Standouts From Seminole Versus Lake Howell

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">This game was worth the travel. We watched a top 30 sophomore, a pair of senior guards, and underclassmen worth checking on throughout the season. Seminole earned a big win, but both teams left an impression. Let’s look in on the 8 guys that stood out.</p> <p><strong>Seminoles</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1163440" first="Quindarius" last="Rumph"] ranks 30th in our 2024 rankings and that’s a real testament to the depth of the class. Rumph’s length and 6’7 frame bode well for a combo forward. The sophomore threw three assists that stood out last night. The alley-oop pass in transition and a high, low pass will make a highlight reel. Flashes of high level passing and an open court handle point to the possibility of playing on the perimeter full time. Until then, he’ll continue to grab boards, finish plays from the dunker spot, and develop his post moves.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/IMG_7258-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1348361" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/IMG_7258-150x150.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id=" width="150" height="150" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="814929" first="Uchenna" last="Kellman"]-Nicholes is 6’4 guard that excels in motion. His athleticism made him the best player in transition. His frame allowed him to be a physical defender, disrupting his assignment’s movement. In the halfcourt, he served well as a cutter and a shooter from the corner.</p> <p>As a 6’4 forward, <strong>Tyrique Lewis</strong> competes for every possession. He has a solid frame and plays with a high energy level. His production came from being a switchable defender and a good rebounder.</p> <p><strong>Lake Howell</strong></p> <p><strong>Wesley Bonner</strong> didn’t have his normal double digit output. Part of that was not getting the whistle. The other half was an off shooting night. He scored off a cut to the rim and a steal. Bonner led all players with 5 assists. His passing continues to help his team produce. He finds guys in transition, leading them to open spaces and knowing where guys should be in the halfcourt. Bonner handles defensive pressure without having to turn his back. The senior has positive body language even when the game isn’t going his way and it’s infectious to the team.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/IMG_7259-rotated.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1348363 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/IMG_7259-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="1348647" first="Kesean" last="Lowe"]</strong> is a quick 2023 guard. He has a crafty lay up package that allowed him to score around an athletic 6’7 defender and several other taller players. Lowe is a disciplined defender that keeps ball handlers in front of him. He hit a pair of threes within the flow of the offense. Take a deeper look at him if you’re looking for a floor general who moves the ball and scores when needed.</span></p> <p><strong>Khalik Mitchell</strong> is a quick smaller guard. He finished well on the break using a pump fake to throw off a defender and around contact.</p> <p>Co-captain of the Silver hawks <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1415671" first="Jahmeir" last="Henderson"]</strong> is a solid athlete at 6’3. He proved that with a chase down block that ended a Seminole scoring run. He finished the game with 10 points.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/IMG_7260-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1348365" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/IMG_7260-150x150.jpg" alt="Iziah Martin | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>Iziah Martin</strong> is an interesting prospect. He’s a forward coming out of the 2023 class that has the size and wing skills that could point to a breakout senior season. At 6’6 he proved to be a good finisher and rebounder. Martin also has a nice handle for his size.</p>
