Senior Breakout Kings: Its Our Time

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earning varsity minutes can take time for some players. For others, getting on the floor is never the problem, but becoming the piece that supports the team and complements the star player is the next step. Eventually, every player wants to become&nbsp;the guy. The player the coach trusts to make the big plays when the game is on the line. That responsibility comes with experience, confidence and the ability to perform when the pressure is at its highest. These seniors have put in the work, gained valuable experience and are now ready to take on bigger roles for their teams. In the biggest moments, these are the players expected to step up, make the play and help carry their teams to victory.&nbsp;<strong>Here are our Senior Breakout Kings.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471554"],"_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-6ab5d31100e82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2471554' first='Elijah' last='Garner'] is a recent La Tech commit and a top 5 talent in the state. His ability to knock down big shots and change the direction of a game is what makes him an easy next level prospect. He has the prototypical collegiate frame and that dawg mentality that intrigues coaches. He is elite in every offensive way and will only get better as he matures. Bet on Garner for next level success.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3622695"],"_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-6ab5d31100eba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3622695' first='Keith' last='Collins'] does not miss the mark on any next level attributes. He has the size, mentality and team first approach to the game. What sets him apart from most is his defense first mindset, but this summer he showed that does not impact his offensive capabilities. His college level frame sets him up to be an immediate next level impact player and the coach that wins his commitment will have a program changing talent. Northshore will be a top team in the state this season and Collins will be the headliner.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2953377"],"_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-6ab5d31100eda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2953377' first='Phoenix' last='Hall'] has locked in all summer and this upcoming season will surely be a force for St. Augustine as they look to get back to Top 28 glory. Not sure if anyone will really be able to deal with him and his size along with athleticism. Bigger, stronger, faster and more seasoned make him dangerous this season. Coaches looking for an active hybrid player will enjoy his obvious skills, but his intangibles like IQ and coachability will make him an attractive target for next level programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132754"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2130797,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6ab5d31100efa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2132754' first='Jewellz' last='Tapp'] has played his role for the past couple seasons and came up big for Curtis last season in some big games.

He has a smooth mid range jump shot and can knock down the three ball when he wants. He has linebacker size and lead guard skills which will make him an easy target for coaches that want a do it all guard.&nbsp;Pencil him in for big games this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421312"],"_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-6ab5d31100f17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2421312' first='Devin' last='Lavalais'] will ultimately end up as a gridiron player at the next level, but that does not mean he is not a next level hoop prospect. What will his role be this upcoming season will be interesting to watch. Devin can lead the team in scoring with his offensive skill set right now. Will he have to is the question. Marksville has a squad of shooters, and Lavalais could spend this season as the glue guy but that remains to be seen. Regardless, he is one to watch on their path back to the top 28.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is just the tip of the iceberg as we dive into our senior class and some of the players to watch.
