<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lebanon, Tennessee, was cooking up talent yesterday across the state. The Expo was in full effect as girls from near and far ascended to the city to showcase their talent. I am definitely biased when it comes to talent in our state; however, the quality of our basketball is definitely on the upswing.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a setting like this, you can see how players adapt to certain situations. From being thrown into a 3v3 event, where you don't know your teammates that well, to playing a 5v5 game, you truly have to lean on your knowledge of understanding both pace and space. You could see who wanted the smoke early, as well as those who it took a minute to get their feel for the event. Either way, some impressive kids came out to showcase who they were and what their game is all about.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This event has truly become a must for those in the state. Not only to raise their stock, but also to see how they measure up against talent from different districts, divisions, and cities. At the end of the day, ball is ball, just go out there to have fun and compete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some young ladies who were out there doing their thing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["909030"],"_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-68daa5a815d35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young lady is on a mission, and she is staking her claim as one of the top 27s in her class. She is a scoring PG who has a knack for putting the ball in the hoop. No matter where she is on the floor, she can dial it up or get to the rim with ease. You saw her fearlessness multiple times yesterday, as she would take it to the rack and challenge taller defenders. She is a hustler, a solid two-way player, someone who has her ballclub thinking state contention. Look for her to have a sensational season where she sets records along the way.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1039473"],"_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-68daa5a815dc9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more polished 29s who is ready to take the league by storm. She is a heady ballplayer who, whenever the ball is in her hands, magic happens. I love her court vision, her ability to read and react to a situation, and exploit it. Countless times, she was able to dime up a teammate or go to work herself. She's ready to keep the winning tradition going down in Loretto. They are getting a bright star down there who will shine brightly for years to come.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["776113"],"_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-68daa5a815e42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is going to be a breakthrough season for her, and she is showing everyone why. This kid can fill it up from multiple spots on the floor, and you could just see how comfortable she was as she did so. From putting it on the floor to dialing it up from deep, she was in her bag as she went to town and showed everyone that she is at the top of her class. This season at FRA, look for her to make significant contributions in multiple phases of the game. They are thinking lofty goals at FRA. The Lady Panthers are built to go deep in the tournament, especially with this young lady in the fold.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["957805"],"_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-68daa5a815ebb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">People shouldn't sleep on this young lady, because she is about to be a problem for many people this upcoming year. A monster. Put it that way. Her ability to exploit the mid-range, stretch the floor beyond the arc, and take it to the rim is crazy good. She was doing just that yesterday, showcasing her game with ease. She's been putting in work this offseason, and you can just tell in how she moves with and without the ball. She is a heady ballplayer who has big-time aspirations. Look for her to be an essential piece of the Lady Panthers' attack, which is looking to go deep in the tournament.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["518128"],"_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-68daa5a815f2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shifty guard who is a nice floor general. She can score on all three levels, but what I like about her is her ability to assess the defense and attack it with aggression. She broke down her girl a couple of times, leading to shot advantages for herself. She distributed the ball nicely, which led to scoring opportunities. I liked her ability to get down and defend, slowing down the opposition. Se plays for a stingy White Co. ball club that is always looking to go deep in the tournament. Look for her to be one of the main focal points in Sparta as this club competes on the hardwood this upcoming season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
