a state championship run, and she's fitting right in with her new team's high tempo offense.  She runs the floor well and is constantly moving and flashing in and out of the paint to get the open look keeping her arms stretched out ready for the pass.  She can turn and shoot her jump shot from all over the paint, and she attacks the basket well scoring off the glass with ease.</p> <!--

versatile player knowing how to handle the ball attacking the basket from the top of the key, and she goes to work showing off some nice footwork to score points off the pass.  She expands the floor as well knocking down her shot from deep, and she sees the floor well hitting her teammates in stride as they cut to the basket.  She runs the floor well on both ends being ready to block shots in transition and score the bucket on fast breaks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

shy about stepping outside the perimeter and knocking down her shot from deep.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

excellent target in the paint for her guard teammates at Butler.  She seals off her opponents well making it easy for them to get a pass inside to her, and she can use these same skills to go up and grab rebounds on both ends of the court.  She deflects passes in the paint as well making sure her opponents don't have any easy points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

player who can expand the floor knocking down some big three pointers.  She isn't scared to do the tough things like diving on the floor for loose balls and drawing chargers gaining the possession for her team.  She battles on the block against anyone using power dribbles to get into position, and she knows how to use her strength to grab rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
