Kenlie scored at a pace of 11 per game last year and was a key part of their offense as a distributor and controlled the offense. Solid on the boards  and a good on-ball defender. Look for her to increase her game with the loss of Keetyn Hupp. Plays big for her size.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Faith Donley","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Leesburg Fairfield","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Solid guard with good court sense and a good basketball IQ.

Not a big deep perimeter scorer, but she is able to score in a variety of ways. Good court vision and is able to facilitate the offense.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["316722"],"_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":"They had a solid year with 15 wins last season, and much of that success was a result of Addison's solid play.

Payton scored at a clip of 24 points and 9 rebounds per.game. Such a physically strong kid, she gets to the line on a regular basis, and can shoot over 70%. Eleven times she went to the free throw line double digit times and draws the opponents tough inside defender. Also averaged 4 steals per game last season.
