Featured Forwards- Mansfield Spring Creek Invitational

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lot of players are hybrid now, meaning they play multiple positions. A forward is often smaller in size than a center, but used inside the paint to guard the power forward. The forwards listed in this article are long and can shoot the three ball and stretch the floor for their team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Ashlei Daniels","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Frisco Lebanon Trail","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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":"Daniels is guaranteed to control the boards and limit the opposing team from having free range in the paint. She has quickness to match her length. Daniels understands how to move the ball around the perimeter and look for her teammates. She could honestly stand to be more selfish and look to score more. u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWhen she does attack, she has a quick first step and can get past smaller opponents.

She's that player that will find a way to get her hands on the ball, specifically on all rebounds she is in the mix. Smith is a good communicator in the back of the press for her team, and was effective knowing when to release from the back of the press to go for steal at half court. It's not always common for high school players to consistently calculate this gamble in the press. She finds a way through pure grit and determination.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_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":"Emily Bray","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Frisco Memorial","_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":"u003cpu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022 data-mce-style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eI was impressed with Bray's ability to finish against bigger opponents. On the wing she uses her strong stature to rip the ball through high and turn to the basket to score so that the defense has to reach over her to foul.u0026nbsp; She made great reads based off her spatial awareness- reverse pivoting to receive the ball and square and shoot or make a move.
