Tacoma fall league championship – Tahoma vs Annie Wright

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was at Tacoma Community College on Saturday and was able to catch a few games. The final game of the day featured Tahoma and Annie Wright in the championship game of the fall league. This was a close game up until the second half, and it was tied at halftime. Annie Wright was without [player_tooltip player_id='1450980' first='Martin' last='Kaupanger'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1450487' first='Hunter' last='Carter'] who were playing in another event. In the end Tahoma had too much size and pounded the ball inside for the victory. Here are some of the standouts from each team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6368a0c68a7ca","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kevin Williams ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Tahoma ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"It wasn't all inside play that won it for Tahoma. He was excellent on the perimeter and made some tough shots. He has a pure stroke from three and knocked down several, most of which didn't touch anything but the bottom of the net. He was also effective at getting off his shot in the mid-range. He is a skilled player who can play either guard spot and should have a big season as one of the only returning players who saw meaningful minutes last season on a state tournament team.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1612261"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Another of the few returning players who saw meaningful minutes last season on varsity. He is a good athlete with size. He runs the floor well and is active. He had a contested dunk on a fast break in the first game. He also knocks down threes, blocks shots, and rebounds. He is a a versatile player with great size to play inside and out. Tahoma had several other players who contributed in the title game. Unfortunately, I couldn't track down any rosters.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1450983"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"His team might have lost, but he was the best player in the championship game. He had to have 20 or more points at halftime, most of which came in transition. He had a few steals jumping passing lanes that he converted with layups on the other end. He makes tough shots, one of which came on a step back fade away jumper from the baseline. This was a shot you don't often see from a high school kid, much less a sophomore. He's got good speed with the ball in his hands and he always has his head up. He can also get to the bucket. Not much he doesn't do and he is one of many reasons Annie Wright is my favorite to win it all this year.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Reggie Lester ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Annie Wright ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"He had a solid showing on the day for Annie Wright His best asset was getting downhill and to the bucket.
