Hirst is a good offensive initiator. She can kickstart an offense with her high and wide dodges, which will either draw slides and move the defense, or she will score. The Capital middie has explosive movements in her game. She is really dangerous when she dodges from up top and gets down the right alley. Hirst is good in the 2-man game. She sets good picks. She is 2-handed and scores with both hands. Good off-ball cuts; timing is exquisite. The best part: there is room for growth; a high-ceiling player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["72038"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab696464c202"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooks had a stellar freshman campaign for Ralston Valley (Colo.) with 66 goals &amp; 11 assists. She is an entertaining player worth keeping an eye on. She fires off shots and can pull the trigger from deep. Brooks is an elegant dodger with her creativity. She can dodge and operate all over the offensive side of the field. Can get downhill and score coming upfield from “X.” The explosive Team 91 Colorado attacker is 2-handed and scores with both. She mixes her scoring with accurate vision and feeds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["86806"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab696464c224"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Griffiths is a hard dodger. She plays good 1v1 defense straight up. Off the circle, she hunts for the ground ball. Griffiths played for Team Canada at American Select and played up with 2028s. A player to watch in the Class of 2029.

Her clears are crisp. She made two great saves off the 8-meter on two different occasions. Jimerson can track shots going low very well.
