<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="775558" first="Mason" last="Rothwell"] (Bradley Central): </strong>College prospect Mason recorded 26 points in the loss tonight.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1012093" first="Malik" last="Dia"]</strong> came through for Ensworth tonight with a team-high 27 points. Dia maintains he is much better than our current rank of #13. Perhaps he is right. The potential is astronomical and Ensworth is certainly a home he loves.</p>
<p><strong>Damion Fayne (Wilson Central) vs. Green Hill: </strong>Fayne played with hunger in a challenging game for Wilson Central. He beat the first quarter buzzer with a dancing finish through traffic. Fayne is a fun player to watch. Strong legs. Projects as a small "3."</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="983706" first="Jensen" last="Linton"] (Eagleville):</strong> The senior leader recorded 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="775583" first="Kerrick" last="Thorne"] (Howard):</strong> Thorne came through with a fantastically productive night. He scored 30 points with 10 rebounds. Further, Thorne helped with 7 steals and 4 assists.</p>
<p><strong>Jason Burch (Green Hill) vs. Wilson Central): </strong>For Green Hill the frontline size is foreboding. Jason showed off some lovely baby hooks in the contest. Can finish with either hand. Improved toughness and strength from just two months ago.</p>
