<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talent isn't limited to one location or league as we are top heavy.

Her versatility of playing outside and right side shows her footwork. Her power is intimidating to defenders. Her timing and ability to hit down line is impressive. Her defense has grown and become a strength to make a target come schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":883781,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Makayla Cooper","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32924","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Homewood-Flossmoor","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"360","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68bb19010bc2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Her athleticism can be seen from warm ups and just continues from her rentless will wall she build through the game. Makayla ability to read the defense and get side to side to explode play after play is nothing short than spectacular. Not being limited to one dimensional player, she attacks with the same fierceness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["435846"],"_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-68bb19010bca5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This heady player has the eyes all over the floor. Spots the ball with the best of them. Understands exactly when to execute the perfect tip or go up and slam it in. Playing in the back or up on the net she is active at all times.

Ability to freeze defenders and get the ball out of reach for good spots are skillful trait. Jumping ability coming in is giving her game a notch of eliteness.

Effects the game in all aspects, digging one down the line or driving down from the outside. Making plays from back middle. While still having the touch to tip and spot making smart heads up plays to land points. Her will to compete and energy is fun to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
