<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Summit Shootout brought teams from the entire Rocky Mountain region. We were excited to see teams and players from Wyoming, New Mexico and a couple other states come to play. Check out a few of the out-of--state players who came to the CO and left their mark for the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["968109"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f444e7f0945"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was exciting to see Martinez play in CO. Don't let the height fool you, this guard is the total package. Quick is an understatment and with the handles to get around defenders in the open court and in traffic, she leaves many defenders standing still. Don't give Arianna too much space, she can come off screens and create her own shot in both the mid-range and from behind the arch for her points. On D, this guard is just as troublesome. She is getting steals, she is in the passing lanes, she is even taking charges in the paint. Martinez gets it done on both ends. Watch out for this guard in her next showing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["565813"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f444e7f09d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cordova definitely came to CO to play. She makes the game look easy with her skills and high basketball IQ. This guard sees the floor very well and is a great floor general, making sure her teammates are in the right spots to get their buckets. She can also get buckets for herself too. Ava has the ball handling to get herself to the basket and to open spots all over the floor for her points She also has range from the 3pt line, she can do it all on the offensive end. On the defensive end, she is tough, even at the listed 5'2" she is in the paint grabbing steals and even sneaky rebounds from taller post players. She has the footwork and quick hands to pick up full court and defend all the way through the possession. It will be exciting to see Ava play more in the exposure circuit season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220257"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f444e7f0a87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you're looking for a mobile center, who gets points and plays defense, look no further. Hall is everything in the paint and more. She is very mobile, with the ability to play and get buckets with her back to the basket. Her footwork is great and she is never stopped at the first shot. She can also play from the high post. She can catch and get to the hoop and hit the 15ft jumper. Mackenzie is also a great passer in her Center position. On defense, Hall is just as effective. She easily keep offense players from their paint position and does a great job in helpside and in screens. Keep on eye out for Mackenzie heating things up from the north. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["839427"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f444e7f0a2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming from New Mexico, Gianna came to play this weekend. She has so much energy on the court it is contagious to everyone on her team. Her energy starts on defense. She can pick up full court, be involved in traps, and close out to shooters, an all around defensive stopper. Plus she isnt afraid to battle in the paint for steals and boards. On offense, her energy carriers over to keep herself and her team barreling down on teams. She is fast and pushes the ball down the floor, attacking defenses aggresively. She can see her open teammates well, and also sees her own scoring opportunities. Cordova can score from 2pt range and 3pt range and also get to the paint for tough points plus the earned extra at the free throw line. This guard will continue to be exciting no matter what state she is playing in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["495914"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f444e7f0adf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This guard has the skill and the confidence to go with it. Her energy is contagious. On defense she is in a stance and giving dribblers a very hard time. She is fast closing out to shooters and fast to get in helpside, she's all over the defense end. On offense, Hall is a three level scorer. She has the handles to get past defenders easily and the toughness to finish strong at the bucket. She has all of the mid-range covered, she can finish with the floater, a jumper, she even gets to the free throw for that extra one. Involved in the big plays and doing all of the important things like diving for loose balls and cheering on her teammates, Peyton is all the keys for an exciting summer exposure season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
