Top 50 Play – Day 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tuesday night's action in Farmington featured a strong showing from Utah's TOP 50 selections, and the talent on display didn't disappoint. The competition level was high, and several players stood out for their poise, execution, and versatility on both ends of the floor. Here's a look at the standouts who made a lasting impression — players who didn't just fill the stat sheet, but dictated tempo, energized their teams, and showed why they belong among the state's elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248783"],"_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-69018b120a7f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kiera was one of the best on the floor overall. She is a disruptive force on both ends of the floor, showing her game has grown well beyond being just a shooter. She hit threes with confidence, dished out smart passes when the defense collapsed, and battled for rebounds with intensity. After a strong offseason of development, Westlake is poised to benefit from her improved confidence and all-around play this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["997499"],"_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-69018b120a881"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emersyn's energy is nonstop — she simply doesn't take a break. After draining a deep three, she was immediately back on defense, deflecting a pass and drawing a foul on the fast break. Her relentlessness sets her apart, and her court awareness is well beyond her years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["873331"],"_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-69018b120a8ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For such a young player, she showed maturity and composure well beyond her years. She ran the floor with purpose, and her absence was immediately felt when she wasn't on the court. She was the first to the ball after a miss, showing hustle and awareness every possession. Shifty with the dribble, she can get by defenders and has the vision to find open teammates, even when playing alongside new faces. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796471"],"_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-69018b120a956"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rihanna is one of those players who quietly take over a game without needing the spotlight. Her smooth fall-away jumper is nearly impossible to contest, and her length makes her a problem defensively—able to contest shots, deflect passes, and pressure ball handlers with ease. She's the kind of player who may not always lead in scoring but is involved in every key play, setting the tone for her team's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796474"],"_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-69018b120a9be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Evalyn showed exactly why she's knocking on the door of the top 10. Her ability to generate scoring opportunities—whether for herself or her teammates—was unmatched. She shot at a high percentage, making smart decisions with the ball, and when she wasn't scoring, she was creating looks for others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
