Five standouts from Illinois 2027, 2028 classes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Four field players from the 2027 class and a keeper from the 2028 class highlight this feature as we continue to show the fantastic talent in the state of Illinois. These five stand out because of their understanding of the game, which they pair nicely with their individual skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["158115"],"_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-6726023a2501c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White has a great frame for being a keeper as she is tall, long and lean and very athletic. That combination allows her to get to just about any ball. What I noticed when watching her is that she gets across her body quickly and can reach that shot going from her right to her left that seems destined for the upper V. She already shows an advanced understanding of the game in terms of positioning and reading the flow of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["153174"],"_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-6726023a250a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lambert is absolutely tough as nails and is a force on the outside as a No. 11. Left-footed all the way, that leg is special as she can score with power, score with precision and she really plays a nice ball, be it on a cross or playing a ball back on the ground. She's got good pace and toughness as she will challenge defenders and her ability to carry the ball with pressure is impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["233159"],"_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-6726023a2510f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burke has excellent stop and start to her game. She's very twitchy and quick, showing tremendous athletic ability. What I like about her game is her ability to stay onside, so if you couple her awareness with her fast twitch ability and her technical skills, she's a tough player to handle. She can really move the ball well with vision and accuracy, and she can really put pace on the ball when she goes for goal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["233155"],"_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-6726023a252b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McMahon is a versatile player as she can play as a physical, ball-winning defender, or she can play out wide as a forward and use her speed and ability to beat people off the dribble to be a threat. She has great technical ability, and an understanding of the game. She's strong and poised and really shows great vision. Her biggest strength is her set piece ability as she sends in balls that are lethal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["153303"],"_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-6726023a25318"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barriball is an immensely talented player who can impact the match in so many ways. She's a force on the left side as she can beat defenders with her agility and quickness, showing a great ability to carry, or to play combination footy. She sends in a nice ball from the left side, but my favorite part of her game is how well she receives the ball and how she can turn a defender, and either get downhill quickly or switch the field and open up a defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
