4th Region Most Dangerous 3 Point Shooters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These girls are dangerous from behind the arc and can completely flip a game in a matter of minutes with momentum changing 3 point shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defenses know they cannot lose these shooters, while coaches are constantly looking for ways to create open looks for them. Their impact goes beyond simply making big shots. The threat of their shooting forces defenses to extend, opens driving lanes and creates opportunities for teammates. One or two quick 3 pointers can completely change the energy of a game, and each of these players has shown they are capable of doing exactly that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821756"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab4058a1a93e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pennington is coming off an incredible shooting season, knocking down 133 of 283 attempts from 3 point range for an incredible 47%. Those makes ranked 1st in the KHSAA, averaged nearly 4 made 3 pointers per game. That combination of efficiency and volume makes her one of the most dangerous shooters in the region and state. She doesn't need many opportunities to make an impact, and defenses will have to be locked in every possession. When Pennington gets hot, Franklin Simpson can put points on the board in a hurry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743651"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab4058a1a974"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morris is another senior who has proven she can consistently punish defenses from deep and her versatile scoring. She connected on 78 of 184 3 point attempts for 42% last season. That kind of efficiency over nearly 200 attempts shows she can consistently make defenses pay when given an opening. Her shooting ability forces opponents to stay attached to her on the perimeter, which can create additional space for new home Metcalfe County's other offensive weapons. She will be someone defenses have to locate from the opening tip.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903187"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab4058a1a997"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Byrd enters her senior season as a legitimate perimeter weapon after knocking down 53 of 132 attempts from 3 point range for 40%. Her ability to consistently hit shots gives Barren County another weapon defenses have to account for. She can provide a huge momentum boost when she finds a rhythm, particularly when a game is tight and defenses are trying to take away easy scoring opportunities. Her experience and shooting ability could make her especially valuable in big games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["972332"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab4058a1a9ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burton gives Barren County another dangerous shooter from deep, connecting on 52 of 130 3 point attempts for 40%. Having two proven 40% shooters makes Barren County especially difficult to defend because helping too aggressively can leave one of them open. Burton's ability to stretch the defense also creates more room for teammates to attack. As a junior, she has another year to grow into an even bigger offensive role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913403"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab4058a1a9e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooksey has quietly been one of the region's more efficient shooters, knocking down 35 of 92 attempts from 3 point range for 38%. As a senior, her ability to stretch the floor can become even more valuable when games tighten up and every possession becomes magnified. She gives Cumberland County a reliable perimeter option who can make defenses pay for leaving her open. A couple of early makes could force opponents to completely change how they defend the Lady Panthers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["965789"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab4058a1aa05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adler is another shooter who has already demonstrated that she can consistently knock down shots from deep. She made 47 of 125 3 point attempts for 38% last season. Those 47 made 3 pointers show the volume of impact she can have from the perimeter, and as a junior, she has an opportunity to take another step forward and become an even bigger part of Logan County's offense. If her shooting continues to develop, she could be one of the players who takes a significant jump this season to be named among the state's elite. </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":"Kenzie Willen","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_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":"Cumberland County","_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab4058a1aa5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Willen brings a combination of volume and experience to the list. She knocked down 71 of 214 attempts from 3 point range for 33% last season. Attempting more than 200 3 pointers shows how much confidence she has in her perimeter game and the coaching staff puts into her. She has proven she is willing to take the big shot, and defenses still cannot afford to lose her, especially when she gets into a rhythm. Her experience could be important for Cumberland County in close games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
