Really shines in transition, as her handles and speed allow her to blow by defenders. Even in the halfcourt, she drives to the rim with a feel and pace that is rare for a freshman. Can misdirect with her eyes to set up defenders, along with changing gears. In the contest against Owasso, even made some quick thinking, outstanding vision, passes. Clearly has the potential to be the complete package as a lead guard and should continue to ascend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1233971"],"_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":1556053,"_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-69435fc229232"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sharpshooter, who exploded in Dale's come from behind victory last Saturday against Washington. Is a certified sniper, with clutch three after three in the second half. Heady for a freshman off the bounce. Made some nice passes when ran off the line, head on the swivel type seeing the floor. Plays the game with joy, which has allowed her to fit in perfectly next to her talented upperclassmen teammates for a title contender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1554055"],"_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-6944582450972"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones is a pesky on the ball defender and already starting for Jenks. Impressed in the win over Bartlesville with her combination with her ability to stay in front of and harass opposing defenders. While also consistently hitting from three throughout the contest. Including a dagger three that put the Lady Trojans up 9 in the fourth quarter. The freshman combines with her older sister Jayda, to make for a defensive minded backcourt that makes life very hard on the opposition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246705"],"_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-6944582450a51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The second part of the Lady Bombers' freshman punch. Consistently scoring in double figures as a three point threat. Knocks down threes with ease and makes strong and tough drives to the rim. Impressed in a recent viewing with one of her steals. Where she cut in front and out fought an older, taller player to get the ball. Then had the awareness to quickly pitch it ahead to a teammate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1554045"],"_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-6944582450b2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Linn was a bright spot in VCS' loss this week to Cascia. Played with an advanced feel for an off the ball scorer. Found openings around the rim and out to 10-12 feet as an efficient scorer. Lived at the line by drawing fouls and playing fearless against older players. Tracked down long rebounds as well too, even turning one offensive rebound into a three pointer. Promising athlete, who already looks like she can be a reliable go to option for the Lady Conquerors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1554049"],"_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":1556054,"_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-6944582450c12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Freshman forward who knows her role and thrives in it for 3A contenders Washington. Plays big around the rim on both ends. Mobile forward, who cuts well off the ball and has a soft finishing touch around the rim. Provides a different dimensions to the the sharpshooting Warriors team, and her influence should continue to grow over the course of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
