Preseason 1st Team ALL-5A South

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This group tilts games by doing winning things possession after possession, guards who control the court, wings who swing momentum, and a big man who owns the painted area. Their individual impact aligns with team success, which is exactly the recipe for postseason accolades and deep runs.

His late-game composure and shot creation give the Panthers a reliable closer when possessions tighten. Based on how directly his impact maps to wins and postseason positioning, he profiles as a centerpiece for All-Conference and All-State honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021931"],"_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-68e061cea526a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson is El Dorado's problem-solver — the guard who steadies runs, bends defenses, and guards multiple spots. He scores at three levels and reads coverages quickly, which keeps the Wildcats' offense adaptable. With team success and his consistency, Robinson sits squarely in the postseason accolades lane, looking at All-Conference and likely more if they are playing deep into March.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2460195"],"_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-68e061cea52b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson brings energy, boards, transition bursts, and timely buckets. His two-way activity raises Lakeside's floor, especially in physical, possession-heavy games. Given his knack for impact plays that translate to wins, he's positioned for All-Conference traction and All-Tournament buzz if Lakeside breaks through late.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194618"],"_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-68e061cea52ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spratt Jr. is a matchup headache with the blend of length on the perimeter, confident handle, and a clean stroke that punishes weak coverages. He stretches the floor for Benton while still generating high percentage looks at the rim. If his production scales as expected, he projects as both an awards magnet for every award and the key reason Benton's postseason profile keeps trending up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2404469"],"_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-68e061cea5344"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Griffin anchors Sheridan with sturdy rebounding, toughness in the paint, and strong finishes inside. He roams the paint well on both ends, allowing guards to press and wings to gamble, knowing the back line is secure. As Sheridan's identity leans on Dawson's best attributes: physicality and defensive control, Griffin's impact should translate to wins and a strong case for All-Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
