2023 Live Game Action Scouting Volume 1.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023 season is off to a great start. I've been traveling around New England each weekend catching live-action games and looking for rising talent and viewing identified prospects perform in a live setting. In this report, I will preview prospects I observed play in a live-action game that stood out and caught my attention during my travels. I will also include all top prospects' names given to me by their respective coaches while attending these games. This report will be a continued report with several published pieces. Here is Report 1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["449015"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1003795,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='449015' first='Mekhi' last='Dodd'] is a force with good speed and playmaking abilities.
