<p>Play With Purpose (PWP) help there first Fall Showcase called the Super 32. Play With Purpose is a program that has a two-fold objective, by helping raise money for orphans and at-risk children locally and worldwide. It develops selfless attitudes within young athletes that call them to sacrifice and think past the moment at hand and use their gifts and devotion to make a difference. So all the money that was made from the door and from team registration went to support children in need. for more info on PWP visit <a href="http://playwithpurposesports.org/index.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">playwithpurposesports.org</span></a> Here are my takeaways from the event.</p>

<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/r-j-keene/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">RJ Keene</span></a> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">6’6 SF • 2021 • Concordia Lutheran HS</span> <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2021-rankings/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">PH</span>TX<span style="color: #ff0000;">75</span></a></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Played very poised throughout the event. Had some nice finishes at the rim as well as knocking down some jumpers. He also was active on the glass.</span></p>
<hr />
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Nash Golaszewski</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">6’5 SG • 2020 • Concordia Lutheran HS</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Nash ran the point at times and was aggressive on his attack to the rim. He knocked down some tightly contested mid-range jumpers. Would’ve liked to see him play man defensively but his team runs a zone on defense.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Jemikan Chevis</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">6’3 F •<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>• St. Pius X HS</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Plays with high energy. Was all over the court literally. Got after 50/50 balls forced a lot of tie-ups. Was really solid in the short corner game as well as cleaning up on the glass.</span></p>
<hr />
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/l-j-cryer/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">LJ Cryer</span></a> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">6’1 PG • 2020 • Katy Morton Ranch HS [Baylor]</span> <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2020-rankings/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">PH</span>TX<span style="color: #ff0000;">150</span></a></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Made the game look so easy. Looks like he’s added about 10lbs of muscle on his frame. Played a lot stronger then when I last seen him play in July. Scored the ball well at all levels on the floor. And was locked in defensively.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Geoffrey Day Jr</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">5’9 PG • 2020 • Cypress Park HS</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Was a pesky on ball defender. Played solid in help-side situations. Came away with a handful of steals and forced multiple turnovers. He has high offensive IQ and is a pass first point. He dropped some nasty dimes at the event.</span></p>
<hr />
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Ernest Ellis</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">6'2 SG • 2020 • Katy Morton Ranch HS</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">He doesn’t have the prettiest jumper but he knocks it down at a high rate. Has great elevation on his jumper with a high release point. He was a problem from deep. If he continues his hot shooting from the outside he will be a great weapon for the Mavericks down the stretch of the season. </span></p>
