Sunday Showcase Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The regular season may only have a few weeks left but it's heating up in the showcase world. Today we look at some top performers from Sunday's Showcase Games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marist bound senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902756' first='Jadin' last='Collins']</strong>, a do it all guard who has been the motor of the Rutgers Prep program this year, scored 20 points but it wasn't enough as "super, scintillating, sensational" to quote Dick Vitale, sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411404' first='Darius' last='Adams']</strong> rang up 21 points as Manasquan scored an impressive 64-54 victory over Rutgers Prep. RP got a dozen from <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902744' first='Cameron' last='Piggee']</strong>, one of the more underrated guards in the state, but Manasquan's depth of scoring was too much for them to overcome as the Warriors had four in double digits, including <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1213557' first='Ryan' last='Frauenheim']</strong> with 14, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1389143' first='Griffin' last='Linstra']</strong> with 11 and <strong>Jack Dettlinger</strong>, a 6'5" senior who has come on strong in the last week and should be on the radar for schools as a late recruit, also had 11.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highly impressive sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411649' first='Tobe' last='Nwobu']</strong> led Camden Catholic past Middle Twp in a nailbiter, 51-49. Nwobu scored 22 on the day and could get close to 800 points by the end of his sophomore year. He's going to be a prospect to watch in South Jersey the next two years and is a legit scorer at multiple levels. Fellow sophomore<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1411662' first='Luke' last='Kennevan']</strong> also helped out with 11--He's another one on pace to crack 1,000 at the rate he's scoring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St Mary's of Rutherford scored another impressive win, this time over Dwight Englewood to improve to 13-2 on the season. The Gaels were led by junior guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1153981' first='Luke' last='Gaccione']</strong> with 27. Gaccione came into the season with expectations from PH as being a facilitator for the other talented players like classmates <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1153992' first='Julien' last='Leveille']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1401992' first='LJ' last='Falconi']</strong>, as well as a guard who could light it up if he had to from deep, but he's shown to be a great well rounded, "do it all" type of guard. He got help from multi-sport athlete <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1401560' first='Damir' last='Stone']</strong>, who's having a big senior year. Stone added 14&amp;5 in the win to continue his tough play under the glass and on offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finally, No<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1153959' first='Dylan' last='Harper']</strong>, No Problem for Don Bosco Prep as they used a balanced attack to down Hudson Catholic. Senior forward <strong>Noah Barnett</strong> had 17 to continue what has been a big year for him as part of one of the top teams in the state. Senior guard<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1150263' first='Evan' last='Cabral']</strong>, an underrated prospect in the backcourt as a 6'2" role player, added 10 in the blowout. Cabral is quietly one of the best players in the state left on the board. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The next episode of the Prep Hoops NJ Podcast with Alex and Joe will drop within 48 hours, so keep checking the site! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
