His ability to create offense off the dribble and create problems for opposing guards gives the Cardinals a reliable weapon in big moments. Taylor has a strong chance to earn All-Conference honors and receive more recognition, pushing toward the top of the 5A West region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2021917"],"_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-68dd842c275b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'4”, Rockwell brings size and spacing to the floor, giving Farmington a matchup advantage against most 5A West opponents. His ability to score at multiple levels and defend bigger guards makes him a two-way contributor. With Farmington projected to contend deep into the postseason, Rockwell's role positions him as a likely candidate for All-Conference buzz if his consistency holds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2392365"],"_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-68dd842c27601"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jennings is a wing who thrives on energy plays and scoring versatility. His ability to impact games as both a slasher and perimeter threat makes him the key piece for Van Buren's offensive flow. Given his importance to the Pointers' success and their postseason aspirations, Jennings has a path to postseason accolades, particularly All-Conference, with upside for All-Tournament if Van Buren makes a run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2978115"],"_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-68dd842c2764b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nolan's frame and developing skillset give Greenwood a reliable forward presence who can rebound, defend, and score in rhythm. His growth as a perimeter shooter adds another layer to his game. As Greenwood aims to be competitive in the 5A West, Nolan's impact on both ends makes him a strong candidate for postseason recognition, especially if his scoring input rises.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2973723"],"_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-68dd842c27693"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simpson is a steady forward who provides Farmington with toughness, leadership, and athleticism. His ability to help in multiple ways on both ends, with hustle and playing unselfishly, makes him a trusted piece in the Cardinals' lineup. With Farmington projected to be among the 5A West's top teams, Simpson's role as a stabilizer gives him a strong chance at postseason accolades, particularly All-Conference and All-State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
