At 6’4", Hyrum is a matchup nightmare as he is too strong and steady to be defended by guards, but he is too quick and elusive to be guarded by bigs. Lindsey has great patience and footwork in the paint and he finishes with both hands around the rim. From outside, he can knockdown a deep jumper and has excellent mid-range touch. Defensively, Hyrum brings great energy and he is also a tremendous rebounder on both ends of the floor.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="919677" first="Bracken" last="Howell"], Marsh Valley:</strong> Bracken is a dynamic scorer for Marsh Valley and he showed his ability to score in a variety of ways all throughout the season. Whether shooting from deep, or driving all the way to the paint, Howell finds a way to score in all situations and he easily can put up a 20 point game at will. One of Howell’s greatest features is his jump shot and willingness to pass up a good shot for a great shot. He has a high basketball IQ and is able to find the right reads at the right time. Defensively, Bracken does an excellent job of keeping his man in front and he always finds ways to grab steals and start the fast break for Marsh Valley.</p>
