effort in keeping space on offense and playing hard-nosed defense has Central McLean coming into the season with high expectations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1124638"],"_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-6ac7a11d8963e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jada has a lot of potential as a college recruit and has the genes to go along with that potential. Her mom was just inducted into the NDSU hall of fame for her outstanding college career. Jada is a smooth player with her movements and finds a way to get to the basket. She is really difficult to stop once she gets going to her left. She has good touch on her floaters and continues to improve her strength to finish through contact and get to the free-throw line. She is another guard who isn't afraid to step out and knock down the three. Johnson already has an All-EDC nod last year as a freshmen and is only going to get better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
