She is strong on the ball and confident in her play. I like how vocal she is with her team on looking at opportunities and finding the next pass to get forward. Childers has some versatility and could factor in as a wingback in the future. Childers offers a well-rounded game, and has shown the drive to be an early contributor at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["172631"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Gordon is a no-nonsense outside defender. She is physical, unrelenting, and determined. Her highlight reel shows what she can bring at the next level. She is going to impose on the opposition with her aggressive approach. She can play either left back or right back. She is probably a right back at the next level. Her never-quit attitude is the best aspect of her game. There were a number of moments from GA games this season when she recovered on a play and stopped the attack because she just refused to lose the duel. The outside back should have the interest of plenty of scouts with that type of approach.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["172629"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Freberg is a rapid riser in this class. She is a dynamic forward with a sweet left foot. Freberg is 5'8 and has the pace to get behind the defense. She uses her body well in shielding defenders off the ball. Freberg has already been out to some ID camps at top programs so the scouts in the region should be aware of her from those experiences. Her recent play in the Girls Academy should also raise some eyebrows. She was on a tear to end 2023. Dynamic on the ball and efficient in front of goal, she offers the quality that all coaches want from a winger.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["172627"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Hook is another top player from the Sporting Blue Valley program. She is one of the few 2026s on the 07 ECNL team. Playing against and with some of the top players from the 2025 class has prepared her for the next level. I thought she was a standout for Sporting BV during the ECNL event in Texas. She played on the right wing against GSA. She is quick and active on the wing. A good two-way player. She has been dominant at the high school level this season with nearly a goal or an assist in every game. Houk has game-breaking qualities and should be on the radar for scouts at Summer showcase events.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["23569"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Pittman is one of the top defenders in the Midwest ECNL conference in the 08 age group. She plays as the right center back for KC Athletics. She is a do-everything type of player. She can shutdown the opposition with her defending and organizing. She is also a target in the attack on set pieces. Pittman is the type of player you never want to take off the field because of the outsized influence she has on the team with her play. She could end up as one of the top recruits from this group.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643afb8097b8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
