Several of them earned their way onto our roster after strong performances, showing they're ready for bigger roles. Some are upperclassmen finally breaking through, while others are younger players proving they're prepared for varsity responsibility and capable of making a real impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1377919"],"_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":1542864,"_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-693e1bc35a777"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1377919' first='Autumn' last='Jones'] put up 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists against a tough Bountiful squad — production usually associated with players like [player_tooltip player_id='825009' first='Leah' last='Bailey'] or [player_tooltip player_id='796850' first='Shay' last='Brown']. She's a true utility piece who can slide seamlessly anywhere from the 1 to the 4 and impact the game without skipping a beat. Her strength and physical presence stood out, proving she's a legitimate varsity force. She followed that performance by dropping 20 more points on North Summit, solidifying her role as one of their most versatile and reliable contributors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1098304"],"_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-693e1bc35a6b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cali has come from Idaho to join Lehi's squad, and although [player_tooltip player_id='1142936' first='Brynlee' last='Cook'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1315890' first='Madison' last='Andrews'] are usually the primary scorers, she stepped up in a big way against Mountain Ridge. She finished with 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals in Lehi's 45–38 loss to the Sentinels. Her ability to impact multiple areas of the game shows she could become an important piece for Lehi as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["873282"],"_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-693e1bc35a7c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='796745' first='Kennedy' last='Woolston'] may be Lone Peak's primary scorer, but in their 5-point loss to Lincoln (TX) on Friday, it was [player_tooltip player_id='873282' first='Charli' last='Warner'] who carried the offensive load with 15 points. Maddie Pope has also been trending upward and looks poised to become another key contributor as the season progresses. Charli is a true disruptor — a bull-in-a-china-shop type of player who thrives on physicality, uses contact to carve out space, and has a knack for regaining possession. Her presence brings an entirely different edge to Lone Peak's lineup, and performances like this suggest she's only getting started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSNw4hAEauL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSNw4hAEauL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1539098"],"_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-693e1bc35a80b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellie just got added to our roster this week, which shows how under the radar she has been — until now. She stepped up in a major way for Farmington, helping the Phoenix push back against a tough Pleasant Grove squad. She knocked down three 3-pointers and finished with 15 points, leading her team on a night when every possession mattered. If she can deliver like this against one of the strongest teams in the state, expect her name to surface a lot more as the season continues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1308548"],"_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-693e1bc35a89c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saralynn scored 21 points in a win over North Sanpete on Friday, showing just how athletic and impactful she can be, especially on the boards. While the usual scoring threats for the Bruins are [player_tooltip player_id='1250448' first='Sienna' last='Bramble'] and [player_tooltip player_id='796845' first='Jaycee' last='Carlson'], Jaycee did an exceptional job facilitating, consistently finding Saralynn in rhythm and helping her take over the game. Their connection was a major factor in the Bruins' victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1542887' first='Ava' last='Blair'] || Olympus || 14 points vs AF</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1051328' first='Jalise' last='Chatman'] || American Fork || 13 points vs Payson || 18 vs Olympus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='805795' first='Brynn' last='Wadman'] || Fremont || 8 points &amp; 2 3-pointers vs Weber</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1542894' first='Brooke' last='Grunander'] || American Fork || 10 points vs West</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796474' first='Evalyn' last='Roberts'] || Bingham || 20 points vs Skyridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
