Exposure Fall League Tips Off: Middle School

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Exposure Fall League&nbsp; tipped off it's season on Sunday, August 23. It will run through the end of September. The league is broken down into 3 divisions: 5/6th grade, 7/8th grad and High School.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I will primarily cover the 4 teams in the 7/8th grade division. However, that doesn't mean I won't peek in on the 5/6th graders.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were several 7th graders that stood out during Tip Off Day:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1899940,"_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-6a8c6246690ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The 7th grader got the league started with a 3 pointer. She followed that by draining another 3 pointer.&nbsp; She isn't limited to shooting 3s. She will attack to the basket too. She was also the primary ball handler for her team.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1899941,"_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-6a8c62466916a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The 7th grader is an all around, high motor player. I would consider her a big guard right now. Defensively, she is aggressive and can defend the guard and post positions. Offensively, she attacks for the pull up and can also knocked down a high post jumper. She is very unselfish and will make the extra pass.&nbsp; A player isn't safe for a wide open layup because she is coming from behind to contest. She has good anticipation skills for steals and deflections.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1899943,"_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-6a8c6246691bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The 7th grader is a Strong Stretch Forward. She cleans up the boards and converts them for buckets.&nbsp; She also stretches the floor attacking to score or if open attempting the long 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1899944,"_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-6a8c62466920e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The 7th grader is a player who is really beginning to blossom. I actually noticed it while watching her play in a spring league.  I've primarily seen her in the post. She has gotten quicker and can defend on the perimeter now.  A very aggressive defender that has active hands and feet while on the ball. Offensively, she attacks the basket from the perimeter and has extended her range to the 3 point line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
