He showcased his ability to score at all three levels but loved how he attacked the rim finishing thru contact using his strong frame. Sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1344607' first='Armelo' last='Boone'] helped out in the scoring column scoring 22 points but Simpson will allow some of the younger guards like Boone to develop under him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lexington Catholic is lethal from 3pt range</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just about every player on this Lex Cath team is a threat to score from distance.

He has good size on the wing and score at all three levels. Plays with a high IQ and is a threat to score every time he touches it. He's also an underrated athlete as he threw down an impressive dunk in the 4th quarter. Poised to have a monster senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
