Tri-Valley 29 @ Hilliard Bradley 54 Recap
In this article:
<p>The Hilliard Bradley Jaguars are once again one of the top teams in the state this season. Led by a dominant defense and sharp shooting from 3-point range, it’s going to be difficult to beat them this season. The Norris brothers of Keaton and Cade outscored the Scotties by themselves. After a slow start in the first half, Hilliard Bradley turned up the pressure and ended up with a comfortable 25 point win. Here were the top performers from the game.</p>
<p>Cade Norris, 6’2 PF Hilliard Bradley 2024: Cade was dominant in this one, being very productive around the basket. Despite not being very explosive, Norris had a couple blocks in the paint defensively. Showed off his outside touch with a 3-pointer in the second half. Both of his brothers were point guards so it’ll be interesting to watch his development over the years as right now he’s very much a post player.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="918975" first="Keaton" last="Norris"], 5’11 PG Hilliard Bradley 2021: Keaton really struggled in the first quarter of this one, missing a couple easy 3-pointers and shots around the basket. After this slow start, Norris was very efficient from the field in the final three quarters. Keaton is one of the best shooters in the state and it was only a matter of time until he started making shots from the outside.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="809663" first="Luke" last="Lyall"], 6’0 PG Tri-Valley 2022: Lyall helped keep the Scotties in it in the first half with some hot shooting. Lyall has a natural lefty stroke and can run off screens and hit shots off movement. Not quick enough to take opponents off the bounce but in the MVL he has the scoring talent to be one of the top players in the conference.</p>
<p>Erik Neal, 6’4 PF Tri-Valley 2024: Neal is another freshman who stood out in this game. Neal has solid size for a freshman and competed in the paint against some older prospects. Neal scored a couple times against [player_tooltip player_id="921810" first="Peyton" last="Murphy"] in the paint and sets good screens. Neal is a name to remember in southeast Ohio for the future.</p>
