Tri-County Diamond Division Players To Watch This Winter

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're using the four letter word here--Winter--the time to start taking looks at who's back around the state is here. We began our look at the Tri-County earlier today and we continue by analyzing some of the returnees in the Diamond division this winter. We've long promised South Jersey the love--We've finally made it down the Turnpike and the Parkway! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2335547' first='Leo' last='Impagliazzo']</strong> | G | Triton 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Triton had an up-and-down season, Impagliazzo made a big showing as a sophomore. A versatile lead guard who had over 100 assists and rebounds, getting it done in every aspect of the game. He picked up his scoring load towards the end in their 5 game winning streak to close the season out, including hitting for 21 against Cumberland and 17 vs Clearview earlier in the year. He'll be expected to take en even bigger leadership role as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ethan Turner</strong> | 6'0" | G | Cumberland Regional </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A crafty guard who had a solid junior year. Turner can move well off the ball and has a quick first step. He's strong enough to drive through the lane and finish through contact with defenders. While Cumberland had some struggles as a team, Turner had a great junior year individually. He scored 27 vs Buena, 24 vs Holy Cross and Triton, also netted 23 vs Collingswood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='933718' first='Devon' last='Johnson'] </strong>| 6'0" | G | Overbrook</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson teamed up with the now departed Jaylan Hornsby to form a tremendous 1-2 punch for Overbrook last winter. Johnson is a good ballhandler who can get in the paint and use crafty footwork and skill to finish around the rim. He can let it rip from deep but is at his best when he can attack the basket. Johnson will crack 1,000 pts early in his senior season and will shoulder the load after Hornsby, a football star, transferred to Camden High. He had 29 vs Glassboro and 28 vs Clearview as top games last year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2335494' first='Charles' last='Graves'] </strong>| 6'3" | G | Glassboro 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graves showed confidence as a sophomore to take a step forward at the varsity level. He's a confident shooter beyond the arc who can pull up off the dribble. Crashes the boards hard and had several games where he had double digit rebounding nights. Multi-sport athlete who had 25 vs Gateway and 21 vs Woodstown. He'll see an expanded role as a junior leader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jhaisir Harden</strong> | 6'1" | G | Glassboro</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harden is best known for his work as the QB of the Glassboro football team but also played a role on last year's basketball team, using his physicality from the football field to do the dirty work on the glass. He had 6 games with 10 rebounds or more, including several double-doubles. His top games as a junior were vs Gloucester Catholic(24&amp;15) and Woodstown(23&amp;12). He's an athletic addition to what is going to be a Glassboro team with high hopes as almost everyone is back from a 12-14 season, including many who saw time as sophomores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
