Team Previews- Cin. Mount Notre Dame

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top teams in Cincinnati every year is Mount Notre Dame, and that will remain true heading into this season. They have a lot of firepower coming back, along with a newcomer who is likely the top freshman in the Cincinnati area. They have moved up to Division 1 according to the OHSAA, and they have their eyes set on a long run this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Players to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["808963"],"_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-6acff9e5b2451"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reece has her future set, as she is headed to Eastern Michigan after she finishes her career at MND, and I look for her to continue to grow her game all throughout her senior season. She is an elite point guard with a skill set that makes her dangerous at both ends of the court. On the defensive end, she is a ruthless pursuer of the ball, can lock you down and force mistakes. With the ball in her hands, Reece can knock down the perimeter shot and create. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["915882"],"_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-6acffadf94bfa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She is an established upperclassman who is a solid competitor, bringing a lot to the MND team. She has multiple D1 offers and is already focused on having a big junior season and improving her game. She has great footwork in the paint and can create her own show, finish well at the rim and is a nice athletic player who can do damage anywhere on the court. Smart basketball player with a good IQ. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1241604"],"_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-6acffb99dbae2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This powerful 6'3 sophomore is a player who will make you take notice this season if you have missed her in the past. Her game has elevated over the summer and her stock has also grown. Strong physical frame, allows her to control things around the paint, good hands and can defend well. She already has great footwork and is getting better. The D1 coaches better get on board if they haven't already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1256795"],"_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-6acffc7c543e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her role last year was one of learning the varsity game and adjusting to this level of play. Now that she is a year older, I expect bigger things coming from her. Runs the floor well, smooth with the ball, Ducolon should be a big piece of the puzzle this year. Plays the game with poise, can knock down the outside shot, good penetrator and ready to take her game to the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["813145"],"_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-6acffd749e17e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">You look at this talented lineup and wonder what the ceiling is for this group. There is so much talent and Jayda is right there in the middle of it. She is another D1 prospect as she is a 6' guard with excellent ball skills, can see the floor and is a solid distributor. Her game, like the rest of them, continues to get better and watch for big things from this multi-dimensional talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1873973"],"_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-6acffe0305786"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Normally I would not even mention a freshman on a team this talented, but this is not your normal freshman. Ott is most likely the top freshman in the Cincinnati area and I expect her to contribute with this group. She's the best player on many other teams, but on this team, it's all about fitting in, and adjusting to the talent you have around you. This young lady is special.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
