Clark a UNSIGNED Senior guard finished the day with 22 points. Clark entered the contest with a 20.5 ppg average. Zavieon plays the game very unselfish and almost to a fault at times. He was passive on some shots but very productive when he did shoot the ball. He seemed most effective when getting to the bucket and getting into the lane. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Plenty of Young Talent Here: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1768000,"width":400,"height":263,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/19A70DC1-2402-4D85-A8CF-8B753221F232-crop-2756x1810-1674770566.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/19A70DC1-2402-4D85-A8CF-8B753221F232-crop-2756x1810-1674770566.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1768000" width="400" height="263" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Dillon HS Wildcats always has football talent. <strong>Shawn Samuel</strong>, <strong>Jamarion Fling</strong>, <strong>Jamel Odom</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766947' first='Zamaurious' last='Robertson']</strong> all made good contributions today. Samuel was a brute down low in the paint all night long for the Wildcats. Samuel plays the game close to the cup and collected rebounds on putbacks and just solid effort. Shawn scored 8 points and brought a few bruises home with his toughness down low. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fling a sophomore had a big season on the gridiron and looks to be the next great running back in line. Jamarion played the game in attack mode all day long and really used his arms to fight off defenders. He showed to have great quick first step. Odom was active on the glass and the passing lanes. Jamel isn't flashy at all but he's effective close to the basket. He finished with 10 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1768001,"width":400,"height":263,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/4AA1AFAA-B17A-4DD9-BF21-990D14283963-crop-2819x1851-1674770658.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/4AA1AFAA-B17A-4DD9-BF21-990D14283963-crop-2819x1851-1674770658.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1768001" width="400" height="263" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robertson has a quick trigger from downtown.

Junior jumping jack <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1524081' first='Ty' last='Stanley']</strong> finished with 10 points to lead the way. Ty plays his best basketball when he looks to stalk the baseline and attack from the wing. Stanley a long and rangy athlete seems to excel at times in the transition game for the Bulldogs. <strong>Kavonte Mathews</strong> was a new name for the database today with his play. Mathews connected on some perimeter jumpers and felt very comfortable shooting the ball from the wing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bulldogs will have to battle to stay in contention after falling to (5-14) and (1-4) in Region 7-AAA. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
