Saulisbury does effect the game on the defensive end of the floor. Saulisbury recorded 5 points and 6 blocks and several rebounds in a opening night win. Saulisbury still must get stronger for the next level. Saulisbury runs the floor well and tends to leave his feet trying to block shots down in the paint. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/955B9FB4-4769-4DE2-9405-36578A05B306.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1095290" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/955B9FB4-4769-4DE2-9405-36578A05B306-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="930645" first="Aaron" last="Medley"] (2022) - Laurence Manning Academy </strong></p> <p>Medley was the primary ballhandler in the backcourt here today for the Swamp Cats. Medley penetrated the gaps and found the open man on his way to the rack. Medley finished on contact to the basket tonight. Medley seemed to play with more confidence here tonight and looks to be excepting a leadership role on this team. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1095284" first="Jaden" last="Sanders"] (2022) - Laurence Manning Academy (pictured on the front)</strong></p> <p>Sanders was a pleasant surprise for the Swamp Cats. Sanders went down with a injury a few months back at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo. Sanders did most of his damage attacking the basket and finishing with both hands at the rim. Sanders plays the game very unselfishly and shoots the ball at a high percentage. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/121A55F2-2038-40B7-B042-8B2E66BC4472.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1095292" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/121A55F2-2038-40B7-B042-8B2E66BC4472-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="976896" first="Mikey" last="Templeton"] (2022) - Orangeburg Prep </strong></p> <p>Templeton is wearing a new uniform this season after making the move over from nearby Andrew Jackson Academy. Templeton was playing more on the ball today and seemed to have a lot of freedom in the offense. Templeton connected on a few shots from downtown out on the perimeter. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/4129437D-F87F-4DA0-A4B2-FC3F1B6A87AC.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1095313" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/12/4129437D-F87F-4DA0-A4B2-FC3F1B6A87AC-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="865308" first="John" last="David Gardner"] (2023) - Heathwood Hall </strong></p> <p>Gardner got his team back in the game but came up just a bit short on opening night. Gardner knocked down some three pointers and pull-up jumpers in transition. Gardner used the ball screen to get by defenders and was always shot ready to receive the ball. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
