<p class="text-gray-700">Not only did Clani display active hands defensively, but she also displayed the ability to make the extra pass on offense. When she got into the lane, Clani was looking to deliver a sweet, 'drop-off' pass for an easy bucket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That said, Clani was a capable scorer in her own right, especially on the fast break. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Spratley is an intriguing forward whose energy was contagious, all tournament long.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In addition to being a physical defender that had multiple blocks and steals, Spratley was also sneaky good at scoring off the bounce. There were several instances of Spratley gliding to the cup. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Etcitty demonstrated good footwork and the ability to establish good post position. This means one or two feet inside the paint area. Moreover, Etcitty ran the floor well and shielded defenders when shooting around the basket.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Calabaza is an imposing presence in the interior that welcomes contact. Furthermore, Calabaza is a tremendous rebounder. This past weekend, Calabaza did a great job of battling on the glass, as she was able to extend possessions and secure stops.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Tsosie is a skilled forward with good length and a soft touch. However, what stood out in regard to Tsosie, is that she competed on both ends of the court. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Tsosie never took a possession off and seemed to always be near the ball. </p>
