With all the high-pressure, in-your-face defense that is played, she finds a way to dictate the game's pace. If a defender crowded her, she could still set up a play for her team. She can also catch a defender off guard with a quick first step towards the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The way she sets herself up to score feels effortless. She got to the basket numerous times in the tourney.

On day three of the tournament, she created several different ways to get to manuever and get a shot at the basket. She scored off a shoulder fake at the start of one game. Later in the same game, she got a defender in the air with a pump fake and created a shot. She is a crafty scorer, and has solid playmaking to go with. If someone is open, she will find them.</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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Caylin Hale ","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cumberland County","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-6851b5b4ca6f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> Caylin Hale was showing off her jumper.

The opposing competition was stout. So, chances to score did not just happen; they had to be created. Mason helped her team in doing this. She created open shots off the dribble a few times. As well as getting a few good looks from the field,, solely from the quick release of her jump shot. Mason was solid at finding her teammates when they were open too.</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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Alyssa 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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Franklin Christian Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-6851b5b4ca811"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alyssa Williams was one of the best defenders in the tournament. She made her opponents job of getting the ball past half court a difficult one. Williams did this regularly in a game against the 931 Dream Team. She blocked off passing lanes with her positioning, and when guarding straight up one on one, she did not let her opponent get past her. Williams also had a couple of steals in the contest, coming directly from her relentless aggro defensive style.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In displaying her defensive game, she introduced her offensive bag in the process. Harrison on offense can finish around the basket well, and is a capable shooter from behind the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
