<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breaking into the Varsity rotation can take some time. Some players may grab minutes as Freshman while others have to wait until they add a little bit more to their game. Catching a growth spurt, hitting the weight room and locking in on skills and growth could speed up that process. Here are some players that could break into the rotation and grab some minutes at their High School this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2947699"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaa113e454e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lambert is playing the long game and as a Freshman at Northshore did the work required to earn a spot on the team. He is a tough downhill guard that is one growth sport away from Varsity glory. He has all of the tangibles and his sophomore campaign could be the break through season. He has put in the work and could be a player to watch moving forward in the rotation. Keep an eye out for Lambert and let's see what the upcoming season has in store. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3594295"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaa113e4551a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conley has put in some major work this summer and after watching him in Dallas, he could be a difference maker for the Winnfield program. He is a big kid with steady developing skill to match his size. He has a solid handle and embraces the physical part of the game making him ready to make a bigger impact this upcoming season. Winnfield has a young developing prospect with even more room to grow the next few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3541509"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaa113e4553c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lacy had an impressive summer and looks to be finding his rhythm early in his hoop journey. Lacy is a big guard that can put the ball on the floor and shift the defense, or move without the ball and score on back cuts and screens. He is ready for more responsibility and his size is definitely Varsity ready. His sophomore campaign could sure see his production increase and expand his prospect status.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3544755"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaa113e4555c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Franklin has grown since last season and has expanded his skill set. He is moving with more confidence and using his handle to control the pace of the game. At a visible 6'2 he is a prototypical guard and has added muscle to his frame. Kennedy has a bright young prospect on their roster and his ability to knock down the mid range shot and extend his range to the three will unlock an even higher next level ceiling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3564695"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaa113e4557a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Loyola looks like they are moving in a more productive direction and if Williams can run the point guard position, they will break some hearts. Williams is a confident guard and is coming to his own pretty early. His ability to control the game by either scoring or facilitating makes him an intriguing prospect and a problem for teams hoping to see the same team from last year. Strong, aggressive and smart, Williams could be one of the biggest stock risers in Shreveport. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The work is what matters and some of these players are doing all that it takes to improve their game. Consistency is the key to it all and the dedication is showing up on the court. Stay locked in for more player break downs as we head into the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Breaking into the Varsity rotation can take some time. Some players may grab minutes as Freshman while others have to wait until they add a little bit more to their game. Catching a growth spurt, hitting the weight room and locking in on skills and growth could speed up that process. Here are some players that could break into the rotation and grab some minutes at their High School this upcoming season.
