She is a good passer, can shoot the ball from 3, and has a great mid-range game. I watched a lot of her this season, and the maturity in her game always impressed me. She capped off her senior season with A VHSL state championship. She was named to the WCAC first team.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["149863"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='149863' first='Jessica' last='Dornak'] has a very polished game. She has excellent touch, which you often see when she works out of the post and shoots FTs. Her post hook always looks good, and the bounces she gets aren't luck; they go in because her touch is just that good. Dornak can also step out and knockdown 3s. South Lakes was solid this year, and Dornak was their leading scorer.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["579891"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Freshman standout [player_tooltip player_id='579891' first='Demi' last='Gilliam'] was terrific this year on both ends. She is a long and mobile defender capable of guarding multiple positions. On offense, Demi has a good mid-range game and is a fantastic offensive rebounder. She was first-team all-region and a name to watch this AAU season.

Laura is an absolute force on defense, and she put in a masterclass defensively against St. Anne's Belfield in the state final. Her touch improved this year, and she is starting to look super comfortable operating out the post. Towards the back half of the season, Laura was one of the best players in Virginia and was stacking on double-doubles. Laura was named first team all WCAC and will be recruited hard this summer and next year.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"Skylar Giuliani ","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"Potomac School","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Skylar Giuliani had a terrific year, especially for a sophomore.
