She can grab a board and lead the break, she can defend bigger because she plays with a lot of strength and does not let bigger players back her down. She has solid attacking skills as she gets to the rim and makes things happen and she can hit from outside as well. She is starting to pick up traction in her recruiting but she is under recruited for sure.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65821a81cef51"} /-->

She puts in the work and plays with a high motor. She has already racked up quite a few double-doubles and there seems to be no way of truly stopping her so teams have to just hope they can contain her.

She has some elevation on her finishes and she can also finish through contact. Around the rim she is tough and she also has a soft touch. Her motor is also impressive as she is all over the floor being active which allows her to rebound on both ends of the floor. She sets solid screens and she doesn't always roll quickly she changes the pace.

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Ridgeline High School </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ridgeline has taken the thrown as the team to beat as they have taken out some really good teams. They play an uptempo style of ball that is also unselfish. A lot of their sets give the person with the ball multiple options as player cut and get into position. [player_tooltip player_id='772236' first='Emilee' last='Skinner'] continues to impress as one of the best players in the country. [player_tooltip player_id='773061' first='Elise' last='Livingston'] just committed to Utah Valley and she is playing at a high level. But their role players have all stepped up when needed. [player_tooltip player_id='773050' first='Halle' last='Smith'] has been clutch and so has [player_tooltip player_id='773108' first='Macie' last='Brown'], when these two are locked in they are tough to handle. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Copper Hills High School </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Superb team that has been getting a lot from everyone on their roster but they are lead by [player_tooltip player_id='772868' first='Ellie' last='Taylor'] who is heading to Utah Tech. [player_tooltip player_id='788192' first='Skylie' last='Barker'] has been playing at a high level and then you add the emergence os [player_tooltip player_id='788318' first='Aspen' last='Fraser'] and Ayla Marsten this team is tough, They can play fast or slow but their length really bothers teams for sure. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Davis High School </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Darts just play who they play and mind their own business. They have started the season undefeated and seem to be picking up steam behind [player_tooltip player_id='772829' first='Kendra' last='Kitchen'] the Utah Valley signee. </p>
