Scouting Report: Liberty-Prairie Regional Final

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>IOWA CITY, Iowa - </strong>Iowa City Liberty punched its ticket to the state tournament for a fourth season in a row with Tuesday night's 3-0 victory against Cedar Rapids Prairie in a Class 5A Regional Final. I've scouted Liberty and Prairie this season but wanted to see both again because both teams are loaded with strong players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm highlighting a few athletes I couldn't fit into my last reports on these teams.

Liberty loses a lot to graduation after this season, giving Hennings a chance to move out of the shadows in 2023.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["168183"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":239875,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Rollins is a player that looks better each time I see her.
