Liberty at Pinnacle: Soph standouts & 1 Senior

<p>On Tuesday January 11th I attended the 6A contest between <strong>Pinnacle and Liberty</strong> at Pinnacle in Phx, AZ. </p> <p>I watched all three games of the night with Freshman, Junior Varsity and of course Varsity. </p> <p>A lot of new players were discovered and I wrote about some players who stood out.  </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here were the soph standouts and one senior: </p> <p><strong>JV game:</strong></p> <p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="1138511" first="Jameson" last="Vick"] Pinnacle</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A rare pure PG sees plays developing quickly. He can drive and kick it to shooters plus pass it up the court to a running teammate. He can drive the lane plus make catch-3’s. </span></p> <p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="1366379" first="Christian" last="Wells"] Pinnacle</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A scoring guard who can score it from the perimeter plus inside. He can hit the 3 plus is very crafty inside to score around traffic. He has good length to defend and good court awareness.  </span></p> <p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="1364967" first="Preston" last="Owens"] Liberty </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A shooting guard who is the teams 3pt shooter. He has deep range from beyond the 3pt line and he can crossover his man and rise up an shoot it. He plays with some toughness and has strength. </span></p> <p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="1364966" first="Zion" last="Eboru"] Liberty</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An athletic defensive guard missed all of last season with an injury and is just coming into his own this season. He can hit from mid to the 3pt line and is tough on the ball defensively. He go hot in the 2nd half and single-handedly brought his team back within striking distance from beyond the arc. Look for him to play next year on varsity. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Varsity game:</strong></p> <p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="1336097" first="Braylon" last="Johnson"] Pinnacle </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lone soph on varsity is a long forward who moves well in space. His handle looked tighter to get passed his defenders and get up the court. He will rebound plus block shots in his area. He will score it from inside and out.</span></p> <p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="1010009" first="Joey" last="Grady"] Pinnacle </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The starting point guard for the Pioneers is the only senior starter and one of only two seniors on varsity. He is a catch 3pt shooter who makes good reads/decisions with the ball in his hands. </span></p>
