3rd Region Dynamic Defensive Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defense is about PRIDE! It is about TOUGHNESS! It is about taking a matchup personal and refusing to give up an inch! The 3rd Region has some absolute DAWGS on the defensive end who can flip a game without ever needing to score a point. They dive on the floor, pressure every dribble, contest every shot, and make opponents earn everything. If you love gritty, high energy basketball, these are the names you need to know!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["999589"],"_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-699b618c32c78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Layla embraces the toughest defensive assignments night after night. With quick lateral speed, strength, and total commitment to the task, she makes life miserable for opposing guards. She takes pride in shutting down the other team's best player. Expect Layla to make major noise when the 3rd Region tournament tips off!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890069"],"_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-699b618c32cd9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elizabeth is a proven, athletic guard who excels both on and off the ball. As an on ball defender, she pressures and disrupts rhythm. Off the ball, her instincts shine as she jumps passing lanes and creates steals that ignite transition offense. If Breckinridge County makes a run to Rupp Arena, her defense will play a major role in getting them there!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502287"],"_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-699b618c32d26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Unique is an explosive, ultra athletic guard who takes defense personal. She can pick up full court, slide her feet, and make ball handlers uncomfortable from the opening tip. Her ability to contain the ball and disrupt offensive flow is a major reason Owensboro thrives. If Owensboro makes a deep postseason push, Unique's defensive pressure will be at the center of it!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["782512"],"_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-699b618c32d6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breigh is a strong, physical perimeter defender who leaves her fingerprints on every single game! Averaging 3 steals and 5 deflections per contest, she lives in passing lanes and turns defense into instant momentum. This offseason will be huge for her as she continues to heal and build strength. Do not be surprised if Breigh emerges as the BEST perimeter defender in the 3rd Region next season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["963038"],"_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-699b618c32dac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Length. Timing. Instincts. Hannah brings all three! With 78 blocks this season and counting, she has been a nightmare in the paint. She alters shots, erases mistakes, and makes guards think twice before attacking the rim. College coaches love rim protection and Hannah is putting together a resume that demands attention this summer!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879212"],"_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-699b618c32ded"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cariann is a dominant interior presence who protects the rim at an elite level. She blocks shots, alters even more, and completely changes the way opponents attack the paint. Multiple triple doubles with 10+ blocks show just how impactful she is on that end of the floor. She is a HUGE reason Edmonson County has its sights set on a strong postseason run!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["812951"],"_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-699b618c32e2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor is relentless. She is ultra aggressive, physical, and thrives on taking away space from opposing guards. A true loose ball magnet, her hustle plays shift momentum in a heartbeat. The Lady Aces will lean heavily on her energy and toughness as they gear up for postseason play!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
