<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the first rankings of California's 2028 class, here are some players who are ranked very highly, and are regarded as some of the best players in the state for their graduation year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["147280"],"_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-67019c115e493"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellis is a very athletic wide forward who can really impact a game because of her great speed. She gets past defenders and in behind lines, and once she does she's very good on the ball whether it's exploiting an advantage or going for goal. She finishes neatly and she also plays very accurate crosses in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["199890"],"_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-67019c115e4f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lim is a forward that has all of the skills. She has speed, agility, quickness and ball skills. She is a tremendous goal scorer, a lot of that is attributed to her skills but some of that is because she plays an advanced brand of soccer. She understands combination play, she passes and receives well, moves off the ball well and moves the ball quickly. Her ball movement and off-ball movement puts her in great positions to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111097"],"_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-67019c115e532"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This center back is a real force. Miller has skills like a forward as she can really carry the ball forward, and displays agility that beats other defenders. She even plays a ball and will continue her run like an attacking player. She's instinctive in knowing when to step to the ball as she is a total ball winner. She wins in the air, she wins on the ground and then she plays a perfect ball to the midfield to help start the transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["199887"],"_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-67019c115e570"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Travers is a mature defender in the sense that she does not rush or panic. She sees the game unfold in front of her and reacts accordingly. She's strong on the ball and makes good decisions. She has good speed whether on the ball or cutting off an attack. She's a strong defender who plays physically and shows the ability to make strong tackles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["187366"],"_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-67019c115e5ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yoshimura is incredible about using her body and momentum to get defenders going one way, and then go another as she receives the ball, giving her a long runway to carry the ball. She's fantastic in open space, and she makes defenders miss with ease as she is quick, clever and agile. She's a very unselfish No. 10 who plays a beautiful ball between central defenders, and hits the ball so cleanly with either foot that its delivered to the perfect spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
