<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the snow keeping everyone at home it is time to take a look at some of our players that have made a big impact on their teams this season. These players keep coaches up late at night trying to figure out how to slow them down. Who else out there is a coaches nightmare. One that no matter what you do, they can still figure out a way to win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543676"],"_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-6976c3f48ffc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jarrell is averaging 15/10/2/2 and leading his team to an impressive season. Last year, he was known as a rim running finisher, intimidator and energy guy, but this season he keeps those skills and adds some poise by shooting the ball at with higher efficiency. He is a big guard, with post skills making him one of the most versatile players in the state. No matter what you do, he can score the ball, and lock down your big. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2892386"],"_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-6976c3f49006e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fisher is playing a more confident game and being more aggressive than last season, and this is one of the big reasons for Edna Karr's impressive season. he is relentless on both sides of the ball, and plays the game with no fear. As soon as he steps on the court, he competes. He is shooting better, rebounding better and has stepped in as an emotional leader as well. Good luck stopping Fisher when he is in that mode. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132743"],"_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-6976c3f4900f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kimmie is at a new school and embracing a new role. To say he is bigger would be an understatement. At Lab he was a smooth wing player with next level size and skill on the perimeter with the ability to slash and finish. Now he is a big body and even more athletic than before. He is still adjusting, but anytime you can put a 6'6 baller with wing skills in the post, the results can be scary. Good luck to any coach trying to figure out how to control one of the most interesting athletes in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2313822"],"_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-6976c3f490174"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vital has found a new home and is settling in to his role as point guard. His historic run at Hamilton Christian resumes at LCCP, and his skill and leadership makes them dangerous heading into the playoffs. He is a three level scorer, facilitator and just plat out playmaker that lives to make big plays. Good luck to opposing coaches trying to figure out how to control vital. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132726"],"_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-6976c3f4901f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shaw is back in the line-up and ready to spark another deep playoff run. Shaw is one of the most respected players in the state because of his unparalleled work ethic. Shaw is what we call a force multiplier in the military. He can take what you have and make it better. Shaw can shoot the three ball, knock down the mid range, finish at the rim and facilitates willingly. He does all that while defending your best player. Good luck to any coach trying to slow him down on either side of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

With the snow keeping everyone at home it is time to take a look at some of our players that have made a big impact on their teams this season. These players keep coaches up late at night trying to figure out how to slow them down. Who else out there is a coaches nightmare. One that no matter what you do, they can still figure out a way to win.
