<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshmen shined at the Good Counsel Super Scrimmage. We have previously highlighted some, here are some of the others that caught our attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["916910"],"_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-691f3c1cf1a0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mackenzie had several strong drives to the basket and showed excellent body control, consistently absorbing contact and finishing through it. She attacked from tough angles on multiple occasions yet still managed to convert, demonstrating a soft touch and impressive balance. Her aggressiveness off the dribble also earned her trips to the free-throw line, turning hard earned plays into additional scoring opportunities. With her ability to create her own offense and finish difficult shots, she's poised to be a tough matchup this season and is definitely a player to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1263662"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1380783,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-691f3c1cf1ab6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lyla has excellent size for a freshman and plays with a lot of confidence. She can play some point in a pinch and has a good shot from beyond the arc. She is an athlete that runs the floor the floor hard and gets down court in front of the defense for the catch and finish which I saw a couple of times during the day. I loved how she protected the ball on her drives in traffic then unwounded at the rim for the basket. She is a key piece to the Falcons elite freshman class that will be looking to make a WCAC run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740636"],"_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-691f3c1cf1b54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Laniyah showed some impressive footwork in the paint, demonstrating control and confidence on the block. She displayed a soft touch on her turnaround jumper and used her fakes effectively to create space to get her shot off. With her size and presence at the post, she should see meaningful minutes as a freshman and provide valuable depth for the Cardinal this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_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-691f3c1cf1be1"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1263617"],"_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-691f3c1cf1c6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carsyn has good size and stays active in the post, pursuing every rebound with purpose. Whenever she touches the ball, she immediately surveys the rim and looks to make a play, showing confidence and intent. With the Mustangs preparing to feature a pair of freshmen anchoring their post this season, Carsyn is proving she won't just be watching from the sidelines, she's positioning herself to make an impact right away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1240300"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1380765,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-691f3c1cf1d0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I initially thought it was a misprint that she was listed as a 2029 player, but Prep Girls Hoops confirmed that Jayden is indeed a freshman. She has great size and a solid frame for her age. She opened the game by knocking down her first 3-pointer, then hustled back to defend the post on the other end. She also showed the ability to get her shot off with a touch even after being whacked by the defender. Jayden runs the floor well and has the versatility to initiate the offense as a point guard. She's already showing signs of being ahead of her class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
