<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">LARGO, MD </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">— PGCC played host to the CBAA Semifinals on Tuesday night where National Christian and Rock Creek Christian won respectively and will square off on Thursday in the championship game. Below is a look at five takeaways from our time in the gym.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">ROBINSON FACILITATES NCA OFFENSE</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Jakai Robinson</strong> stood out as not just a go-to scorer, but a reliable playmaker for NCA Head Coach Trevor Brown. The left-handed 6-foot-5 sophomore demonstrated a confident handle and the ability to run offense efficiently. One thing that makes Robinson a tough matchup for most is his ability to consistently hit tough shots from all over the floor. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">SCRAPPY RIVERDALE TEAM COMES UP SHORT</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Riverdale lost a close one to NCA, but the Crusaders can be proud of their effort. Unsigned seniors <strong>Jordan Johnson</strong>, <strong>Charles Creek</strong> and <strong>Myles Anderson</strong> all had nice moments. They played well as a team and played hard.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">FAUNTLEROY, HUNT & MATTEWS PROPEL ROCK CREEK</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With <strong>Guy Fauntleroy</strong> struggling to find his rhythm in the first quarter, <strong>Milton Matthews</strong> picked up the slack with <strong>DeLonnie Hunt</strong> facilitating the offense. After his initial struggles, Fauntleroy broke out to score 12 points in the second quarter, and that jumpstarted his team’s offense. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">YOUNG PROSPECTS SHOW SIGNS FOR CCA</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With just one senior on their roster, Capital Christian’s young players were thrust into major roles, and a few of them showed good potential. While skilled and versatile wing <strong>Johnny Mendez</strong> was the primary standout, <strong>Javon Adams</strong>, <strong>Ryder Vargas</strong>, and <strong>David Onanina</strong> each had their moments. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">GROSS & WILLIAMSON DO THE DIRTY WORK</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rock Creek sophomores <strong>James Gross</strong> and<strong> Zaakir Williamson</strong> deserve mention for the things they did that won’t show up on the stat sheet. Both played hard, fought for 50/50 balls, and rebounded. </span></p>
