The dynamic '28 scoring threat knocked down 6 staggering 3s and also added 5 steals. In addition to this, Carolyn had a 32 pt performance in a win over Holy Child. Her imposing outputs have put the region on notice This is one of the premier young talents on the rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1050171"],"_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-6977fd9bbbfe3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1050171' first='Lucianna' last='Parrotta'] (2027) | CG | SHG </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parrotta scored an extremely efficient 21pts in a win over Choate. She had another impressive showing against Kent with 21pts, 10 reb, 3 ast plus 2 stl. Lucianna has been a pure joy to watch when dissecting film.

She's showing range from the high-post to all around the painted areas while being extremely effective. This versatility was on full display in a recent game vs Loomis Chaffee. Dalia was finding open teammates, securing critical rebounds, getting deep positioning in the paint and finishing despite heavy contact. Malz showed exactly why she's considered one of the best freshman forwards in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["492268"],"_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-6977fd9bbc07e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='492268' first='Sammi' last='Santacroce'] (2027) | 5'5 CG | Suffield </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sammi is making some statements early into 2026. She knocked down 7 stifling 3-pointers to end with 23 pts in a 62-45 win over Ethel Walker most recently. She also led the team with 18 in a win over Taft. Santacroce has been a fine shot-making instrument who's looking to keep up the momentum. Suffield is a scary squad with her operating like this. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The storm came clobbering last night, but there's also been a couple girls that've been just as forceful. Below are 5 hoopers that've been striking in recent games.
