Make no mistake when Jeremiah took over the keys to the car the Brentwood team went on their roll. The Indians were thought to be a contender but not a big favorite like they have been in the past. Jeremiah steadied the ship. Running the offense and scoring the ball. He is able to get downhill and finish creatively inside off the bounce. Has quick hands and seems to get big steals when needed the most. He had 26 points 10 assists and 5 steals in the semis and final games.  A bright future. The bottom line is Fred Diogene (reported on in my last report) and [player_tooltip player_id='1849323' first='Marquese' last='Denis'] very easily could have shared the MVP with Jeremiah.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1849323' first='Marquese' last='Denis']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Brentwood","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Outstanding workhorse.

Creates contact and finishes. Outstanding deep range from beyond the arc. Also realizes when he needs to get the ball to an open teammate. He rebounds well from the guard spot. In the championship game he 29 points  6 rebounds 4 assists. In the semi final game he had 18 points and 8 assists.
