She's also a reliable three-point shooter with a smooth catch-and-shoot stroke. When attacking the basket, she stays balanced and under control, and she complements her driving ability with a polished floater game that allows her to finish over taller defenders in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1861309"],"_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-6a159cde39cdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meghan played well at the recent Hoop Group Girls Jamfest, helping her team finish the weekend 4-0. She shot the ball confidently and efficiently from three-point range throughout the event. Her effort level also stood out, as she consistently hustled for loose balls and played with high energy. In transition, she runs the floor extremely well to create easy scoring opportunities for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1276998"],"_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-6a159cde39d20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tessa has a strong pull-up jump shot in the mid-range and does a great job attacking the basket aggressively. Once she gets into the paint and draws defenders, she makes smart kick-out passes to open teammates. Her handle is tight and controlled, allowing her to confidently bring the ball up the floor while handling defensive pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1356666"],"_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-6a159cde39d59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mia recently committed to playing her freshman season at Austin Prep next year. She's a strong finisher around the basket who can score effectively with either hand. Her inside-hand scoop finishes stand out, as she uses them well to protect the ball from shot blockers. She also adds value as a capable three-point shooter who can stretch the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["340831"],"_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-6a159cde39d99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avery is an excellent post player who consistently backs defenders down and scores efficiently around the basket. She plays very well in the pick-and-roll, rolling hard to the rim and finishing with soft touch when teammates find her. In addition to her post game, she's comfortable operating from the perimeter, attacking defenders off the dribble and getting all the way to the basket to finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
