Top 250 Expo: Lights out shooters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's takes thousands of shots and muscle memory to become a consistent outside shooter. There was no shortage of long range bombers in attendance on Saturday at the Prep Girls Hoops Top 250 Expo in Hopkins so here goes!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6344ebb4bcf20","name":"acf/evaluation-block","align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6344ebc2bcf21","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["339183"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":522231,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lydia not only knocks down open 3's, but she shoots it off the bounce as well as anyone in her class. She has good size and enough confidence to go around. Missing a few shots in a row does not deter her, and that's the mentality you need in a shooter. Shooters shoot!! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6344efabaffd9","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["205298"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I know, I know, "she's a scorer", not a shooter! If that's your take, you my friend, are wrong! Ode has put so much work into her shot that it's almost not fair that she's virtually unguardable now. In the words of the great Mark Jackson, "hand down, man down!" If you give her any daylight she's letting it fly with above average returns! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6344f092affda","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["520282"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-footer with range?

Shooters usually have a favorite spot or two that they're really comfortable with, well for Rae, that's where ever she catches the rock! She's absolutely one of the best shooters in her class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6344f2feaffdd","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":522213,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"stephanie Cink","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_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":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Clair","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"MN Fury","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cink put on an absolute clinic at the Top 250 knocking down long range bomb after long range bomb! I found myself seeking her out no matter what court she was on and when I located her, she didn't disappoint; "Another one," in my DJ Khalid voice. Cink has what we call, "in the gym range". Look at her profile pic, she has a ball in her hand, nuff said! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other shooters deserving of some love:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>[player_tooltip player_id='339146' first='Nora' last='Pederson'] – 2024 guard, Mounds Park Academy</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='453769' first='Phaley' last='Yang'] – 2025 guard, East Ridge</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='520269' first='Hannah' last='Dierkes'] – 2025 guard, Becker</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='520275' first='Kailey' last='Smith'] – 2024 forward, Farmington</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='520273' first='Isabelle' last='Kirchner'] – 2025 forward, Two Rivers</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='304892' first='Anna' last='Vaaler'] – 2024 guard, Andover</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
