Is a smaller frame guy that can get to any spot that he wants on the floor. He consistently stayed in the lane throughout the game and gave his teammates open looks. The opposing team full court pressed him and he seemed unbothered by the pressure and was under control the entire game. With him being so young he handled himself with maturity and has a bright future in leading a team from the Point Guard spot.

Cedric Jones Jr.
Is a straight bucket and every time Northside got the lead he would make a play for himself or his teammate in order to put his team back ahead. He has courage and isn’t afraid to take and make big shots when the game is on the line. He plays with great pace and always knows when, where and who to get it too at the right time. He always controls the pace of the game and knows when to push the ball and when to slow it down.
A smooth lefty that can go over the dribble and/or knock down the open shot. He is very quick with the basketball and gets in the paint with ease. He made it hard for the defense to leave him and help because he was almost automatic from the three point line on the catch and shot. Towards the end of the game a guy on the other team was helping to keep Parkview in the game, he stepped up and take on the challenge in slowing him down to help them secure the victory.
