<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a type of event.

Above average shooter, the type of confidence only earned through many hours of work. One to watch throughout the season, recently earned an offer with Texas A&amp;M Kingsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560885"],"_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-68d377e694497"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1560885' first='Isaiah' last='Ward'] is relentless in everything action he takes. A glue guy defensively allowing his teammates to attack offenses with Ward's dynamic rim protection. Continues to apply pressure offensively as well running the lanes, keeping spacing for shooters and attacking the offensive glass. Isaiah has a knack as the backside defender of coming to help. block a shot, keeping it in bounds and not fouling. Exciting year on deck.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2546876"],"_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-68d377e6944e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gavin continues to grow, develop and open eyes. The frame now reaches 6'3' and muscular development the sophomore is able to take the body blows and deliver some of his own. Gavin just absolutely abuses opposing defenses with a 17-assist performance in the GASO Fall event. Gavin has always been above average shooting ability and great with the rock adding assist totals, Watch Out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1593892"],"_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-68d377e69452c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1593892' first='Donovan' last='Criss'] looks like a man on a mission this year.

Always terrific slasher in a highly anticipated matchup with Frisco Memorial Donovan and the [player_tooltip player_id='2382174' first='Brennan' last=''] Bears methodically dismantled their opponents. Continuing to see hiw far the development of the summer elevates Mr. Criss this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
