She's got a chance to be an elite player. - <strong>Brady</strong> <strong>Peterson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["736760"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e29f32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After nine months on the sidelines, Lemorande returned for her first game action since her knee injury. I didn't expect much from her because of the amount of time she spent recovering. I was more excited to see her on the floor again than anything else. After the first day of seemingly getting her footing again, she was good on Sunday in a manner I didn't expect. Her shooting and scoring were what set her apart last summer.&nbsp; - <strong>Brady</strong> <strong>Peterson</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>OFFERS</strong>: Maryville (MO)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["515689"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e29f75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6-foot forward from Woodbury has continued to improve her overall game while growing and getting stronger.. We've been projecting big things from Doughty and that's starting to bear fruit on the PGH Circuit with the MInnesota Bobcats. Megan is ranked Top 50 among the 2026s. - <strong>Grant McGinnis</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376764"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e29fb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Great court vision and passes. Threw some absolute dimes in every game I caught. Deep range on shot. Great change of pace and use of hesitation moves to get past defenders. Consistently made very smart plays and was an easy standout throughout the day. Also really love how balanced her scoring was with her assists. - <strong>Alyx</strong> <strong>White</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254282"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e29ff0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noel really caught my eye this weekend. She is fast, hyper-athletic, can score from all three levels, has a good crossover dribble move, and was terrific on the defensive end with her ability to jump passing lanes and block shots. - <strong>Akeem</strong> <strong>Webb</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254284"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e2a02c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grace Bale is as good as advertised! She is a prolific scorer with a beautiful left-hand shooting stroke that can hit the 3-ball and get into the lane to drop off a nice floater with incredible touch. Grace also pushed the pace on the fast break and kept her head up for open teammates running the floor. - <strong>Akeem</strong> <strong>Webb</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["484988"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e2a068"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Timberlyn lead her team to yet another championship appearance. She had a great junior campaign. Timberlyn is arguable the quickest player in the state regardless of class. She uses her speed to blow by defenders for easy layups or to create for her teammates. Timberlyn consistently finishes over taller players. On defense she is an excellent on ball defender. She excels at pick-pocketing and applies constant pressure on opposing players. - <strong>D'Andre</strong> <strong>Trevon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["634025"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e2a0a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'6″ point guard is one of the best in the state at her position because she leads her team in all facets of the game. She can play tone-setting defense with her on-ball pressure and her ability to play the passing lanes to get steals. She is an excellent playmaker who keeps her teammates involved with deft passing. She also gets into the paint and can finish with strength. - <strong>Earl</strong> <strong>Austin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["619187"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6655f20e2a0e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is a gritty lead guard who looks to push the pace whenever possible, getting up off the initial rebound in transition. Bringing in a high motor, she is often tasked with grabbing and going on the break, eager to kickstart a full court offense.&nbsp; Keeping her head up for the next play, she constantly seeks out the best shot possible, regardless of who. Within the halfcourt, she has shown capabilities making plays out of ball screens, capable of reading the next option without turning over the rock. - <strong>Clayton</strong> <strong>Conover</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
