Seriously, this young baller was making </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">everything no matter how tight he was defended, even knocking down a turnaround corner 3-pointer at the buzzer to end the third quarter. Phenomenal</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> shooting fundamentals and shooting touch, when Sisco had a clean look he would gently kiss the ball right off the glass into the net.

<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;"><em><strong>Caleb Hart - Shooting Guard - Katy Taylor - 2021</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;"><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">Senior shooting guard, Caleb Hart, is a 6’1, 3-point assassin. He’s coming off a game where he scored </span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">15 points, all from way beyond the arc, going</span> 5-8 from 3-point range. <span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">A p</span>henomenal jump shooter that was insanely hot in this game. It’s always amazing watching a guy shoot the lights out with such great concentration and consistency. Hart displayed textbook mechanics, perfect elevation, balance, and release. <span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">His stroke was very consistent every shot he took looked the same as the one before. He also showed an i</span><span data-tt="{"paragraphStyle":{"alignment":4,"writingDirection":1}}">mpressive ability to get the ball off his hands in a blink of an eye and he did it effortlessly. Caleb Hart must be accounted for at all times or he will make you pay. </span></p>
