Holiday Tournament Wrap: Players Who Ran The Show

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">With most of the holiday tournaments wrapping up this past weekend and a few finishing up this upcoming week, select players from each event ended up earning MVP honors. Whether it was driven by the stat sheet or simply being the most impactful player on the floor, these athletes separated themselves over the course of the tournament. Below is my selection of some of the players who truly took over the holiday tournaments.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["593853"],"_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":1579114,"_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-695194d17f77d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>It's a rarity that players get better as they get to a higher level.. but Baer has that aura about her that points in that direction. From the outside of the arc.. this kid has no fear and is absolutely one of the best shooters in the state. But her energy on the boards is what I think Butler will love most about her. After having a dominant tournament showing over the holidays.. it's easy to see how seamlessly she will fit into Butler's program. Hell of a talent.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514035"],"_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-695194d17f819"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>There's no denying that Danyella is one of the best players in this state, and when you've been as consistent as she has been since the start of the year.. you end up with no losses in your record, as well as MVP honors from your respective holiday tournament.

This kid can score the ball effortlessly, and even when multiple eyes are on her, she still figures out a way to get her buckets, but most importantly, get the win. She can adapt, she can be versatile, and she shows the maturity of a true leader. Big fan.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
