A natural offensive threat, Wurtz has developed into one of the most reliable scorers in the Clifton-Clyde lineup, combining craft, confidence, and a scorer's mentality to impact games at every level of the floor. She excels in transition, often pushing the tempo and converting defense into quick offense. In the halfcourt, Wurtz showcases a balanced offensive arsenal — she's capable of knocking down the three, pulling up in the midrange, and finishing creatively through contact at the rim. Her shooting form is compact and repeatable, and she doesn't hesitate to take big shots in key moments, showing clear signs of a clutch gene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["634243"],"_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-6847211709942"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='634243' first='Arika' last='Feldman'] is an efficient scorer. She is a dependable offensive weapon; Feldman consistently finds ways to impact the scoreboard without forcing the game. She's a skilled shot-maker who thrives in structured sets and transition opportunities. Feldman is especially effective pulling up from midrange and beyond the arc. She understands how to work off the ball, coming off screens, or relocating to create open looks. Her off-ball movement and shot readiness make her a natural fit in motion-heavy offenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[621267],"_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-684721170998b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1047961' first='Emmy' last='Kirk'] is a high-volume scorer with a fearless mindset and a natural ability to put points on the board. As the offensive engine for Bucklin, Kirk has earned a reputation as a player who can take over a game with her scoring, whether from deep, in transition, or attacking the rim. Kirk's offensive game is built around confidence and aggression. She's a strong three-point shooter who isn't afraid to let it fly from well beyond the arc, often forcing defenses to extend far past their comfort zone. Her quick release and deep shooting range make her a constant threat to score at any moment. When defenders close out too hard, she doesn't hesitate to attack the lane, using a quick first step and a fearless approach to finish through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1047959"],"_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-68472117099df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1047959' first='Madelyn' last='Kraus'] is a versatile and efficient scorer who consistently finds ways to score for Western Plains. Whether she's hitting threes, attacking off the dribble, or finishing through contact in the paint, Kraus brings a complete scoring package to the floor. Kraus plays with great quiet confidence and composure, often leading her team's offensive effort without needing the spotlight. Her scoring ability and her basketball IQ give her the tools to be a reliable offensive contributor at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["621259"],"_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-6847211709a26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='621259' first='Layla' last='Kisner'] is a natural scorer with smoothness, confidence in her game and a relentless mindset.
