Top Performers from Texas Jamboree

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I didn't get a chance to see<strong> Ma'Riyah Alfred</strong> drop her <strong>30-plus points</strong>, but she has been on a mission since the season started, and while I'm giving S/O's,<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='510471' first='Amayah' last='Garcia'] </strong>dropped<strong> 39</strong> for <strong>Faith Family</strong> in a huge win over <strong>Montverde.</strong> This was at another event, but I just had to mention her. Okay, here are the players who left me speechless at times</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/MHscXPcMyHo","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/MHscXPcMyHo </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1449516"],"_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-6929daddb3bd9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacobs made things happen on both ends;<strong> her "on the ball" pressure,</strong> as well as<strong> "playing the passing lane" </strong>was huge as both created turnovers. She also attacked the basket strongly, finished after contact, nice body control helped, plus she created her shot and dropped the jumper. How about her off-balance jumper after crossing midcourt for the win!!!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217160"],"_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-6929daddb3c6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas brings so much energy to the table, and her using her athleticism on both ends is one of the first things that stood out on that initial sighting. I love seeing players do things instinctively, and I also enjoy watching them<strong> "make plays"</strong>. She handles the ball and sees the floor under pressure. She scored off the dribble and dropped the mid to long-range, and she controlled the tempo</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["842794"],"_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-6929daddb3ce2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hampton went off at the <strong>"She's A Bucket" </strong>event last week,<strong> <em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/11/gamechangers-shes-a-bucket-showcase/">see evaluation here</a></em>,</strong> and guess what, she did it again. She applies so much heat defensively that it creates havoc, which leads to turnovers. This included playing the passing lane, yet her seeing the floor, scoring off the dribble, as well as dropping the jumper, and even doing it, showing the step-back, were all pluses </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874890"],"_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-6929daddb3d57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott is "long and athletic' which is the base, and seeing her set the defender up to attack off the dribble using a deceptive first step to score was nice, but her pull-up jumper, <strong>"catch and shoot"</strong> included, also created problems for defenders. She hit the boards, and she also did a good job defensively </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["858505"],"_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-6929daddb3dcc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooks is a <strong>"long and athletic" guard, </strong>and that too, is the base. Her acrobatic finishes have always impressed me, yet doing them after contact has taken it to a different level. She also did a good job of hitting teammates in traffic for good looks, but her court vision across the board was solid, as was her defense. She also gave me the <strong>"stop and pop"</strong> jumper as well as the<strong> "catch and shoot" </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1097317"],"_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-6929daddb3e38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Warren is, you guessed it, <strong>"long and athletic" </strong>but she also is a shade under<strong> "the magic number"</strong> which happens to be<strong> 6'0</strong> in case you didn't know. That doesn't matter because she plays as if she's taller, and seeing her go <strong>AFTA</strong> everything off the rim, on both ends, was one thing, but her taking defenders off the dribble en route to 30 plus points was another. She also scored around the basket, blocked shots, and played solid defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
