Her relentless energy and determination make her a constant presence on both ends of the floor—she chases down loose balls, crashes the boards, and never gives up on a play, no matter the situation. That same intensity translates to her offensive game, where she's a reliable knockdown shooter who can stretch the floor and deliver in key moments. Royal's combination of grit and skill makes her the kind of player every team needs—dependable, fearless, and always ready to make a winning play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231276"],"_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-681965666c237"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mekelle is a strong two-way player who brings impact and balance to both ends of the court. Defensively, she's quick and alert, using her instincts and active hands to rack up steals and disrupt opposing offenses. She reads passing lanes well and turns defense into fast-break opportunities. On the offensive end, Mekelle is a confident three-point shooter who can stretch the floor and hit shots in rhythm, making her a valuable threat from beyond the arc. Her ability to contribute on both sides of the ball makes her a dependable and versatile asset to her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903404"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1243365,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-681965666c2ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mckenzie was hands down the best shooter in the gym at the Peach Games tournament, putting on an absolute clinic with her lights-out shooting. She knocked down shot after shot with impressive consistency, quickly becoming a problem for every defense she faced. What makes her shooting even more dangerous is her ability to move without the ball—she constantly finds open space, slips through screens, and positions herself perfectly to get clean looks. Her off-ball movement and sharp shooting instincts work hand-in-hand, making her one of the most lethal perimeter threats on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1243366,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"London Williams","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pleasant Grove","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"All Alabama","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681965666c35f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">London is a crafty, shifty guard who put on a show throughout the tournament, breaking down defenders with ease. Her elite ball-handling made it nearly impossible for opponents to stay in front of her, as she used quick crossovers, hesitation moves, and sharp changes of pace to create separation. Time and time again, she turned defenders around and got into the lane, where she either finished with finesse or created easy scoring opportunities. London's control and creativity with the ball made her one of the most exciting and effective playmakers on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231817"],"_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-681965666c3c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kquiajah showcased her high defensive IQ throughout the tournament, especially with her sharp awareness in rotation.
