He produced the days first double double with 20pts, 10 rebounds. He’s shown quality ball handling skills working along the perimeter finding shooters and cutters, he made a concerted effort to get more rebounds for this team, and as usual he’s a deadly jump shooter when he gets things going, spotting up, or coming down in rhythm for transition 3’s.
He’s one of NorCal’s fast rising 2024 PG’s. He’s been playing consistent basketball since he arrived in NorCal from Hawaii. He’s starting to pick up DI offers with his play. A good size point guard who has all the tools necessary for the position. 13pts, 5rebs, 7asts.
Highlights

A solid big body prospect that’s strong, and moves well on the court. We haven’t seen much of him, but he’s much improved since the last time we saw him. He’s expanded his game, not just post. He had good vision and passing 6asts, to go with 25pts. He was strong on the boards 6rebs, he got transition baskets, and hit the short jumper.
When Hodgson has it going, he’s one of the better scorers in NorCal, he’s a bit streaky. He had it going at this event leading his team to a win over Taft from SoCal. The 6’2 SG dropped 22pts points and 5-3’s. He had back to back 3’s, and a buzzer beater.

There’s a good chance Ricketts had one of his best performances as a high school player coming off the bench for the Spartan to help pull off the upset of the top ranked team in Oregon, West Linn with Jackson Shelstad (Oregon commit) on the court. The 5’10 SG had 17pts, 4-3’s off the bench. He was 4/4 from 3.
He had a good bounce back game. He came out determined to carry the load on this day. He didn’t disappoint. He went for 33pts, collected 6 rebounds, 2asts, 2blks, and 2 stls to lead Jesuit to an impressive win over Riordan. He used his body forcefully in the paint, he went straight to the basket with his dribble, he hit long 3’s. He had a couple of dunks.
He’s a San Diego State commit. We’re not surprised at what he does on the court anymore. He’s put this team on his back with his consistent play. He had 38pts, 3asts, 3stls in one point win, along with 19 in the 4th qtr.
