In the fist matchup he has a double double and he looked dominate while doing it. Jasa is a player that can knock down threes but he does his work in the paint getting boards and getting second chance points. He will be someone to watch in this matchup if he is able to continue controlling the boards he will make it a tough matchup for his opponent. Jasa is also active on the defensive side and will be in the passing lane as well as altering shots. Will be a key player to get the eagles going early.","_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":"Brody Sheffield","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Yuma High School","_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":"Sheffield has been hot as of late and is a knock down shooter for Yuma. Sheffield will be a player to keep an eye on to see if he is able to get going early. If he is able to knock down some threes early Yuma will be able to get into a rhythm and it will open up the offense for the rest of the game. Yuma was not able to withstand the 4th quarter rally from the Eagles but if Sheffield is able to knock down his shots consistently, he will be able to negate any rallies. Sheffield is a player that can contribute on the defensive side of the ball and will have to play a big role in this game to advance.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64090c461fbf2"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#21 SkyView Academy vs #4 Highland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kyle Cosart","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"SkyView Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Cosart has been dominating on the boards as well as getting it done in the scoring column for the Hawks.

He will need to continue to control the boards in this matchup as the Huskies will try to push the pace and get second chance points. Cosart and the Hawks have been limiting second chance points in the playoff and will be an interesting matchup as the Huskies has a player that gets after the boards as well.

Morgan and the Huskies will look to push the pace and get the Hawks to play their style of game early and often. Morgan has been a beast on the boards and will get the ball on the break being able to finish at the rim.

He is very active in the passing lane and he turns that into scoring opportunities on the other end. On the offensive end on fast break chances he is able to pull up from three or he is able to finish at the basket even through contact. McClinton gets a lot of easy baskets in transition but it will be a tougher task this round is better at not committing turnovers. McClinton can score multiple different ways so it will be a good matchup with another team that is good at pushing the pace.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1325651"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Jackson is another player who is a walking double double and he is a skilled scorer being able to score on all levels.

Jackson is good in transition and will throw it down with a dunk if he gets the chance. With his handles he is able to create offense for himself and almost automatic in the paint and will put you on a poster if you get in the way. He is one of the most dynamic players in 3A and will definitely be a matchup problem this round for sure.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64090c461fee3"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#6 Windsor Charter Academy vs #3Centauri</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ball Kellen","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Windsor Charter Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Kellen is a dangerous player when he gets himself to the line and is almost automatic from the charity stripe.
