<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CHSAA action has been loaded recently, with several players putting together strong stretches of play and impacting winning in different ways. This list highlights athletes who have stood out with their consistency, skill level, and ability to raise their team's ceiling. Each name below has made a noticeable impression and continues to trend in the right direction. From controlling pace to delivering in key moments, these performances haven't gone unnoticed. As league play tightens up, these are the players setting the standard night in and night out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2027758"],"_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-697a331dd3d8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yates brings a lethal shooting ability that consistently changes the floor for his team. He's equally dangerous off the catch or off the dribble, forcing defenders to stay attached at all times. His footwork and balance allow him to get clean looks even when closely guarded. Yates has a clear knack for taking and making big shots, especially when momentum is on the line. He doesn't shy away from pressure and often looks most comfortable in late-game situations. Beyond the scoring, his shooting gravity opens opportunities for teammates and improves overall spacing. As the playoffs approach, Yates figures to be a key piece in how far his team can go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2303118"],"_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-697a331dd3e14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson is averaging more than 21 points per game this season and has been a steady offensive force for his team. He scores efficiently at all three levels, showing comfort from deep, in the midrange, and attacking the rim. As the go-to option, he consistently draws defensive attention and still finds ways to produce. Jackson does a strong job crashing the glass, using his instincts and effort to extend possessions. He's also made a clear impact as a playmaker, creating quality looks for teammates when defenses collapse. His ability to read the floor keeps the offense flowing and balanced. With his scoring and all-around impact, Jackson remains the engine that drives his team's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2617774"],"_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-697a331dd3e72"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joseph is a talented wing who makes his presence felt on both ends of the floor. His athleticism allows him to cover ground quickly and impact plays defensively. He's an active rim protector, using timing and length to contest shots around the basket. On the offensive end, Joseph is a reliable inside finisher who thrives attacking space and finishing through contact. He runs the floor well and consistently puts pressure on the defense in transition. His energy and versatility give his team flexibility across lineups. As his game continues to develop, Joseph's two-way impact remains a valuable asset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2360081"],"_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-697a331dd3ecb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coco is an active defender who brings consistent energy and effort on that end of the floor. He reads passing lanes well and creates extra possessions with his activity. As a playmaker, he shows good feel for the game and makes the right reads to keep the offense moving. Coco also has scoring ability, capable of capitalizing when defenses shift their focus. He plays within the flow while still finding timely opportunities to attack. His versatility allows him to contribute in multiple roles depending on what the game calls for. Overall, Coco's all-around impact shows up clearly in winning situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2319782"],"_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-697a331dd3f22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Encarnation is a true point guard who brings control and structure to the floor. He can knock down the three within offensive sets, keeping defenses honest. His ability to play at a controlled pace allows his team to stay organized in pressure situations. Encarnation has a polished floater game that makes him effective in the paint against length. He consistently makes smart decisions with the ball, showing a high basketball IQ. His leadership and communication stand out, often functioning as a coach on the floor. As a floor general, Encarnation's presence elevates the overall execution of his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
