Teams from all over the state have gotten some last-minute work in before Christmas Day. Some have gone out of town, while others have decided to stay close and grind away. In the Middle Tennessee area,&nbsp; Independence High School brought some holiday cheer to the community. With various teams from around the state slated to play one another, it was a good tournament to see some good basketball before Jolly St. Nick comes to town.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some standouts from the Independence Pre-Christmas Tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513233"],"_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-694742b1ad2d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Missouri signee was cookin'. I'm talking about giving teams a fire roasting specialty. She is hard to contain as she has an excellent pull-up jumper, and she displays from the field to go along with her ability to finish at the rim. She is so shifty, and it was hard for opponents to slow her down as she got to the rim with ease. She finished with 30+ points in multiple contests. She's a hard-working individual who's going to elevate the Missouri program once she arrives. Until then, look for her to push her team towards state contention.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["816630"],"_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-694742b1ad33c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This other Missouri signee was doing her thing as well. She moves so well as a big and can handle the rock, getting into a countermove easily. She is a bucket down low, and her ability to be big time on the boards and block shots is so good. She's the captain of the Lady Admiral,s and she really helps elevate this ball club. She brings energy and effort to the table and instills confidence in those around her. Hard-working kid who will be a nice addition to the Lady Tigers program.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Alexa Perez","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Grace Christian Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694742b1ad3eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This young lady is coming on strong for the Lady Lions. She's added significant value to their ballclub as a solid two-way player. She's been big time on the boards, clutch knocking down shots, and really contributing on the boards. This kid plays hard, and she was a big pick-up for this program.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822288"],"_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-694742b1ad444"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid has been heating up and has the Lady Eagles flying high. MJ has been on a burner, lighting it up from deep. Once she is locked in and into a groove, she is hard to slow down. She is playing with a lot of confidence. From the arc, she's been money, and her team knows when to feed the hot hand. A great kid who is not only one of the leaders of this club, but will help this hot program down the stretch compete for the district crown.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822474"],"_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-694742b1ad488"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She is a bruiser who gets after it. A solid two-way player who rebounds with the best of them. On the offensive end, she can knock it down from the arc, but attacking the rim is what she does best. She is relentless when going to the hole, and anyone who tries to get in front of her, “beware and do so at your own discretion.” Solid ballplayer who is going to help the Lady Firebrids go deep this season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
