<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Neville is officially your 2-5A District Champion. With star power, toughness, and team chemistry, this group proved they were built to win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227698"],"_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-699cbb7ddb0fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lyric is the engine that makes this team go. A prolific scorer with a natural feel for the game, she commands the offense with poise and confidence beyond her years. When Lyric gets hot, the entire gym can feel it — her rhythm, her shot selection, and her ability to score in bunches can completely shift momentum in a matter of minutes. But what separates her isn't just her scoring; it's her leadership. She understands when to attack, when to slow things down, and how to keep her teammates involved. In big moments, Neville looks to Lyric, and time after time she answers the call, proving she's not just a scorer, but a true floor general.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["744493"],"_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-699cbb7ddb1ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Erynn is the definition of a three-level scorer. Whether it's knocking down shots from deep, pulling up in the mid-range, or finishing strong at the rim, she does it all with efficiency and control. Her ability to break down defenders off the dribble creates constant pressure on opposing defenses, forcing them to make tough decisions. Erynn's footwork and shot creation allow her to generate space even in tight coverage, and she plays with a calm confidence that makes her incredibly difficult to guard. Beyond the stat sheet, she brings a steady presence to the floor — a player her teammates trust when possessions matter most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874363"],"_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-699cbb7ddb243"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joy plays the game with heart, toughness, and an undeniable competitive edge. She's a determined scorer who refuses to be denied, attacking the basket with purpose and fighting through contact to finish plays. Joy has proven time and time again that no defender can easily take her out of her game. She embraces the physical side of basketball and thrives in high-pressure moments, often stepping up when her team needs a spark. Her relentless mindset fuels Neville's intensity, and her confidence spreads throughout the lineup, inspiring those around her to elevate their play.</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":"Janiyah Banner","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Neville","_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-699cbb7ddb38a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Janiyah is the glue that holds everything together. As a facilitator, she has a sharp basketball IQ and a natural ability to read the floor. She consistently makes the right pass at the right time, setting up her teammates in scoring positions and keeping the offense flowing smoothly. Janiyah understands that winning isn't always about scoring — it's about making the best play available. Her unselfishness and court vision create balance for Neville, ensuring everyone stays involved and engaged. She's the kind of player whose impact may not always scream from the box score, but it's felt in every possession.</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":"Taelor James","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Neville","_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-699cbb7ddb4ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taelor James anchors the defensive side with grit and intensity. Physical, athletic, and relentless, she takes pride in guarding the opponent's best player and making every touch difficult. Her defensive presence changes games — diving for loose balls, contesting shots, and bringing energy that lifts the entire team. Taelor plays with a motor that doesn't stop, setting the tone for Neville's toughness. Her commitment to defense and willingness to do the dirty work embodies what championship basketball looks like, and it's a major reason Neville stands on top as district champions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
