The 2028 winger is one of the best prospects in Georgia and the Southeast. She is a competitive two-way player who can take over the game. She is an efficient finisher with a variety of ways to score. The top aspect of her game that stood out is how dynamic she is on the ball and the recognition she has for when the advantage is in her favor to take on the outside back. Tingley's attacking qualities are rare, which makes her a top player in this class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["150779"],"_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-66b27b278c2ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baxter is one of the top players in the Girls Academy in the 09 age group. The Tophat standout is a highly skilled midfield who is in the National Team pool. Baxter was part of the Girls Academy National Talent ID event. The midfielder has a strong all-around game. Her elite qualities in the attack make her an ideal candidate as a No. 10 at the highest levels in the future.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["199894"],"_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-66b27b278c309"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas is a forward on the GSA 2010 ECNL team. She was part of the U.S. U14 Girls National Team National Talent ID event earlier this year. She was the only player from Georgia in the class of 2028 to be part of that event. Thomas impressed during the ECNL playoffs. She has a long stride, good control of the ball, and the ability to finish with either foot. Thomas looks to be one of the top attacking talents in the state.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111856"],"_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-66b27b278c363"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rivera is another talented attacking player from this class. Rivera plays on the wing - either side. She is an excellent finisher with either foot. She is one of those players who strikes the ball with perfect technique that you notice when she hits it because the sound is different than her peers. She is a prolific striker for that reason and has been a top performer at the ECNL level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111884"],"_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-66b27b278c3bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Green is a forward on the GSA 09 ECNL team. She has been part of the ODP pool and called into US Talent ID events in the past. Green offers elite goalscoring and playmaking capabilities. Her performance from the ECNL postseason showed a player who has game-breaking quality at the highest level of the club game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["142883"],"_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-66b27dd57e5ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Battaglia is our top ranked defender in this class. The Tophat 09 standout has been stellar at the Girls Academy level. She has also been part of the US Talent ID events in the past. The aspect of Battaglia's game that stood out from game film was her awareness and recognition. She was constantly focused on looking for ways to make an imprint on the game - either through her strong defensive play or her ability to attack the opposition in the transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
