Not only do they have game-changers, but solid pieces that help push their teams over the top. Throughout the year, you could see the maturation process of this class and how they helped elevate their teams to another level. They played fearlessly, toughly, and strongly, and just competed from the beginning to the end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The small forward in this class did work. Young ladies who just got after it and fulfilled their duties by just getting the job done. Whether it was from the inside or out, they suited up and went to work. The small forwards from the 27 rankings are just jumping onto the scene. However, their style of play contributed a mighty way to their team's success early on. Look for this particular position to be one of the most effective ones in a few years. They have the versatility to do multiple things that will impact their ball club</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few 27 small forwards who do work in a big-time way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821709"],"_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-682dfdc624bf1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skilled. Two words that come to mind when talking about this young lady. She plays the game of basketball with relentless effort. In doing so, she finds herself in favorable spots to contribute to her team. It doesn't matter what end of the floor she is on, she is going to be in the mix or around the play. Offensively, she can score from all 3 levels. She isn't afraid of contact, so expect her to go up strong in the painted area. Defensively, she is going to lock up her opponent and grab rebounds. There were several games this past season where she hit the double-double mark. This kid is athletic, and her style of play elevates those around her.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["907580"],"_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-682dfdc624c4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fun and energetic, this athletic kid is a pest on the basketball floor. She can play multiple spots offensively, creating favorable matchups to exploit. Using her explosiveness, she can get downhill and attack the painted area. Has a nice jumper in her arsenal that she will pull out at a moment's notice. Defensively, she is a beast. Causing havoc and giving opponents fits. This kid is a solid two-way player whose game continues to grow every time she steps onto the floor. Keeps tabs on this young lady as she gets better and better.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1133757"],"_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-682dfdc624c96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is a saying that O is the show, D is the key. Well, she has a certain type of explosiveness on both ends of the floor. Her game comes with a lot of speed, and that speed creates chaos no matter where she is on the floor. Everything about her speaks speed. She has quick hands and feet, allowing her to rebound the basketball, get steals and deflections, and then gain possession and go the other way. When she is on the offensive end, she can attack from wherever she is, going strong to the hole. This kid is one of the next Southside impact players. Look for her to help continue the tradition and ignite her ball club on their journey back to state contention.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821721"],"_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-682dfdc624cdc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming into her own, this kid is growing in her game. Confident in her abilities, she is going to give you all she has and this one. She has a shooter's touch, and it is on display every game as she can score it from multiple levels. Add in her ability to contribute in other phases of the game, you come away with one tough kid who gets after it when she is on the floor. She's a threat when she is on the floor. So you have to keep tabs on where she is. She isn't a finished product by any means, but she is one who makes a big impact for her ball club.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821857"],"_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-682dfdc624d22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A solid ball player whose game is growing in each outing. Playing with such confidence, when she is on, she is on. She has a high gear and kicks it up a notch when the lights come on. Has a nice release from afar, where the ball seems to find the bottom of the net at a consistent clip. She uses her quick first step to get to the lane. Defensively, she is active, getting steals, loose balls, rebounds, which all equate to easy transition buckets. This kid is solid, and she plays hard on both ends of the floor.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
