<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NCHSAA is hosting their state championships this week, and I am in Winston-Salem to catch all eight of the women's championship games.  On day 2, we had two matchups: 6A

of attention when she's on the court attacking the gaps showing off her ball handling and ability to get downhill.  She was making smart moves getting to the basket herself or making the dish to her teammates on the block.  She has a special touch around the rim rolling the ball off her fingertips.  She hit her shot from deep, too, showing her ability to score on all levels.</p> <!--

the scoring showing off her ability to handle the ball driving to the basket for some points.  She runs the floor well being ready for the pass in transition to score some points on fast breaks.  She was doing well grabbing rebounds on both ends of the court, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

to score some points and earn an old fashioned three point play.  She continued to attack the basket battling contact working to get some points for her team.  She did well on the boards, too, battling for any kind of possession for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

was loose rebounds or knocking the ball away from her opponents.  Her long strides help her get up the court quickly in transition getting past her defenders for some tough shots.  She runs the floor well being able to catch the pass in transition and go to work.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
